I have an extra CF-29 battery and I wa wondering if I can use it in my CF-30. It slides right in and the connectors look the same. Any thoughts?

Yes it should work. Slight differences in capacity, output voltage, charging current etc, but compatible.

Less capacity but yes, it'll work!

The 46 and 29 seem to work fine in a CF30 or CF31. The 65,71, and 72 work but the battery meter and run times get wonky. If one of those was the only battery I was using, it would probably be fine with a battery recalibration. But if I use a long runtime battery and then a short runtime battery, the laptop gets confused.
