Compaq 1600-XL256 Battery
Your Compaq 1600-XL256 battery allows you to move freely about so that you can use it where you want. Because no battery is the same, make sure and double-check the part number of the new battery and compare it to the old one. Buying a battery with a higher milliamp rating is fine, as it suggests the battery will last a bit longer on one charge. What is important is the physical size of the battery as well as the connection. More amps in a battery basically means the longer you will be able to use the laptop on one charge.
What symptoms are present when the li-ion battery is in need of a replacement?
- The laptop battery is puffed up like its about to burst
- The laptop is unable to boot up when it is unplugged
- The laptop lasts less than an hour before it dies
