HP TX2 Battery (same as tx2500??)

hey guys, just wanna say hi as im new to the forums =)

now i've owned laptops for the past i dunno, 8 years or so, and its always been a dell, but i've just switched over to a hp TX2-1015au and im loving it. i bumped the ram up to 4gig which seems to of made it a tad faster which is great to.

but the battery that this one comes with is only a 4-cell batt and living in australia doesnt help as hp australia cant get me any bigger batteries from when i asked a few weeks ago so i have to resort to places such as ebay and online battery sites.

now as i cant find a direct battery upgrade for the tx2 in australia, i was wondering if anyone new if it took the same battery as the older hp tablets like the tx2500 as i can find battery replacements for those.

as the 4-cell battery only lasts about an hour and im after the 8-cell battery pack.

i figure they would be the exact same seeing as the laptops are nearly identical apart from the screen (multitouch)

but if someone could confirm before i do this purchase that would be great

thanks

jaydee

 

The battery for tx2500 is the same for tx2. See the bottom of page 29 on the tx2500 disassembly guide and page 27 for the tx2 guide.
