    The WXGA ships with the 6cell battery which last 2-3 hours, i am sure its closer to 2 especially since I will be gaming on it so I want to get a spare battery, the thing is I dont know if I should go for the 6 cell or for 30 bucks more get the 9cell, also is it worth it to get an extra battery?

    thanks

    I wouldn't buy the extra battery unless you needed it. Batteries waste away while they're not in use. Check the battery thread for more information.

    It takes weeks to months before it even begins to drain away, It's very worth it if you plan on using it unplugged for a long time! But as you probebly know, you'll have to atleast put the laptop into hibernation mode before swapping batteries.

    Does anyon know where I could get a cheaper battery than the one offered by sager, the 6cell is 98 and the 9cell 30 more, I want an extra battery because I will be taking the pc overseas and I dont want to be forced to buy another laptop battery way overpriced in 6 months.


    thanks
