    Hello All!

    I have a Compaq nx9600 with a dead battery. I popped it open to find sony SF US18650GR batteries all lined up in a row within.

    Further research finds 3.7V 2200mAh batteries out there from 6-8 dollars and I need 12 of them... Which means that it wouldnt be cost effective for me to fix the darn things.

    I did find 3.7V 2400mAh for 99 cents each and was wondering if any of you might know whether I could use these batteries with a higher milliamp?

    Thanks in advance!

    Of course you can use higher capacity batteries - they will actually last longer. But at that price i don't know if they're really 2400mAH. Batteries are expensive.

    Thats what I was worried about as well. I suppose you get what you pay for but I'm on a budget and the batteries are almost as much as another whole new sealed battery otherwise.

    I guess I'll just buy an aftermarket one.

    Thanks!
