Two identical machines, different batteries(6-cell vs 9), possible to swap them?

Good morning.

I own a 9-cell Latitude E5530 which I'm not using as much as I expected and I'll soon have an other E5530 with a 6-cell battery which I'll use more than initially planned.

The 9-cell adapter is 90W and I presume that the 6-cell adapter will be 65W. Am I right in saying that if I want to swap the batteries, all I have to do is to remove it from one machine, putting it in the other and of course also swap the adapters?

The only difference between the two machines is the processor(I3 vs I5) but I doubt this makes a difference for what I want to achieve, no?

Thanks.

 

If they have the same chassis, you can swap it. So yes you can swap it.

Regards to ac adapter, it's not dependent on the battery, but usually the graphics card. Dell has been packing 65w ones with intel graphics (no dedicated) and the lower level E5xxx. But just use 90w one if you have that. You dont need a new ac.

 

I understand.

Yes, both are E5530s and both equipped with the HD....4600 I think.

 

Prob HD4000; the 4600 is new with the lower-graphics Haswells.

The 9 cell will probably charge a bit slowly with the 65W (and ExpressCharge will certainly be disabled, buy since that's a battery killer you would want to disable it anyway), but as Dellienware said, both should work.
