    On HP website they give you a choice between the two when ordering dv6700t, saying High capacity one offers upto 3 hr 30 mins time. But in their accessory sale section for batteries, they arent selling high capacity battery, just regular one. What is the difference between the two. Is their size same, and are they interchangeable??? What is the difference between the battery life of the two, and is it possible to tell just by looking at it if its regular 6 cell or high capacity 6 cell battery??? Is it really worth it?

    all i know is that the dv6000t that i have has really bad battery life on a 6 cell.. barely over an hour. i would invest in the high capacity

    It says it on the hp website when you order. If i remember correctly it was around 15% more capacity.

    Their size is the same, it just uses improved battery cells i guess
