Surely that depends on the price? Two 4400mAH batteries for the cost of
one 5800mAH for example could be worth having if everything else is equal.

Well, I don't want to carry around two spare batteries rather than one,
I don't want my laptop to run out of juice early, and the fact that the
"replacement" part has a markedly lower capacity speaks volumes of the
quality of the cells it contains. *I value my laptop enough that I don't

Some laptop manufactureres have a rabge of batteries of different
capacity. It may well be that 4400mAH is a kosher replacement for the
bottom of the range and just doesn't suit you.
