brought product in December to use with Acer Netbook, original battery power was 6 hours, but as batteries do slowly die, now getting 4 hours and 43 minutes, still better than 2 hours. granted is 9 cell battery, still better for cost of item and time lasting than OEM model that was over $100 at [...], or about 1/3 of cost of a new computer. still liking after 6 months of use. -- 4.5 hours of use when fully charged
Okay, can I just say it's so nice NOT to have to worry about being able to stay active if my flight is delayed unless I can grab the ONLY outlet available in the boarding area before throngs of other users do. Like Night and DAy. I am truly functional now. And the added bonus, for those who like a little elevation of keyboard, is that it does just that...raises the back just enough to adjust the ergonomics of the keyboard. Battery "lives" up to the expectations listed. The price on Amazon beat any other avenue I investigated including New Egg. Get it if you need it. And get it here! -- HQRP Replacement 9 Cell for Acer Aspire One Netbook
I have no complaints about my new 9-cell battery! It works really well and lasts for over six hours! Just what I needed!
I would for sure recommend the purchase of this item if you want to extend the runtime on your Acer Netbook and is looking for a good deal! -- Great!!!
I have an aspire one and obviously I wanted a longer battery life so I got this.
Its large, and as the other reviewers mentioned adds weight/lifts up the back. I really don't mind. The sides of it aren't flush with the rest of the laptop.
My large concern was "is this gigantic 3rd party battery going to catch fire and explode?" So far, no :D
Seriously though, its not UL tested (then again, neither is the acer battery that came with my computer) unlike bateries for my old HP laptop. This one has an FCC and CE stamp but apparently those don't necessarily indicate safety against product failure. It should be okay though- as far as the build quality its a good duty plastic and it doesn't get hot. I'm not an electronics safety expert, but I'm not as concerned as before making the purchase.
Despite being kind of large, my other concern was "can I take it on an airplane." There are prohibited batteries according to the TSA. According to the info on the back of the battery, it gets a little over 73 watt hours which is still below the 100 watt hour point where things get a little shaky when you're flying. I've traveled with it once so far and it wasn't an issue.
So, with those concerns out of the way- its a great battery. I usually get over 6:30 hours with wifi on and I've been using it occasionally over a couple of months. I haven't tried watching an entire dvd movie while using the battery. However the battery meter on XP estimates that I should get over 4 hours when I'm using my usb powered dvd drive and watching a dvd ("battery bar says 6 hours")- I don't know which is more correct but I haven't had the need to give this a reality test.
-- Good things come in a .....big package
I purchased this battery to extend the runtime on my new Acer netbook. WOW is all I can say! I went from a mere 2.5hrs to over 6! (I still have not gone to a warning level with it. I think 6 is GREAT!)
I was a little uncertain before I bought it - the Acer battery (on the Acer website) made me a little concerned that any battery I bought would just as likely not fit in the battery compartment.
This one slipped right in. Mind you it does protrude out the back a bit, and lifts the back edge of the computer, but hey, where would you put the extra cells if you did not grow the foot print a bit.
This is a great battery and a great deal! I heartily recommend it for anyone who owns an Acer Aspire One netbook. -- Great Battery - Great Deal
