As you can see on the picture it is really big and ugly, but looks Isn’t everything.

According to Amazon.com the battery could last up to a whopping 9 hours and 40 minutes when under minimum load and WI-FI off, so I guess that in real life this means around 6h.

9-cell battery for Acer aspire one

We’ve already reported about some third party netbook battery pack which offers extended hours of use for netbooks which are longer than your standard battery pack. Now, guys over at the MSI Wind Forum have spotted that the 9-cell battery we reported not so long ago is already available for sale. The battery pack was tested to give 7.3 hours of usage for the MSI Wind, and that’s under strenous usage with the WiFi switched on. Sounds promising right?

But wait till you hear about the price. Said battery pack which is available at the UK channel of eBay was selling for a whooping $115! Aside from the expensive price, the battery pack is too bulky that it might no give your netbook a good look.

If you need longer hours of usage for you netbook, this might be a good replacement battery pack for you. That is of course if you don’t mind the high price.

Long Battery Life for your Netbook Doesn’t Comes Cheap

EeePCNews.de have recently received pictures of a prototype 9 cell battery. The 9 cell battery is currently being designed for the MSI Wind, which currently comes with a 3 or 6 cell battery.

The 9 cell batteries haven’t been priced yet but they’re expected to be available from November. There’s also no official word about the weight of the 9 cell battery, or how long the battery will last. The predicted battery life is 9-10 hours which is a great improvement over the 5-6 hours of a 6 cell battery.
