    they are not all the same. if the voltage et al matches, you're ok. just buy one from Acer directly.

    that's pretty weak.

    you should try to find the part # for a replacement. if you had the actual battery in front of you, you could just do a visual match for form factor and then verify the voltage.

    i would say, get the part # from Acer (or google), then look up online parts stores of if you have a Fry's or similar "electronics" store in your area, just buy one there (Radio Shack might even have them).
