Correct voltage for T42 battery?
I have a 6 cell battery for my T42 2373, and it is running at a voltage of 12.35 (1.12 amps, and 13.73 watts) Are these numbers in the right range? I was looking for a replacement and the most common voltage I saw was 10.8

Re: Correct voltage for T42 battery?
As long as you buy an IBM/Lenovo battery (and not a cheap Chinese knock-off) the battery will have the correct voltage (10.8V is the 'going rate').
If your laptop charges at a different voltage /amperage, but using the correct adapter and battery, all is well.

The maximum voltage at 100% charge is 12.55V, the minimum (at 5% charge) depends on manufacture of battery, for Sanyo it is about 10.8V, for Sony and Panasonic: 10.4-10.6V.andertrack wrote:I have a 6 cell battery for my T42 2373, and it is running at a voltage of 12.35 (1.12 amps, and 13.73 watts) Are these numbers in the right range?

Your voltage is normal if the number you showed is when the battery charge is around 90-100%.
