    I currently have a 9-cell battery that does not suit my needs (I need to carry the computer regularly and in a backpack, rather than leaving it on my desk or carrying it in a messenger bag).

    If anyone currently has a 6-cell and is considering buying a 9-cell, I have a proposal: If you can go without your battery for a couple of days, we could swap batteries by mail. Depending on our proximity, we could most likely find a cheap, safe, quick mailing method. Given the $40 difference in the cost of the batteries, I'm hoping the other party will cover the shipping (which would, of course, be well under that cost).

    If you're interested, send me a personal message, and we can make the exchange quickly.

    Thanks

    Thought I'd give this a bump.

    Not really, drops the weight by almost an entire pound, and some laptops couldn't be configured without it. Some people just dont like the 9 cell.

    Well, it's definitely not a scam. I haven't posted in a while, but I'm a well-established member of this forum, with a number of members who can vouch for my character to some degree. I also have a 100% positive feedback rating on eBay as a seller (same username).

    To be honest, I had given up on this and have since bought a 6-cell. However, if anyone is interested, I still have the battery. It's basically brand new, and I'd still be willing to make the trade. Just let me know.

    Edit: I'd pay for my outgoing shipping. If anyone knows whether or not this is the same battery as that used by the Z61, I'd be interested to know; if so, I'd be fine trading for the Z61's 6-cell, as well.

    Cheers.
