Compaq 1600-XL258 Battery
Your Compaq 1600-XL258 battery makes your laptop portable which gives you the opportunity to use it anywhere you please. Because no battery is the same, be sure to check the part number of the new battery and compare it to the old battery. 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 actual size of the battery and the connection it has. More amps in a battery basically means the longer you will be able to use the laptop when fully charged.
Simple indications of a poorly working primary battery
- The laptop battery is puffed up like its about to burst
- The laptop lasts way less than it used to before it shuts itself down
- The laptop will not turn on when not connected to the charger
