Anyone know if its safe to use a 14.4v, 2085mAh (32Wh) battery in my laptop which came with a 14.8v, 2800mAh (45Wh) battery? I know it will fit and that runtime will be shorter but is it safe to use?

Its a Toshiba C55T-B5110. The battery is from a Toshiba C55-B5299. They share the same body so I know it fits.

Since its lowered specced you shouldn't have any problems with burning anything, but there is still a risk.

This ones rated for 14.4V, the laptop will charge it to 14.8 V... don't even try.. . never mess around with batteries... especially when the voltages are different.
