I'm using an HP G5 245 laptop and want to replace the OEM battery, which has a capacity of 47WH @ 10.8v (P/N: HSTNN-PB6V TPN-1124 844198-850 MI06): Screenshot

  • I couldn't find a 10.8v battery, but found some info that we can swap a 10.8v battery for an 11.1v; is this true and will it affect my laptop?

I found a battery online and need help determining if it's compatible, as it's 53WH @ 11.1v:

  • Will it affect my system, such as a difference in performance?

No! The system might work but likely won't due to the different charging requirements.

Worse then that - assuming the higher voltage battery will fit (I would hope it wouldn't) it can do damage to your laptop. Higher maximum currents and/or WH values are OK - arguably beneficial, but higher voltages are problematic unless the laptop is designed to handle them. From the little I've seen online of your laptop this is not the case here.
