    you can buy them from PROPortable.com or powernotebooks.com. there are more resellers that have them, but those are the ones that i can think of.

    All resellers should have em in stock, if not, they can easily order it for you.

    Most of the retailer's listed in this forums Sticky carry Asus accessories...or could easily order anything in for you if they don't.

    Do you mean the standard battery or the optical bay battery? I'm 99% sure that any W3V Battery's are compatible with the W3J. That 1% comes down to colour and capacity, but I'm almost sure they're the exact same. :)

    Darn, I can't believe your post went in before mine Coriolis, you're always too fast at this hour!!!

    Well I looked at proportable and didnt see them and agearnotebooks doesnt have them listed. Maybe its because the W3V battery is compatible but
    I havent seen a "W3J" battery

    The Retailer's are listed in the FAQ sticky, the one listed as for newbies. Or you could check the official "where to buy" list on the Asus global website as well. (Especially If you're outside North America.) :)

    Yeah, like I said, the only difference would be in the colour...and possibly a slight capacity difference, but the W3V battery's are definitely compatible with the W3J's. :)

    Actually, I got an e-mail from Justin at PROPortable that the W3J batteries are different than the W3Vs. That is why anyone who ordered extra W3J batteries with their W3J won't get them with the computer. They look the same, but there were minor modifications. They may still be compatible, but they are different.
