    Was just wondering where I could purchase a 6 cell Z33a battery in North America (preferably in Canada)?

    *I realize that the 6 cell was never officially released in NA*

    Thanks

    It doesn't exist in North America - if you want a 6 cell that will fit and will work with the system, you must get the 6 cell W5a battery. It's the same battery minus the sexy pinstripes that are on the Z33a battery...... but if you want a 6 cell and not a 9 cell.. that is what you have to get. I personally guarentee it'll work properly.

    Would that also mean that the battery will be white compared to the Z33a's black colour?

    Also, does the Z33a exist in Asia, and if so, would a 6 cell be obtainable overseas?

    Thanks again.

    No... we've got batteries for the black model, you just have to select the right one:

    You're better getting this one. Not that I really care where you go, but the only difference is the pinstripe and to find the battery overseas is going to involve a lot more shipping and duties (although on something of this cost duties really can't be that much).
