Cingular Go Phone: Acer - Notebook battery - 1 x lithium ion 6-cell 5200 mAh Review

My Acer netbook was a very tough thing to live with with its paltry OE 3-cell battery. Its lack of meaningful charge life made portable life with the Acer hardly portable at all; it was too often tied to some power adapter either to 120v or to the car battery just to give the little laptop enough juice for reasonable usability.

That all changed when the cursed Panasonic-sourced 3-cell gladly died after 6 months and I ordered this OE 6-cell instead. FINALLY, the little Acer was powerful enough to be untethered with any amount of confidence that the netbook will have the power to back me. While no Li-ion solution can ever be completely free from a wall wart or other charging source, this battery does make mobility with my netbook incredibly more fulfilling. I'm no longer having to worry about the battery level after only an hour or so of use; for instance, I can feel confident in using the Acer as a portable companion with my Nikon D300, something that was previously oh so tenuous when I was too far away from my car or other power source. And of course I can be more free to leave the power adapter behind when I'm out and about.

While there are cheaper 3rd-party cells around, I chose the OE option if only because of piece-of-mind with possible compatibility issues. Acer now ships 6-cell batteries (presumably this one) as standard with their netbooks; that's a good enough endorsement for me.
