Replacing laptop battery
 
Is it easy to do?

Basically, I want to go from a 3 cell to a 6 cell battery on a netbook. Would it be better to get a pro to do this?

No, all you have to do is buy the right battery, and pop it on. Unless you have one of those new MacBooks that have an integrated battery, and will become completely useless after 2 years.

Ooh that sounds easy enough.

Soundy 01-08-2009 08:41 AM
Yeah, SOUNDS easy... but you're a girl... ;)

(kidding! it actually is really easy on 99.99% of laptops)

Don't have it yet. Was just wondering if it was easy.

I didn't take a class. I just started doing it.

Have not shorted out any motherboards to date! Or killed any CPUs. Or anything like that.

Wouldn't the easiest thing be to simply order it WITH the high-capacity battery? Probably save money too, as you're not buying the smaller original battery...

Iceman_2K 01-12-2009 02:15 PM
not every laptop has a higher capacity battery to it.

Soundy 01-12-2009 02:31 PM
Well if she's asking about swapping it herself, there must be one available, no? Either that, or if she hasn't bought the laptop yet, she might want to consider one that's available to be ordered WITH the better battery.

lilaznviper 01-12-2009 03:19 PM
i do know that HP laptops do come with 12 cell batteries

Yeah, that'd be the easiest thing to do if I were y'know, ordering it.

I'm not ordering it. It's being given to me.

Soundy 01-12-2009 04:14 PM
Oh, well, can't complain about the price then :)

there is always the option of an external battery that plugs into the AC port of your laptop. a universal power supply as it were.
