i would return it, not going to be even close to the performance.
Humm, I thought 5200 ma would outperform 4600 ma.
Two different technologies have distinctly DIFFERENT discharge characteristics..
Metal hydride discharge is not as flat as Lith ion so 5200 ma Metal Hydride might give slightly less run time than 4600 ma Lith ion.
Lith ion has a very long flat discharge curve, the down side to that is when it is empty, it cuts of much faster than Metal Hydride.
I do have a concern though when mixing, the laptop will have special battery charging management system designed exclusively for Lith ion which may or may not play well..
I would tend to agree with returning it.
I would suggest buying a Genuine OEM replacement from a reputable dealer or even from the manufacturer for best results. HINT, EBAY IS NOT "REPUTABLE" PLACE TO BUY OEM BRANDED PARTS!
Lots of FAKED PARTS out there on the wobbly web, ANYONE can make up a brand sticker and slap it on cheaply made parts..
