dell laptop battery shopping
I'm starting to shop around for a replacement battery for my dell
laptop 600m. I'm considering purchasing outside of Dell (to try to save money) but wonder about different specs namely text that reads like... Mah or Wh. Is there a conversion factor to equate the two different measurements? I did find one site so far that may give me a clue and it read 4700Mah 53Wh 6 Cell vs. 48Wh 4320Mah 4 Cell so I might be able to use this as a rough estimate for shopping if no one can give me better information. Anything else I should know before I purchase a replacement battery for my 600m? Right now I'm thinking of purchasing from http://www.pacificbattery.com (reviews seem good but I have no experience with them) but if anyone has a better one, please say so. Thanks. // doug // website: MyHomeRebate.com "Buy New Homes for Less in Texas" |

If your laptop was ever damaged, secondary to a defective battery, Dell would cover the damage if, and only if, you were using a Dell approved (i.e., a Dell brand) battery. Notan |

Thanks. // doug // website: MyHomeRebate.com "Buy New Homes for Less in Texas" buy the Dell battery............don't mess around. Any particular reason you exclusively recommend the Dell? One reason I can think of easily. You know it will work and charge in your machine. Been a LOT of people who buy aftermarket batteries for laptops and find that because they lack the ID circuitry in them the factory charger doesn't work with them. Another is warranty issues. Dell will not cover damage resulting from using a non-Dell battery. -- Steve W. ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Unrestricted-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 120,000+ Newsgroups ----= East and West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =---- |

Thanks. // doug // website: MyHomeRebate.com "Buy New Homes for Less in Texas" Well to end this thread, I ended up buying from www.pacificbattery.com and it was delivered as promised and was the exact same battery as before (Dell brand, 53Wh). End of story. Thanks to all who replied. // doug // website: MyHomeRebate.com "Buy New Homes for Less in Texas" |
