ASUS TUF F15: Is it safe to upgrade from 48Wh to a 90Wh battery?
​
Hi everyone,
I have an ASUS TUF Gaming F15 that originally came with a 48Wh battery, and I'm considering upgrading it to the larger 90Wh battery that is available for some TUF F15 variants.
From what I understand, the 90Wh battery is physically compatible with certain F15 models, but I want to make sure there aren't any electrical, charging, BIOS, or thermal issues before I buy one.
For anyone who has done this upgrade:
- Is installing the 90Wh battery actually safe on a model that originally came with the 48Wh battery?
- Is it basically plug-and-play, or are any BIOS/settings changes required?
- Does the laptop recognize the larger battery normally?
- Are there any differences in the battery connector, voltage, charging circuit, or battery management that I should be concerned about?
- Does installing the larger battery affect the charger or motherboard in any way?
- Is there anything I should check on the battery before buying it (model number, voltage, connector, etc.)?
- And most importantly, would you recommend doing this upgrade, or is it better to stick with the original 48Wh battery?
I'm mainly interested in getting better battery life for normal/light use. I don't want to risk damaging the motherboard or creating a battery safety issue just for the extra capacity.
If anyone has personally upgraded a 48Wh TUF F15 to the 90Wh battery, I'd really appreciate hearing about your experience.
Thanks!
