    Has anyone found or purchased an 8 or 9 cell battery for the 7720, and if so what and where?

    Or will any battery made for a 17r work?

    Wouldn't mind some feedback on this myself. As it stands I'll have mine on Monday, so I'll be able to provide some concrete information then.

    Looking forward to this... once you get your battery, please tell us if you get any messages from the bios saying the battery is incompatible and if the laptop performs on lower performance, i tried another dell battery that is a perfect match (original dell battery, but from a lattitude 5520, same battery, 6-cell, different part number, 60whr instead of 48...) but with this battery i am getting bios information on boot that battery is incompatible, not made for this laptop and that my laptop will perform less... whatever... it's a dell original battery, but just not the same part number...

    So i am wondering about 3rd party batteries...
