    I am wondering if anyone on the forum has an ACER Iconia 6120? I own one and as much as I like it, the one thing that is very weak about the design is its 4 cell battery which yields at best 1 hr 45 min with everything toned down.

    Its 6 months old, still under warranty and in perfect condition. Shortly after purchasing it, I upgraded to 8Gb RAM, 750Gb HDD 7200RPM, and MS Windows 7 Ultimate 64 from its stock 4Gb RAM, 640Gb HDD 5400RPM, and MS Win 7 Home.

    I also looked up similar Acer laptops that use the same model battery and found an 8cell that had the same locking and connector mounts (originally would not fit it until I dremeled out a channel and resealed it). It worked with this battery until it drained, but would not recharge. I deleted the device manager list for microsoft battery conditioner module and it reinstalled automatically, but still does not charge. If this was to work, it would give it approx. 5-7 hrs battery life depending on power settings.

    Does anyone have any ideas? Do I have to change the ac adapter as well? It is the standard one that came with it, but do I need to get a higher wattage model? Any help appreciated, this touchbook is an excellent mobile tool for me but unless I can improve battery performance it limits my capabilities.
