    I just bought a 7200 mAh battery 9 cell from ebay. It dont last a month when the perfomance drop more than a half. So Im looking for a good batt that dont go dead so easily. This batt was great for the first days. It last about 4 hours in high perfomance playing and 6 in normal use. Now it last 1 1/2 hour playing or less. :mad:

    Damn that is pretty poor. Doesn't it come with a 1 year warranty?

    yeah, but it come here from Hong Kong and I dont want to discuss the warranty from a place that is too far. I will buy it from US next time. Also the price is very cheap the battery that I bought cost $80 compared to $250 original.

    My dad bought a 3rd party battery for his Acer laptop, also from hong kong, also cheap, and it was broken. It wouldn't load for more then 80%! He sent a complaint email and they were very friendly. He had to pay for shipping the battery back to Hong Kong but he received a working one 2 weeks later.

    Before giving up, just send an email to the seller, you might get lucky.
