    I have an Acer AO 721. Nice netbook except for one thing -- it comes stock with a relatively wimpy 4400mAh battery. I was curious if anybody here has sucessfully found a higher capacity battery (aftermarket or OEM) that works on the 721. For example, I wonder if something like the 5800mAh batteries found on the Acer 1830 would work on the 721 ... although I notice the Acer 4400mAh battery is 11.1 volts while the 5800mAh ones tend to be 10.8 volts (if that matters)... Thanks for any feedback! :)

    For those of you interested, the Acer 6-Cell Li-Ion 5800mAh Battery, model: AK.006BT.087
    works great on the Acer 721. It can be purchased from the Acer website. Cost is about $60 plus delivery and taxes.
