    Hi there,

    I would just like to ask a couple of things about battery.

    My standard battery that came with my R61i is just a 4 cell battery (its a sony 4 cell Li-Ion, Cap 37.44wh, voltage 14.40v.)

    and im planning to buy a new battery but im thinking which is better since their price are almost the same:
    1. 6 Cell , Voltage 10.8v, cap. 5200mah
    2. 7 Cell , Voltage 14.4v, cap. 5200mah

    What does the voltage represent? and what does the capacity represent? Will battery with the 10.8v be compatible with my laptop? since the standard battery is 14.4v

    Does buying the 7 cell better than 6 cell in the above case?

    Will it be compatible with my standard adaptor?
    90W 20V input 100-240v, output 20v

    Thanks a lot
