Can I replace an 8 cell with this 12 cell battery?

I purchased this one in particular for the extra run time, and it does last longer than the 8 cell battery I replaced. The battery is about 1/2 an inch taller, which in my case is good because it offers more airflow when placed on a flat surface and helps keep the computer cooler.

Yes, I purchased without knowing it was larger than original. All fit fine. Battery just protrudes a bit.

I did and it works fine. My understanding (I'm not a techie) is that the battery will last longer when not plugged in than the 8 cell. I haven't had it long enough to test this for sure.

Battery fit perfectly. Don't know if a 6 or 12 cell. I bought it as a backup.

I saw a 12 cell at Toshiba Direct for $150. I wonder why they don't have a 9 cell...You can always upgrade your battery and it's an easy task. Just unplug & turn off laptop, then switch them out. With a lot of the higher cell batteries, however, they stick out from the bottom of the laptop. The good thing is that they are in the back part so all it does is give you more slant.

Yes, but check the size in amp hours of the battery you are replacing to make sure the new one will be equal or better in amp hour capacity.

No it's a third party piece of junk, get one of the 12 cell lithium batteries. I got my money back on this one and put it toward a 12 cell battery.

I was unsure of buying this battery I saw some of the review on it and I said why not try and I have not had any problems with it. there is a six cell and a 9 cell I got the 9 cell battery. I hope this answer your question.

the answer is no. you replace a battery with the same size and voltage for safety reasons and fire hazards.

Absolutely. They charge the same as the 16850 cells, just with lower total capacity. I've used my 14650 cells in here for a couple of years and am happy.

Yes and no. The device uses a LiFePO4 400mAH battery with an attached wire/plug. You could find such a cell and replace it but a battery like that isn't that common yet.I'm thinking it's going to be a long long time before you have to worry about it though.

Yes, it should. If you are replacing the original 6 cell battery this will be a little thicker since it's a 12 cell but it works great.

Yes, the SLA 12V 8AH battery is the same physical size as a 12V 7AH. It just offers a little more capacity. The 9AH is the same size as well. When you get to 10AH, the battery gets physically taller.

I've got the same question. I have a DV7-3165DX, and HP says that the original battery part number is 480385-001. But the battery that came with my laptop is an 8-cell. So I'm wondering if replacing it with a 12-cell would be safe to do.

I am not certain, but I did use the part number listed on HP/Compaq website for the replacement battery. I replaced the 6 cell with a 12 cell. I will check when I get home and see if I still have the information and repost to you.

I am not sure, if it's not listed I wouldn't gamble on it. I know my battery is a 6 cell and yours seems to be a 3 cell so they def have different batteries.

Can one upgrade the battery for the Toshiba? It seems like a 9 or 12 cell would be awesome, but I don't want to a) break the bank or b) break the warranty. Can it easily be done?

Can easily replace an 8.4v 1200mAh and it will last longer than the 1200mAh
