Dell E7450 Battery Voltage matters?

[Boutchoo]

Greetings!
I recently bought a Dell E7450, but after a few months, my battery began to be defective.
I ordered a replacement from Dell.

Old Battery :
54Wh - 7.4V
6986mAh - 8.7V

New Battery :
54Wh - 7.6V
7340mAh - 8.8V

I was simply wondering what pushed Dell to make this revision on the battery?
Will the extra voltage and mAh will benefit the laptop in any way over the old one?

Thank you!

It just looks like Dell upgraded it a bit. The more mAH the longer the life. The tiny bit of voltage wont really affect things.

Okay, I see!
The 300mAh extra is not negated by the 0.1V(0.2V) extra power consumption?

That is correct

That is correct

Intresting, they succefully managed to cram in more mAh in the same form factor without any backdraw.
Impressive!
