New Dell Battery

    I need to replace the wifes' in the wifes laptop. First ubuntu was complaining about the battery being broken or old and now windows is complaining about it as well (dual boot on laptop. Ubuntu for general use and Windows for work stuff). Anyway, the battery is HK421 for a Dell Inspiron (can't remember model number off the top of me head) so I did a search on ebay and found this. The only problem is that on the current battery its spec is
    rating 14.8v and capacity 29Wh whereas on the one on ebay it is
    rating 11.1v and capacity 4800mAh (~53Wh if I calculated it correctly)
    I guess having a higher capacity is fine, but is the 11.1v rating wrong / incompatible/undesirbale or whatever.
    basically is this the correct battery to buy or should I be looking for one with the same specs.

    Oh and if anyone knows somewhere else to buy less pricy laptop batteries that would be great

    Thanks
    Dace

    I bought one off ebay for a dell inspiron 9300, came from hong kong.
    It worked a treat for 3 months, now it doesnt hold the charge at all - back to square one!.
    Rather than spend another 100 euros, I will put that towards a new laptop.
    You can get a netbook from argos for 220 euros
