    Hi there.

    I am changing my battery, because it lasts only 40 minutes(when surfing) on 50% screen brightness.. ***.
    My battery is 6cell, product was made by Arima co.
    I have an idea to just get me 9cell, since i have 17'' laptop.

    Since I have problem to find the battery from that company on eBay, i am asking if I can use any other battery, that is not from Arima?

    Are battery sizes the same, or I need to buy battery with noname, refurbished or something that will fit into my laptop?

    my model is Arima W812UI1, but cannot find anything =/

    thanks in advance,
    nuke
