5 days ago, a box was shipped from Hong Kong. Today, it’s hanging off my Aspire One (well, it might be more accurate to say the Aspire is hanging off the battery) It’s still on it’s first charge, so there’s no real telling what the ultimate battery life is, but it should be a significant improvement from the original 3-cell. It added roughly 1/2 – 3/4 lb. to the weight (from 2 lbs 3 oz to 2 lbs, 12 oz)
Update: Just an FYI. The battery by itself is just shade over 1 lb. (by 1/4 oz) and it’s first full charge lasted roughly 7 hours….3 playing a video, 2.5 playing streaming music and 90 minutes running Cinebench (at which the Aspire blows.
but I didn’t think it’d be a contender for Pixars Renderfarm)
With the WiFi off and the screen dim, it’s estimated that it’d last over 10.5 hours…that’d be a LONG stint of Great American Novel writing.
