    The high capacity 9 cell batteries are in stock and now shipping, existing orders for them have already begun shipping.

    Oooh, nice. How much additional battery life do they give?

    Been busy feeling the existing orders; I will have someone test and get back to you on that this week.

    The 6-cell battery sticks out the back a bit.
    How much do the 9-cell batteries stick out?

    The 9 cell battery sticks out about 1.5" compared to about .75" for the 6 cell.

    1.5" seems like it would look kind of strange.
    Thanks for measuring it for me though.

    So did we ever find out how much more battery life the SXS37 gets with the 9-cell over the 6-cell? This is literally, the deciding factor for me right now... it's either the P1 SXS37 or the Sony SZ7...
