    I saw that, but mine is a 7" and as fair as I could find, they are just replacing the 9" screen batteries.

    Just in case I sent them an e-mail.

    Mine is the 4G, but not the Surf version.

    I'll try also to talk to the person that sold it to me.

    Do you have the link for the seller that you bought the 10400mah battery?

    You can probably upgrade the battery yourself :p I saw a guide on how to upgrade a dell battery, if its made the same way you can put your own standard cells inside of it for less than 1/2 the cost of a regular battery.

    I would only do this if you cant get the free upgrade from asus.

    x3baddad,

    Does it get too high with the 10400mah? How long does it stay on?


    I'm in doubt if I choose a 10400 or 6600.
