Sager 5750 2nd Battery

I've looked through many of the various Sager 5750 vendors searching for a modular battery that can be swapped for the optical drive. I keep running into the option of "Second/Spare 8-Cell Battery(Replaces Main)", and the user manual specifies the modular bay is suitable for 6-cell batteries. Does anyone know where to get a modular 6-cell battery for the 5750/60 or how long it would increase battery life?

Thanks,

Andrew

 

you can order the battery through most of the Clevo Resellers, just contact them, because the modular battery is going to be a "special order".

 

The NP5750 does not support a battery in the modular bay. The Sager NP5710 did, but none of the other models in this series will.

The reason is that battery is not strong enough to keep the video cards in the NP5720, NP5750 or NP5760 stable.

 

According to the user manual the 2nd battery is not compatible with an Nvidia graphics card because of the power requirements, but it said nothing of ATI. Did they just miss a warning about the ATI x1600 too?

 

Manuals are printed way before the release of any laptop, and certainly before any "refresh" of a series (e.g. the 5710 going to the 5750, and the 5720 going to the 5760) so it isn't so much that they missed the warning, but that the X700 was in the 5710 and that worked, but when it went to the 5750 with the X1600 it no longer did.

They aren't going to re-print the manual for that detail. That is what you rely on your dealer for...to provide those little nuance differences in the models.
