help, Rebuilding a better battery for no-name netbook.

rayjai

Hey Ben,

 

I have a no-name netbook that I got a few years ago and the battery life only has 1 hour left. I'm trying to find a replacement battery for it but I can't seem to find it. I have no part number to go by. It would be awesome if you or anyone here could help me rebuild the battery by replacing the cells inside. Maybe you could even make it better!

 

I appreciate any help I can get!

 

Ray

    thanks for getting back to me.

    there is no marking ont he netbook, the netbook is a 10.1 inch knock off of the sony Viao P.

    The battery sticker lists, Polymer Li-ion battery, Model L200, DC: 7.4v, 3800mah 25wh.

    I took the laptop apart before and i forgot the model of the motherboard. i'm going to take it apart again to check.

    do you know if I can use another type of battery instead of li-ion?

    Thanks again!

    you cannot use a different type of cell without replacing the controller aswell, and as its an unknown laptop it would be very hard to spec. I think your best options would be to locate two 3.7v 3800mah cells to replace the old ones, source a whole new battery or use an external power option.
