    Hi all,
    apologies if this is covered in an earlier thread, but I couldn't find it...does anyone know of a replacement 9 cell battery for the 5742 to replace the 6 cell, with the 'almost' 3 hour battery life!!
    Cheers

    Acer Aspire 5742 Battery, New Acer Aspire 5742 Battery

    First link in google guys... seriously c'mon. Don't you know what google is? Honestly though I wouldn't trust all the sellers/shops I'm looking at though. You can sort through them yourselves. Most laptops just have 6 cells and if you want longer you buy another battery.

    On top of that the price jump for just 3 more cells is ridiculous. Probably better off buying another 6 cell battery. Cant guarantee the 'performance' of the battery if it isn't bought directly from Acer either.
