    I've just upgraded my A4000k laptop with a shiny new F3Sg, and I'm fairly pleased with it.

    I was a little disapointed with the battery life though, and I've seen on the Asus website that there are 2 battery types:
    6 cells: 4800 mAh, 53.28 Whrs
    9 cells: 7200 mAh, 79.92 Whrs
    My laptop has the 6 cell model, so I was wondering if it would be possible to upgrade it to a 9 cell battery for extended life?

    Also, with the new T7250 and Santa Rosa board, I was wondering if anyone has had much luck using RMClock for cpu management. I was using it very successfully on my A4000k, but I've not seen much battery life difference with a slight undervolt on the higher P-States on the core2duo.

    Thanks, that's definitely worth a thought. Are the 9 cell batteries the same size as the 6 cell, or do they stick out of the back / underneath the F3?
