    I'm just.. really interested. It'd be nice if A8SJ had 9 cells to boost the battery life to around 3h30m..

    I believe the F3 series does, but only in Australia.

    Not sure... but you could always pick up a spare 6 cell if you want more battery life.

    It's very inadvisable to do as stated in the Battery Guide. Unless you always take advantage of both the batteries, you will be losing money because of the battery wear caused by aging of the battery.

    I have a spare 9 cell lying around from my F3Jp, so that's one. (Too bad I don't have a laptop to put it into... :p)

    Someone will always need a spare (me included). Does V1S and V2S batteries mix with eachother?
