Do yourself a favor and get the six- or even nine-cell battery. I got Melanie the nine-cell battery, and, while it does put the notebook at a bit of a tilt, it does increase the battery life by quite a lot. On Ebay I think I got it for $70. Direct from Hong Kong or Taiwan or somewhere like that. Not made by Acer, naturally but there ya go.
