    I have a great X83VM-X1, which I bought from Best Buy in mid-2008. It has served me well so far, but the battery is (inevitably) worn out by now. I want to buy a replacement battery, but I don't know what model and where to buy it. :confused:

    Could you help me with this? Thanks!


    (Just in case, CPU-Z thinks my notebook is a rebranded N80Vm)

    The asus estore has one but you can probably take the part number and find it cheaper somewhere else: 6-Cell Battery

    I put in the first alternate part number into froogle and got this: ASUS Notebook battery - 6-cell

    For my own machines, I've ordered batteries from provantage because I know they are a real asus reseller. You could also order it from the reseller that you bought the laptop from. Just try to avoid no-name places that sell lots of generic batteries because you will most likely end up with a copy and not a genuine asus battery.

    Is this the same battery type?

    It says AS-A8, plus a serial number that I can't match to anything. :confused:
