    Hey all, I just purchased a Sony vaio NR160 and upgraded the ram to 2gb at time of purchase. I am less than happy with the battery life 2hrs with WIFI on. I really dont want to spend 300 dollars on a high capacity battery from sony. Are there any other options? Im looking on ebay and a lot of the batteries for the NR a lot of them look similar to mine but none of them same compatible with the NR series, Which ones are?
    This is the laptop i purchased.

    The one from the ebay auction just looks like a flipped over version of the one from the sony website. Maybe im just seeing things wrong. The ebay auction says it works for the N11s? Is this the same as the NR series?


    Ah looking more into it i need the BP(L/S)9 battery. Will any others fit?
