so i passes a few articles saying how you could replace your laptop battery pack if you got the same kind of batteries used in the battery pack. So i had the idea of increasing how many batteries are parallel in the pack and making an extension to the pack (probably with hobbie supplies or something.. nothing too fancy....).
Before i ask questions the battery packs stats are:
+10.8v | 44mAh | 47Wh
6batteries; 2 parallel/ in a series of 3
so = six 3.6v 22mAh batteries
Alright, so i have 2 questions:
#1
(from my volt meter; the batteries that came in are a little over charged. bought 3.7v and came in with print saying this. voltmeter says 3.84v.
3.84 x 3 = 11.52... i have resistors i'll be throwing in to get it down to 10.8. i consider myself still new-ish to electronics but seems common sense to me that going up or down(even just a little) in voltage is really bad for the device, since the voltage labeled on the pack was "10.8" and not "10ish" so anyway the Q:
How bad is it to stray from the exact voltage that the original battery was ???
#2
i'm going from 2 batteries parallel to 4. doubling mAh from 4400 to 8800.
This does nothing but make the batteries all together last longer correct?
i beleived this to be true but read something a few days ago that gave me the impression that this would possibly be bad for the laptop.
I usually dont do anything without being 100% sure i'm doing it correctly. and even tho i'm doing this for my 300 dollar netbook with already a battery life of about 8 hours. its still 300 dollars that i dont wanna throw away. and hell i'm greedy lol. if it works i'm gonna add more batteries. i want a 24hour netbook. =D
