91Mobiles reports that Xiaomi’s sub-brand Poco might launch its first-ever laptop in India. According to reliable tipster Mukul Sharma, A Redmi G series laptop battery just passed certification by the Indian Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). Hence, the company may be planning to release its notebooks soon.

Based on the image shared by a tipster, the BIS database shows a Redmi G series laptop battery with the model number G16B01W. However, it bears a POCO branding. It is a 3,620mAh cell (15.2V, 55.02Wh) and was designed to be a replacement battery for the Redmi G and Redmi G Gaming laptops.
