This is... kinda the right place, I think.. forgive me if it's not.

I've picked up an ancient little Toshiba Portege 620c in the council cleanup, along with a 650c. The 650c was ripped apart before I got hold of a power charger (due to the broken case making it practically unusable), and its parts were scavanged.

So, now I have all the usable bits from the inside, one of which is the RTC battery. Now, I get the 620 up and running and it's got a problem RTC. I want to fix this.

So, the question:

(...on the assumption that the charging circuit is fine) Is there any reason that the two batteries below (one is the 620c, one is the 650) could not be used interchangably? My understanding is there is no difference except for physical shape (current capacity is the same, voltage the same, same chemistry...), but I just want to confirm..
Battery 1: P71007006050
Battery 2:P71007006036

Any thoughts'd be good... Ta everyone!

According to the datasheet Battery 1 has a two pin connector and Battery 2 has a three pin connector. You won't be able to use them interchangeably. Other than that if they have the same rating and polarity on the connectors they can be used interchangeably.

Ah, yeah, noticed that, but that's nothing that cutters and a bit of soldering won't fix... Ta!
