    Hi,

    I have an Acer Aspire One 531h. It is five years old and has started flagging that the battery should be replaced when I unplug it from the mains. Surprisingly, if I search on the Acer site they don't seem to sell replacement batteries for this model but searching further afield I found a non-OEM replacement:
    http://www.battdepot.com/uk/model/notebook+battery/acer/aspire+one+531h/lac213.aspx
    It clearly states that it is intended for my exact model however I have noticed a slight difference in spec:
    - The original battery is 10.8V 4400mAh (=48Wh)
    - The non-OEM one is 11.1V 4400mAh (=49Wh)
    So should I be concerned that the voltage of the replacement is slightly higher than the original? It is only 2.7% high and I would assume the netbook internals would be robust to such small differences but I dont really know for sure, does anyone have any experience in this area? I already bought a replacement power supply from the same site when the Acer supply died about a year ago and that has performed fine. In that case however the spec of the replacement was identical to the original. So, does anyone know, is a 11.1V battery close enough to the 10.8V original to be sure that it wont damage the netbook ?

    Thanks,

    Usjes.
