Bonty Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 Hi, My 7530 battery has just died. According to my service tag it currently has a GHXKY installed however I'd like to upgrade it to a 97wh 6 cell battery. The battery I have seen is a genuine 97wh and is a CJ18V. Given that mine is 7.6v and the 6 cells are 11.4v, are the power management boards different ? I'm also aware that Dell used two different battery power connectors as well.... Is the 97Wh OK to install into my 7530. Worst case requiring a different power connector? Thanks.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron44126 Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 Should be fine, unless you have a 2.5” SATA drive installed, then the larger battery will not fit.

burntstew Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 If swapping from the 4 cell to the larger 6 cell ends up requiring different power connectors do tell as ill likely be doing the reverse soonish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyPC8MyBrain Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 @burntstew the plug has to be the same, you are not swapping the board just the battery connected to it the impossible is not impossible, its just haven't been done yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
