    Is the W7J compatable with batteries from any other model? I'm looking to get a second battey, but I need to know the compatabilities.

    Thanks.

    No, it is not..... are you looking for the 6 (standard) or 9 cell batteries? We finally got some of the 9 cell's in last week after a month of waiting for them..... I don't think the 6's are in yet.

    What are the 9cells going for?

    Would you be able to take a picture of the W7J with the extended battery....for reference on how much it sticks out?

    Well, I don't need to take a picture to give you an exact number and a gosh darn good idea of what you're going to be looking at. The 9 cell will stick out of the unit exactly 3/4" at the furthest point of the beveled rear of the battery. This is exactly how much the 6 cells used to stick out of the S5/M5/W5...... this design just pushed the battery further under the unit so that the 6 cell sits flush on the W7....... In other words, with the 9 cell, the W7 looks like the stock 6 cell on the W5.

    How many hours can we expect from the 9 cell?

    Pure speculation here.. if the 6 cell got 3 hours that would be around 30 mins per cell, so a 9 cell battery should get you 4.5 hours?
