If you own an Acer Aspire One, you need this battery.Apr 10, 2009
By J. St Pierre Owning an Acer Aspire One means also owning the tiny little battery that comes with it. That small (albeit cute and light) battery usually gave me personally (on a good day) about two and a half hours of battery life after full charge at the most. What's the point of owning these ultra-portable computers if you're chained to an outlet?? This 6-cell replacement battery, though, is the one the manufacturer SHOULD have made standard on the Aspire One. Yes, it does make the netbook slightly heavier to hold, but not so much that it makes holding the device uncomftable. Also, yes, this 6-cell battery is larger and does "stick out" slightly from the rear of the device when inserted (the manufacturer's original battery is flush with the device); however, the design of the battery is such that it looks completely natural, especially when the netbook is opened and in use. Also, the design of this replacement battery is rounded at the back so that, when inserted in the computer, it just looks like a small, rounded handle attached to the back of the netbook...not unattractive, but certainly not as pretty as the itty-bitty original battery (with the 2-hour life span). Speaking of life span, on my first charge with this new 6-cell battery, it reported 4:58 of time remaining (nearly 5 hours!) I also use my wireless internet constantly (which discharges the battery faster) and I still have seen this new battery discharging pretty much as promised (just under 5 hours per charge). In the end, this battery works, it works well and you'll instantly go from 2.5 hours of battery to a much more workable 4 to 5 hours per charge. Plus, you'll still have your original battery as a backup for a total of almost eight hours of available battery power with normal usage. If you use your Acer Aspire One as a portable device at all, you should buy this battery.

Extra Time with mini-notebooksJan 28, 2009
By D. Mondor
"dmguy752"
Just got a mini notebook. Didn't realize how little time you actually have (2.5 hrs or so) with the three cell battery that comes with it. Had to keep recharging. This battery, a 6 cell, replaces mine perfectly. No problems ( charging, heat, etc) All works just fine & I use it for most the day, without recharge, but recharge time is also SHORT (1/2 hrs 45min?? est). It just works find for me. I'd recommend it and also the dealer, who was excellent in service.

Extra Juice, Extra Weight, Extra in the Back End, But Worth ItFeb 11, 2009
By WriterGirl
"WriterGirl"
I travel a lot so I bought the extra battery to have the extra juice availabe when I am away from a power source. I use this as my primary battery with the original 3-cell as my backup, which keeps about a 98% charge for days on end. It added a little extra weight but it's still manageable. A portion of the 6-cell sticks out in the rear, but it tilts the base upward so it may actually help with viewing the screen. Highly recommended.

Great battery, but I don't get the advertised charge timeMar 23, 2009
By Russell T. Ware I think the reason may be due to the specs of my laptop. I have also added some items that are draining it quicker. The overall charge life I am seeing is still in the near 4 hour mark. The shortest I have ever had it run was for 2.5 hours with a bluetooth adapter and an external CD/DVD rom drive attached being powered over the USB port.
Still a great investment and battery. Would add this product to any machine I own. The seller is great as well. I received the product quicker than expected.

Good battery.May 09, 2011
By New Army Wife It has a long life. It protrudes from the machine but not excessively and it looks and provides a natural feeling and elevation. So far I am satisfied. It is not very accurate in indicating remaining battery life bc often it says less time is remaining than the actual battery life remaining. The error is tipped towards indicating less life is remaining when in actuality life is closer to 4:30 to 5:00 hrs depending on usage. I am very satisfied with battery life duration which for these little machines it is all about the battery and portability. So far good purchase!
