What to look for in a battery:

Battery Chemistry:    Nickel Cadmium (NiCad) This is the oldest form of rechargeable battery technology. NiCad batteries tend to have the shortest run-times and are the least expensive of all the battery types.        Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) These batteries offer improved run-times and are less prone to the memory effect than their NiCad counterparts.    Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) This is the newest form of rechargeable battery technology. These batteries are lightweight, offer excellent run-times and do not suffer from the memory effect.

How batteries are rated:     Milliamp-hour (mAH) ratings- the mAH rating of a battery is an indication of the battery’s capacity. Batteries with higher mAH ratings will give the laptop user improved run-time between recharges. Most Hi-Capacity batteries have higher mAH ratings than the original manufacturer’s batteries. This does not cause any incompatibilities it just means that the HiCapacity battery will power the laptop longer than the original.

Car Adapters:      Car (auto)  adapters are DC to DC converters which allow the laptop to be plugged into a car cigarette lighter socket without an AC adapter. Hi-Capacity car adapters provide enough power to run the laptop and charge the battery simultaneously.
