    Hi everyone, I need some advice on a new battery. I have a 4 year old VGN-FE41S laptop. Its a great laptop but I only get about 20 mins battery life out of it. Im wanting to get a new high capacity battery - I was looking at purchasing this one:

    I was wondering if anyone has experience of using these 3rd party batteries, and how much battery life I can realistically expect.

    Thanks.

    For other peoples reference, I ended up buying an extended battery from amazon.

    Its a little bigger and sticks out of the back, but I was surprised at how light it was. It worked fine once I disabled the ISB Utility in startup. I get around 2.5 hours of battery life, which is a huge improvement over the 20 mins I was getting before.
