I am looking for a place to buy replacement batter for 4820TG, My understanding is that the 4820T, 3820T and 3820TG all have the same type of battery. Where can the 6 cell 66mah battery and the 9 cell 99mah battery be bought? I cant find a place anywhere, Please help.

Just give us a hint, in which country you life.
But the battery seems not to be at stock at the moment. -

Have you tried calling Acer Service Center in Texas? They might be able to order one for you. The battery you show in your link looks nothing like the original 9 cell.

I have spoken to them in the past and they are very helpful. I'm not in my office today so I can't dig up the number for you.

Just be a nice person
The other few MBs are taken for the intel grahic card. -
It seems not to be a bad one. Buy one and read out the real capacity, if it really 6000mAh the battery will reach a runtime nearly to the original one.
The difference between 6000mAh and 6200mAh less than 10%.

Thank you. Actually I googled a lot, but I found mainly memory holes info and memory remaping

What is your charge-rate?
I have a 6 cell battery and a 60W charger, but it only charge at 18-19 Watts, so it uses more than 3 hours

First North American Acer 3820TG on life support:
I spent the better part of my afternoon at a site investigation with an environmental scientist, drawing groundwater samples from monitoring wells at a contaminated site. I had my 3820TG in my briefcase, which was in the consultant's trunk along with about 30 1 QT samples of contaminated groundwater. A piece of heavy equipment hit the car, crushing a part of the trunk and smashing many of the sample bottles. My briefcase was sitting in about 8" of contaminated water when I got to it.
Before I could even touch it, it had to be decontaminated with de-ionized water (yes - soaked with water) and then it could be removed from the smashed trunk and put into a plastic bag. I immediately rushed it over to my company's tech support who took it out and grimmaced. The 3820TG had some tiny chemical/solvent burns on the case but was dripping water when it was removed from the bag. My briefcase and everything in it was trashed.
The only test he could do in the short run was test the battery after removing it, which was completely discharged. A bad sign I am told. The notebook is laying open on the tech's workbench drying out. I am told that the prognosis is not good. He did, however, compliment me on the backlit KB/switch installation.
The good news is that it might be covered by my company's casualty policy which covers up to $10K worth of damaged field equipment. I'm waiting to hear from the insurance adjuster if they consider a portable laptop as field equipment.
I have already sent Computeruniverse an email to see if there is any way to get a replacement unit from them. I would like a UMT model if I can get it but I need it sent as soon as possible. Hopefully, I'll hear from them tomorrow.
If not, I will probably order from PChome right away. Luckily, I am a fanatic for backing up my system and no data was lost. I don't even want to think about the hours of work that I have put into that unit that are probalby down the drain. Oh well! At least nobody was hurt and the computer is replaceable and it is likely covered by my company's insurance. Thank God I still have my 1410T as a backup and the SD card, with all of my firm's active documents was not in the Acer at the time of the accident (it was in the 1410T which I was using to record sampling locations).

OH ... Just_a_nick, I would not worry about checking up on that speaker anymore.
-
Oh no! Weren't you kidding yesterday that you're waiting to drop it or for somebody to steal it... since all work was done?
-
Ironic isn't it.

S h i t happens ...
Have fun and build a new "Bronsky 3820TG". -
Holy Crap

Ugh... what rotten luck. Hope you get a new one soon. Ci7 maybe?
Also tell the insurance company, that since your model was a custom-built-ome-of-a-kind version its worth more

Using that PCIe USB3 card I do have an idea of replacing my two left side usb2 ports for usb3 ports However since I still use my built-in internal 3g modem I will hold off on such a mod for now. But its a funture planned mod, unless Acer release a USB3 updated model of the timelineX

Something for the second Mini PCI-e port

This kind is stuff always happens to me. My old MGB wound up on the bottom of the Avalon Bay about 3 weeks after I finished a frame-up restoration.
Just got off the phone with the Tech. He thinks that the unit may not be so dead afterall. He says that, to the extent that he can check, the motherboard looks decent but has still has not put any power on the board. I'm crossing my fingers. Although he tells me the water did get in the Acer, he does not think that it got in to any appreciable degree - amazing!
The Acer was in the center pocket of a 3 pocket briefcase and it looks like it may have protected it better than I though. I am really amazed as I still have the image in my head of them spraying my briefcase with decontaminating water.
In hindsight, I think the portability of the 3820TG made me way to overconfident in taking it everywhere I went. Everytime I left the office, I took it in my briefcase. I was carrying it in a leather briefcase out to jobsites 2 or 3 days a week.
Way back in this thread, I had originally suggested that I was going to get an aluminum briefcase to carry the notebook in. I think the Acer would have been untouched in a Haliburton ultrathin. All of the other engineering equipment on the sites are carried in protective haliburton cases. Any replacement unit will get that protection.
So, at the moment, I'm a bit torn. I don't know whether to wait to see what the story is with my unit or just order a unit from PCHome. Although my 1410T has been a lifesaver, it is not a replacement for the 3820TG, even for a short time. If any parts are needed for the 3820TG, I don't think they are going to be readily available if anything is wrong. Who knows Just_a_Nick, I might be able to use that replacement speaker afterall. I can always sell the replacement notebook if mine is okay. I could just keep it stock for now and register it for a warranty when I get it. Sounds like a plan.
