While many consumers won’t have the option of having both the 12.1 inch notebook from Asus, the 1201N and the CULV powered UL20A to swap the batteries over, if you’re looking for longer life from your netbook, this tip may help you. One complaint Brad had with the CULV powered Asus UL20A is that, the battery wasn’t that powerful, compared to that of the more expensive UL30A. The UL20A ships with a 4400mAh battery and the UL30A, a 5600mAh battery, as does the Eee PC 1201N.

Brad discovered, that the 1201N battery, also fits in the UL20A and while it may not provide up to 10 hours battery life, it will last longer than the standard 6 hours. Two UK sites are selling the battery, as well as one US website. It’s also noted that, while the battery is interchangeable, both machines (and batteries) are of a different finish, which may bother some people.

Over at Engadget, a tipster has sent in information about a battery for a Dell Mini 11. The configuration tool page for the Dell Mini 10, lists a battery available for both the Mini 10 and 11. Apart from that however, that’s all we have on the Mini 11 but, hopefully we’ll hear more about it from Dell soon and that it’s not a typo.

We recently reported on the unboxing of their recent eBay purchase – a  9 cell battery for the Samsung NC10 netbook, not an official Samsung product however and at the time the battery hadn’t been benchmark tested. Well, the guys at UMPCFever have just posted up their benchmark test results for the 9 cell battery which they tested using Batter Eater and the results are posted below courtesy of Portable Monkey:

As you can see the 9 cell battery performs around 50% better than the standard 6 cell battery which isn’t too bad considering that the 6 cell battery has a decent length of battery life in the first place. The price of the 9 cell that was bought and tested here is $99 and can be bought here.

If we are to consider press releases and advanced information about the Inspiron Mini 9 and the Dell order page as the basis in determining what the Dell Inspiron Mini 9′s battery pack should be, then there’s no doubt the they should have the 4-cell battery.

And as Brad of Liliputing noted, advanced units of the said netbook sent to journalists for review came with the 32WHR, so it is but proper that Dell released the same for the final commercial product.

Or we might as well wait for Dell to come out with an official announcement regarding this issue before buying the Inspiron Mini 9. Just to make sure that we are getting value for our hard-earned bucks.

Thanks to  jkkmobile, the new 10 cell 13000mAh battery for the Asus Eee PC 901 netbook is in hiding. Branded the “ugliest battery ever”, the huge extended life battery is a little hurt by such a claim. To be fair though, Ive seen smaller batteries on mopeds, so JKK might just be right!

The 10 cell beast was received recently by EeeUser forum member lqbweb who promptly posted images of his new battery on the forums. The battery should apparently offer up a good 10-14 hour battery life according to JKK so if you can cope with the ‘hammerhead look’ and the extra bulk attached to your Eee PC (I would imagine the size and shape of the battery could cause a few issues especially if you are trying to balance the netbook on your lap for example) then the extended life this 10 cell battery can offer isn’t too bad.

Hands up who thinks this is the ugliest battery ever? If it does the job well, it shouldn’t matter – looks aren’t everything after all but, this battery really isn’t pretty!

Is your spare netbook battery rusting because you cannot charge it when you are on the go? No more worries, desktop chargers have hit the market to charge the spare battery when you are using the other one.

Extended batteries have been very popular among the users of netbooks because they make them truly portable by allowing long sufficiently long computing time before requiring a recharge. However, purchase of an extended/spare battery makes the original battery practically unusable because the battery cannot be charged off the machine.

Recently Cameron Sino has come up with an inexpensive solution to solve this problem by designing Desktop Battery Chargers so that the batteries can be charged off the netbooks.

Pros:
Let’s you make full use of your spare battery.
It’s light, durable and tidy.
Gives a nice docking station for your battery even when you are not charging it.
It’s pretty inexpensive.

Cons:
Does not come with its own adapter.
Available for only select models of Eee PCs.
Came too late in the market.
No choice of colour, you have to be contend with either white or black depending on the model of your Eee PC.

Price Tag:
Starting at USD 15.99 (including shipping)

Tired of only getting 3h of battery life on your Aspire One? Amazon.com have a 9-cell 6600mAh battery that could last up to 9:40 hours!!

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.

The price is almost as big as the battery, $144.99 Now only $118.97.

Any readers who have tried this battery? Please leave a comment.

There are pictures circulating on the internet currently that shows a Lenovo S10 sporting a 6 cell battery – something that Lenovo haven’t announced that they are making yet.

The images show the netbook and show that the battery is protruding from the rear of the unit just like 6 cell batteries do. We don’t think it’s a Lenovo battery and there is no firm details on where the battery came from or who is making/selling them. It could be a prototype possibly. Wherever it came from, it will hopefully be available to S10 owners soon and we will let you know as soon as we get more information on the battery and on whether it will be available officially from Lenovo worldwide.

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.
