Dying Battery - 10.8v or 11.1v

ultimatedingbat

Hi,
I have an acer 5336 laptop which is now (after 12 months and 2 days!) showing a failure. It won't keep a charge anymore.

When shopping I have found it difficult to find the 11.1v battery as is currently in my laptop. However I keep being told the 10.8v will be perfectly fine and compatible.

is this true?

I can't find one that is 10.8v.

Most of the compatible products which are half the price of the one you suggested are 10.8

Doesn't look that way to me

I doubt whether a 3% difference in voltage will make any difference.

Thank you that is what I wanted to know. The cheapest replacements I havefound are 10.8v. I need to save cash right now

10.8 or 11.1v won't make much difference. Some models could be sensitive to a 14.8v variant, so don't use one unless it's specified for your machine - some lappys will take 10, 11 or 14v batteries, some won't.

Do not buy the cheapest you can find, or in around 3 months time you'll be back asking why your 3 month old battery doesn't hold a charge any more.

The one I have purchased wasnt the cheapest I could find. The very cheapest I found was actually £6 but I went for one at £14.99

Apart from the three year warranty not being worth a jot in real life....is that even the correct part?
