What should we look for to choose the right battery for our laptop?

Battery choice based on laptop type

One simple way is to look at the exact type of laptop you have. This can most often be found on the data sheet on the front or back of the laptop.

Once you have the exact type of laptop, you can enter it in the Laptop type filter on the website.

From the products listed, choose the battery with the right capacity and voltage for your needs (see later for important parameters when choosing).

To be on the safe side, check the product's data sheet to make sure that your laptop type is included in the compatibility list.

Battery selection by battery type

Each battery has a unique identifier. This identifier can be found on the laptop battery under the designations P/N, Type, ..etc.

Once you have found this identifier, type it into the search bar on our website.

From the products listed, choose the battery with the capacity and voltage that suits you (see later for important parameters when choosing).

To be on the safe side, check the product's data sheet to make sure the battery type is listed in the compatibility list.

What are the most important parameters to consider when choosing?

The most important thing is to choose the right power and voltage parameters.

Voltage: the voltage of a laptop battery is determined by the number of cells it contains. The nominal voltage of a lithium-ion battery cell is 3.6 V, and the voltage required to power the laptop is achieved by connecting the cells in series.

Power: The battery power is indicated by the manufacturer in ampere-hours (Ah), which tells you how long you can use your laptop without charging it. This is the number of hours the battery will last before the battery is exhausted. The battery power is the number of hours the laptop will last without battery power. The power is the product of the nominal voltage (V) and the capacity (mAh). The higher the power, the longer the laptop can run without charging the battery.

To give a simple example, if your laptop needs a 14.4V battery, choosing a 2200 mAh capacity battery will keep it running for half as long as choosing a 4400 mAh battery. Of course, higher capacity also means larger size and weight, so it's worth considering these too.

Do I choose the standard, PRO or ULTRA battery?

As we have read before, capacity is the main factor that determines how long a battery can power a laptop.

How does a PRO or ULTRA battery offer more than the normal version?

Basically, the PRO and ULTRA versions are high capacity batteries. In most cases, they allow laptops to run longer than the factory battery. Perfect choice for those who want to run their laptop for longer periods without charging.
