replacing a battery in the Lenovo Ideapad 3

I'm replacing the battery for a Lenovo Ideapad 3. The label fine print seems to show the model is 15IML05. When I search for that part in an online marketplace 2 batteries show up. 45 Wh battery 5B10X02602 35 Wh battery 5B10W67165 I bought the 45Wh battery. Not only can it hold more charge (Watt-hours) but to my surprise it has a different shape and is bigger than the original which is the 35Wh battery. The screw holes on the bigger battery line up with holes on the laptop if I remove an SSD caddy. This suggests to me that the M.2 card is the standard SSD and the caddy is for an expansion driv
