I need the help of someone with smarts about batteries. Now, this has nothing to do with flashlight batteries, so please forgive me, but I'm not sure where else to go for info.
My Dell laptop battery died two days ago. The existing OEM is a rechargeable Li-ion battery with the following specs: 11.1V, a capacity of 90Wh, and 8400mAh.
The replacement I'm looking at: 10.8V, a capacity of 84Wh, and 7800mAh.
In the real world, will there be a drop off in performance?
By the way, the OEM is only 15 months old. Is this the normal life expectancy of these batteries? Is there a usage pattern that might increase performance and life?
Thank you, gentlemen!
