    hello,

    i have a samsung rv511 notebook wit a 4400 mAh (48Wh) DC 11.1V battery, which is very poor.

    are there any possibilities to get a battery with more power ? i found several battery with 5200mAh but this isnt much more.

    ill hope u can help me

    thanks =)

    If it is a true/quality 5200 mAH replacement the 18% increase is more than noticeable. Just be wary of eBay promises that can get you a cheap price but less runtime than what you're getting now.

    The other thing you may try is to repack your current battery pack with more powerful cells - not recommending you do this yourself - find a trustworthy (local, preferrable) battery reseller/builder in your area and see what can be done with your existing battery case.

    Good luck.
