Owning an Acer Aspire One means also owning the tiny little battery that comes with it. That small (albeit cute and light) battery usually gave me personally (on a good day) about two and a half hours of battery life after full charge at the most. What's the point of owning these ultra-portable computers if you're chained to an outlet?? This 6-cell replacement battery, though, is the one the manufacturer SHOULD have made standard on the Aspire One. Yes, it does make the netbook slightly heavier to hold, but not so much that it makes holding the device uncomftable. Also, yes, this 6-cell battery is larger and does "stick out" slightly from the rear of the device when inserted (the manufacturer's original battery is flush with the device); however, the design of the battery is such that it looks completely natural, especially when the netbook is opened and in use. Also, the design of this replacement battery is rounded at the back so that, when inserted in the computer, it just looks like a small, rounded handle attached to the back of the netbook...not unattractive, but certainly not as pretty as the itty-bitty original battery (with the 2-hour life span). Speaking of life span, on my first charge with this new 6-cell battery, it reported 4:58 of time remaining (nearly 5 hours!) I also use my wireless internet constantly (which discharges the battery faster) and I still have seen this new battery discharging pretty much as promised (just under 5 hours per charge). In the end, this battery works, it works well and you'll instantly go from 2.5 hours of battery to a much more workable 4 to 5 hours per charge. Plus, you'll still have your original battery as a backup for a total of almost eight hours of available battery power with normal usage. If you use your Acer Aspire One as a portable device at all, you should buy this battery.

Just got a mini notebook. Didn't realize how little time you actually have (2.5 hrs or so) with the three cell battery that comes with it. Had to keep recharging. This battery, a 6 cell, replaces mine perfectly. No problems ( charging, heat, etc) All works just fine & I use it for most the day, without recharge, but recharge time is also SHORT (1/2 hrs 45min?? est). It just works find for me. I'd recommend it and also the dealer, who was excellent in service.

I travel a lot so I bought the extra battery to have the extra juice availabe when I am away from a power source. I use this as my primary battery with the original 3-cell as my backup, which keeps about a 98% charge for days on end. It added a little extra weight but it's still manageable. A portion of the 6-cell sticks out in the rear, but it tilts the base upward so it may actually help with viewing the screen. Highly recommended.

I think the reason may be due to the specs of my laptop. I have also added some items that are draining it quicker. The overall charge life I am seeing is still in the near 4 hour mark. The shortest I have ever had it run was for 2.5 hours with a bluetooth adapter and an external CD/DVD rom drive attached being powered over the USB port.

Still a great investment and battery. Would add this product to any machine I own. The seller is great as well. I received the product quicker than expected.

It has a long life. It protrudes from the machine but not excessively and it looks and provides a natural feeling and elevation. So far I am satisfied. It is not very accurate in indicating remaining battery life bc often it says less time is remaining than the actual battery life remaining. The error is tipped towards indicating less life is remaining when in actuality life is closer to 4:30 to 5:00 hrs depending on usage. I am very satisfied with battery life duration which for these little machines it is all about the battery and portability. So far good purchase!

I only gave a four because there was no receipt with the product. Shipping was awesome it came really quick and came before the date I was told it was going to come. My netbook battery was only lasting for two and a half hours before and wouldn't last the whole day with classes at college. This battery lasts six plus hours and will come to great use in school. This would be a great gift to anyone who has a netbook especially if they're going to college. The only negative thing about this battery is it makes your netbook a few pounds heavier and the battery wont fit in the case I bought because it's fitted.

I BOUGHT THIS BATTERY TO USE IN MY ACER ONE AND IT WORKS GREAT!!! I NEEDED MORE BATTERY LIFE.

I purchased one of this for a partner at the office, he is very happy, I believe he now works 5 - 7 hours with this batt instead of 1.30hrs with the original manufacturer battery in his aspire one. he is very happy. I need now one for me.

I love this battery. It does not last more than 6 hours, but it's better than the 2.5 hour battery that comes with the Acer Netbook. The battery itself is a tad bigger than the battery that comes with the unit, but its not unattactive.
