Additional 16-Cell Battery Question

Thread Starter 
I was just looking at the extra battery that I ordered with my i9100 which is supposed to be a 138 WHr 16-Cell Battery. I'm not too sure if this is the 16-cell battery or not. On the actual battery it says:

Rechargeable Li-ion Battery
Rating: 14.8V 4400 mAH
Type C2174
Capacity 66WH
After assembly of F1244 and C2174, total Capacity is 8.8 Ah.

I don't see any reference on it being a 138WHr 16-Cell Battery.
Could someone with one of these secondary batteries confirm if they have similar specs on their battery or perhaps give me a brief crash course on voltages/amps/laptop batteries. (Sorry, I haven't taken any electricity courses for the last 3 years) I just wanna make sure the $180 that I spent on this battery is getting me what I wanted.

If you look closely at it you'll see that it is two 66WH batteries put together. It's two 8 cell batteries stacked. At least that's how mine is.

Hello - Yay this is my first posting...Anyways...

I just took a look at my extra battery and it says the exact same thing. I'm sure it's the right thing but it just doesn't word it like that...am I right?

Anyone else can comment..

hmmm... I think what is printed on the battery are the specs for an 8-cell battery, and we're just supposed to multiply it by 2 to get the 16-cell specs. This is what I figured in the first place, but it doesn't say anywhere that it's a 2 X 8-cell battery. Can anyone confirm?

i returned mine thinking it wasnt one also...i have the right one.....and has the same info....if you look at it and compare it to the original one with the subwoofer.....the original one is one piece...the 132WHr one seems like 2 parts are screwed together and if you notice...there is a wavy line where the 2 parts join.....2 parts sitting on top of each other...held together by screws.
