Replacement Laptop Battery Gateway
Can you really replace the 11.1 V battery with a 14.8 V battery in a Gateway laptop?
I'm looking for a replacement battery for my MX8738. The battery is labeled "6MSBG" and 11.1 V @ 4800 mAh (3UR18650F-2QC-MA1). I am finding some 6MSBG batteries with that same number, same ratings, no problem.
But - I am also finding batteries that are labeled 6MSBG, and are said to be compatible, but which are 14.8 V @ 6600 mAh (12 cells). They're advertised as having much longer life.
Now, from what I remember about electronics, you can increase battery wattage (current) with no problem - the device will only pull as much current as it needs. But if you increase Voltage, things tend to go "pop" and let the magic smoke get out.
Is a 14.8 V battery really an acceptable replacement for the 11.1 V battery the laptop came with? Is it worth double the money to get longer battery life?
Any advice about purchasing a replacement laptop battery will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Most laptops are designed to handle different DC voltages. The voltages on batteries are almost always 3 to 5 volts less than what the same laptop receives through its AC adapter.
The higher mAh (milliamp hour) rating means it has a larger capacity i.e. it lasts longer than a battery with a lower rating when both are under the same load.
As long as the battery's voltage isn't higher than your AC adapter's, you *shouldn't* have any problems with it, but do some comparison shopping to make sure other sellers are offering the same batteries as compatible with your laptop, just to be sure. You can also contact Gateway and confirm the specs on a 6600mAh battery they would sell you.
If you're doing your search based on your laptop model and are sticking with reputable companies, you shouldn't run into trouble.
Other advice is to buy a new battery whenever possible. Used and refurbished have lesser warranties (if any) and generally don't last as long. The price difference rarely makes sense in the slightly longer term.
