T43 new battery & AC are different from original

[Procter]

I just got the battery and AC adapter replacement for the in-warranty T43, but finding out the FRUs are not those I gave them in the phone (my original parts).

The orginal battery is 92P1089 (SONY from China), but the new one is 92P1087(Sanyo from China); the old AC adapter is 08K8213 (made in indonesia) but the new one is 92P1017(made in Shenzhen, China). I still remember the huge difference in different FRUs ( like the Thailand keyboard and Chinese keyboard), so I wonder if there are such kind of differences in battery and ac adapter. If there are, I guess I could call IBM/Lenovo to switch.

And btw the AC adapter does not come with a power cord, do I have to call back to get one? And one huge problem is I could not find the old battery (may lost in my moving), but I got a prepaid label asking me to send old battery back to avoid charge for new part. What can I do? Can I call them to explain?

Thanks a lot

Please gimme some hints about the comparision.

From google, someone said "theoretically" the indonesia adapter is better than the Shenzhen, China one. Basically, the indonesia one is hotter but quieter, and it IS quieter when I tried.

Maybe I should call to ask for a same adapter as my original one and plus a power cord.

But for the battery, I'm not sure. One weird thing is the new Sanyo battery has a full charge capacity being slightly larger than the design 51.84 wh, it showed 54 wh full charge capacity ( I didn't actually charge it, just plug in the brand new one, and this was listed in the battery info) while my old sony battery had these two the same 51.84.
