Unhappy Where to buy a 6-Cell battery? - 02-12-2009, 08:17 PM

Hello Everyone,

Though I've been able to squeeze a little over 2hrs out of my mini I'd really like to get my hands on a 6-cell. Any ideas on where to purchase one (besides dell of course, I'd rather no pay 1/3 of the price of the laptop)? This is the first time I haven't seen a battery on eBay!

Thank you

Please, someone, give me a photo of Dell Mini 12 with original 6-cell battery. Does it higher of 4-cell battery?

The 6 cell gives the computer a slight rear-end but it turns into a grip so its ok. I'd like to get myself a 3-cell myself but seeing that they cost $149, as they are new (hence no ebay :cry: ) I'll stick with my long battery life.

Same with me. And I'm thinking is there any laptop sleeve for the 6-cell mini 12?

I haven't seen any commercially sold sleeves yet, but from my own exploring find that most zippered binders and hold the mini 12.

You have a 6 cell and want a 3 cell? If so, I could order a Mini 12 with a 3 cell from the outlet and we could battery swap maybe :P

I see cheap 6-cells(I think the Australian one is but I'd ask the seller), don't forget to use live.com for your search then type ps3 in the search and click the ebay sponsor link for cashback and purchase it with BIN.

READY SET GO!

Hi!

Right now I search for a 6 cell battery on eBay and can not understand one thing: do we have a two different 6 cell batteries for Mini 12? One with 48 Wh capacity and other with 56 Wh? How to identify it correctly when eBay seller give the same part number for all kind of batteries?
Thanks for your opinion!
