After installing a new battery with larger than the original capacity in a laptop, the power management cannot, or does not, detect the new capacity, although it does detect the actual charge correctly. So the current full charge is displayed as more than the capacity. The battery monitor software does a shutdown too soon, or it shows the time available incorrectly.
The 88.8 Wh was apropriate for the original battery.
