    Is there a slim battery that will fit in the p7811 fx? I don't like how the stock battery sticks out and i rarely use battery power, so wondering if there was a slim battery. Less battery life is fine. I don't want to go without a battery though. Often need a short charge for work/home trip.

    Thanks,
    Daws

    Thanks for the link. Are the dimensions smaller on that one? Its hard to tell from the picture. Does anyone have this? How much less does it stick out the back?

    Thanks,
    Daws

    What the 7811 comes with is a 9cell battery. What is sticking out of that unit is those 3 extra cells. I would though call the company for a confirmation.

    i can't see it being worthwhile but hey ur pockets are obviously slightly deeper than mine to almost always use it plugged in (not moved) and want waste $$$ on a smaller battery... i would just take the 9 cell out if it bugged me that much and just pop it back in on the chance i may use battery...
