The 6 cell battery version of the HP Mini Note 2140 has been photographed by HP 2133 Guide, as well as comparison pictures of the 3 cell model. The 3 cell model is as you’d expect, sleek, slim and sexy. The 3 cell battery only runs for about 4 hours, where as the 6 cell battery can considerable increase this time by more than twice as much. Liliputing reports that the 6 cell can run for 10 hours if the 2140 has an SSD, but is reduced to 8.5 hours with a HDD instead, but either option provides more battery life.

Unfortunately the extra life comes at the costs of it’s look. With the 6 cell battery in place, the 2140 is no longer as sleek or slim, but rather bulks the netbook up and adds a bit of weight to the netbook.  Fortunately though, it isn’t too unsightly unlike other increased battery life batteries and more than makes up for the extra bulk with the extra hours unplugged usage.

Those of you using the Gigabyte M912 convertible netbook will be glad to find out about its new 6-cell battery, shown here rearing its ugly head/butt inserted in a working unit. There’s no info on how long the battery lasts on a single charge, but it’s most likely more than the standard 3 hours one can achieve from bundled 3-cell batteries. It goes for only 60 euros a piece. If you’ve ever wanted to get one in the past, now’s your chance.

If you’ve been expecting the HP Mini 1000 6-cell battery to become available for quite a while now, you’ll be glad to know that this power-extending accessory is now available, albeit unofficially. What we mean is, a 6-Cell battery that’s not officially stated as for the HP Mini 1000 can be bought directly from HP’s web site, and it works, as confirmed by one forum poster who has probably used the battery himself. This 6-Cell battery is said to be for the “HP Mini 1000 CTO PC” but apparently those last few letters don’t make a difference and this battery will indeed work with models like the HP Mini 1000. It is in stock and costs $153.90 plus $11.25 for standard shipping. Check out our source below for more details.
