I have a Compaq Presario 1277 Laptop and purchased a replacement battery from E-bay. I can't get it to work in my computer, and contacted the seller. He insists it should work. The existing part # 116314-001 says to replace only with 138184-001. This is what I thot I bid on, but got a 347737-001. This is a separate issue that I have taken up with the seller, but my question is: the voltage of my existing battery is 14.8 v, and the battery that I recieved is only 9.6 v. Should that make a difference? The battery housing for each is identical, and I checked several other e-tailers that carry replacement batteries and the 347737-001 was listed as a replacement for my computer. Thanks.
