Just to confirm - you have an older laptop that you still want to use running on battery. It's not a desk-princess laptop; it actively gets moved about while running ?– CriggieCommented Dec 26, 2023 at 8:49

It's OK for the laptop but maybe not so OK for the battery. 3.6V and 3.7V cell are usually charged to 4.2V and the charging circuit for a 3.75V cell may charge it to a bit higher, E.G. 4.25V. The battery cell in smartphones now are 3.85V nominal and can charge to 4.45V. If you care about safety, check the “charge terminate voltage”– user3528438Commented Dec 26, 2023 at 10:26

@Criggie: yes, I still use it for some stuff.– Dejan GovcCommented Dec 27, 2023 at 11:07

@DejanGovc just confirming you need it on battery ? It is eminently possible to run most laptops with no batteries installed.– CriggieCommented Dec 28, 2023 at 7:21

1Get the battery closest in voltage to your existing one and try it. You can ask the supplier to confirm that it will work before you buy it.– Rohit GuptaCommented Jan 17 at 12:04

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. windows-7), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
