Latitude C series: Is a battery a battery ?

Archived from groups: alt.sys.pc-clone.dell (More info?)

I've got several C series latitudes, CPi, CPxJ, C640 , and several battery
packs and I no longer remember which properly went to which.

Does it really matter ? They're all Lithium Ion but different mAh ratings.


I've got:

(2) Dell P/N 075UYF "Dell Battery Module" 14.8V 3800mAh

(1) (No Part Number) "Dell Battery Module" 14.8V 4460 mAh

(2) Dell P/N 0003149C "Latitude CP Battery Module" 14.4V 3000 mAh

Okay, this last one is obviously for a CP not the C640, but which CP - the
CPi or CPx or neither ?


More importantly, can I have two different types of battery packs in a
laptop at the same time - for instance a 3800mAh and 4460 mAh together in
the C640 for extra staying power - or will this freak out the circuitry ?
