New battery volt issue

I was wondering if someone can help me.

My laptop is in need of a new battery. The original battery is 10.8 volts. We purchased a replacement battery online which happens to be 11.1 volts. Is this a problem?

 

Greetings, Avrohomd.

It would be my guess that the 300mv difference is negligible, especially if the replacement battery's connection layout and physical footprint are the same.

Virtually all battery-driven devices have a range of acceptable voltages, and I would imagine that the 11.1 volts falls within your machine's parameters. To be certain, what's the make and model # of your laptop?

 

Thank you for your reply and helpful information. :wave

The make of my computer: HP

The model number: dv6648se

Might this battery shorten the life of my computer? rolleyes

Thanks again.

In my opinion, the difference in voltages shouldn't affect your machine.

However, it is also my opinion that you should try to match the original specs for your machine for a replacement battery. The battery replacement should be fairly easy to find, as it's a common item. For example:
