    Hello,

    I have some questions.
    I just bought a spare battery for my notebook from china and got the wrong type of battery. - Sent the wrong one -
    My original battery was 10.8V / 4.8AHr, but my new spare battery was 10.8V / 5.2AHr.
    Is it good or is it bad?
    Can i use it?
    Will it Damage my notebook?

    Thank you

    It should be fully usable but with longer batterylife. More mAh means longer batterylife as it's the time the battery can store the "energy". Aslong as the voltage is correct there will not be a problem.
