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

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