Hi MDD, I would like to have this upgrade for my mini 9. But before I place order, I want to know this batch of batteries is trouble free. I am from malaysia, and RMA shipping is going to burn a big hole in my pocket. I hope you understand my concern.

Thanks.

Awesome. I'm also hoping that this is trouble-free, though I'm significantly closer than Malaysia.

I just received mine today; 1 1/2 days of travel time to Canada...very nice!

The battery is still showing 99% charge after about 1 1/2 hrs of charging. It started at 87% and quickly shot up to 99% (in about 1/2hr).

Dell's Battery Meter doesn't seem to work and pressing fn+3 crashes the utility.

Once the battery is charged, I'll let you know how long it lasts. The angle created by the battery bulge isn't that bad. I was expecting a lot worse.

Hey bro... nice to hear your reply. Why not download this utility call batterybar from Osiris Development - BatteryBar, the most accurate battery meter for Windows. It gives you more info than the standard windows one. Can also take this opportunity to check whether it works for both the battery and the program.

Yep it works.

So far I'm down to 81% and have been browsing quite extensively (wireless), running VS2010, installing software, screen brightness 2/16 (?), etc for about 2hr 30min. Running Win7 Pro.

So far the Mini has successfully suspended itself and hibernated. No issues waking it up.

Quite happy so far.

As for BIOS version, I'm still running A04.

Managed to get 4 1/2 hours with 55% charge left.

Sounds good to me... Hv u check the battery wear status on battery bar software?
