I've never owned a laptop (or any other > computer, for that matter) from new. Today the supplier sent me an email telling me that they tested with the new battery, and it operates perfectly. They left the new battery without power connected, and it operated with correct autonomy. They checked the battery's power levels from the terminal and it reached the maximum load limit correctly and then it was decreasing normally. When you talk about "the numbers", do you mean to see by the console the values that are obtained for both batteries (voltage, for example) to make a comparison? Kind regards, Daniel
