Default Battery for tablet

The battery's gone wonky on my tablet. It takes a 3000 mah.
If I was able to get a battery, like maybe, a 6000 mah, would
it charge correctly, or would I need to go back with the same
type battery?

There is plenty of room for a larger size battery, longer, wider,
and even thicker. It would be easy enough to measure, I just
forgot to when I had the case open.

Just guessing - but its probably not unlike a laptop battery, in which case
almost certainly lithium.
Do not mess with lithium cells unless you know what you're doing!
Particularly multiple cells. They require a charge balancing system - if any
one cell gets over charged, it can go exothermic with a fairly entertaining
end of life performance.


That could be interesting.

The battery is flat, appx 5mm thick, 60 mm wide & 80 mm long.

I might open it again soon & get exact measurements. It would be easy to replace, if I knew where to get a battery.
