    Hey,

    got a silly acer extensa 5620 with a duff battery. basically doesnt charge much at all lasting all of 5 mins when you take it off A/C.

    had a google around but all the battery website i went to look dodgy as hell, none have phone number to ring, site layout is very similar between sites.

    issue uis battery model is TM00751 @ 11.1V 4000mAh

    but that model appears to be a 14.8V at 4400MaH !!

    i can find the acer model number on any of the compatible lists

    Extensa 5620 1A2G16Mi

    anyone ideas ?

    They are usually are from Hong Kong. Unless you give a call to Energizer or Duracell or Panasonic if they make any. In any case, these companies are unlikely to do a side buisness with the OEM products they are supposed to ship to them. That is if they are genuine. Or it could be someone ordering 200 batteries from the manufacture at a discount and sell it to you, but usually the price is not far off from the OEM.

    Else, it's a company that produces replicated battery cases and install Lithium-ion batteries cell they got. (risky, as you don't know if they use any standard or regulations in installing this explosive battery)

    It's clear that OEM's boost the price of the battery like no tomorrow... it's full of profit... but that's life.

    not prepared to wait 2-4 weeks for a battery to be honest as its an issue now so a UK supplier would be better

    If you can't wait, then call Acer.
    If I am looking at the same battery (as Acer follows the battery model, and not the laptop model), so I follow the picture. It's 60$ U.S.
    I was expecting 150$ - 200$ U.S

    You must match the voltage. The mAh doesn't matter.
