    How important is the voltage rating on a laptop battery?
    I need to replace my HP laptop battery. The voltage rating on the original battery is 14.4V. The HP replacement on the HP website has a 10.8V rating. That doesn't sound right. HP should know what works in their equipment, but with that big a difference, I'm skeptical. I would like to know if a battery with a lower output voltage will work properly before buying it.

    Thanks,
    Walt

    Voltage ratings are very important. Are you sure they are giving you the right specification? Have you tried looking elsewhere for a battery to see what it might say for a rating ?

    I was able to find a company which sold a battery with the same model number on the internet.
