    I want to buy an extended battery for my z33ae, but the 9-cell sticks out too far. I've heard that the 6 cells for the s5, m5, and w5 series all work for the z33a. Anyone know if thats true?

    I kinda want to know about the cross compatibility of Asus batteries as well, I have 2 9-cells from a Z80k from a while back and wonder if they will still work if I get a new Asus.

    Well, shouldnt the m5 and s5 series work as well? After all, the z33a is basically the exact same thing as the m5a. Also, that w5f battery is listed as 3600 mah, while the m5a 6 cell is a 4400 mah battery. Does that matter?

    I was thinking about buying a cheap one on ebay. I'm a little bit worried about the quality though.
