    I'm going to be going traveling soon and want to bring my laptop. I figured if I got a 6 cell battery instead of the 9 cell I already have then it will cut down how much weight I have to carry. I had a look on ebay but its a total mess where most sellers don't state if its even a large or small battery? Anyone got any ideas where to get one?

    dell or ebay, i was in the same boat a while back.

    when it came down to it, i passed, and just took the 9cell. its not that much heavier, and it didnt cost me additional for another battery.

    I have one for sale if you are interested. I bought both but only use the 9 Cell. THis one is basically brand new.

    I bought both of them too, but only uses the 6 cell for backup, if on a long plane trip. Wish I bought two 9 cells as the weight difference is minor compared to the performance imo.

    Yeah actually I finally got to hold and feel the weight of a friends m1210 witha 6 cell and the weight is negligible, maybe only a few ounces. I'll probably just stick with my 9 cell. Cheers guys
