    I like to have longer battery for my Asus A8JM. Yes, I'm greedy. Even though it is great laptop :) , 3hr isn't long enough for travel. I want battery life 4~6hours. How long do I have to wait for 8 cell battery to come outb :p

    I read couple of thread that current 8-cell battery isn't really a 8-cell battery. Is it true? :eek:

    No. the current battery is only 6 cells. Danny from MilestonePC confirmed that ASUS' own listing of 8 cells is wrong, hence all the resellers copying it and having 8 cell everywhere on the web.

    Not sure if ASUS will ever release an 8 cell or 9 cell battery for our A8J's :(
