Many MSI models ship with multiple sub-SKUs. Use your chassis code (e.g., MS-16R3) plus BTY-M6K to confirm.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q:<\/strong> How long will it run? <br \/>\n           <strong>A:<\/strong> Actual runtime varies with GPU load, screen brightness, and background tasks. The listing notes up to ~500 charge cycles over battery life.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q:<\/strong> What do I do with the old pack? <br \/>\n           <strong>A:<\/strong> Recycle at an e-waste or battery drop-off.
