Acer Aspire One – From 2 to 9 hours battery life

The one thing I dislike about my Acer Aspire One Netbook is the anaemic battery life.  My unit came with a 3-Cell 2200mAh battery and all I could get was 2 to 2 1/2 hours out of it so I bought a new 9-Cell 7800mAh battery on eBay and now look at this: more than 9 hours!!!

Of course the new battery is much larger then the original one. [Edit: 434g instead of 162g]

The way the battery is made, it tilts the Netbook just a little bit.  You can also use the battery to hold the Netbook firmly.

Nice ! But how much does it weight ? The Netbook by itself is not that heavy, doesn't that make it bulkier ?

Works well, weighs about a 2lbs. Keep the 3 cell, and use the battery which fits the situation. Holding on to battery means the retaining lugs are secure, not there not on mine!

Bought a 9 cell battery, VERY immpressed by it. I was worrying about the size/weight too, but its really not bad at all!

Anyone who has an Aspire One should get one!
