    I just purchased the MSI GT725-075US from NewEgg. I noticed it comes with a 9 cell battery that protrudes from the rear of the system. Other versions of the GT725 come with a 6 cell battery that is flush with the rear of the system.

    Where can I purchase the flush-mounted 6 cell battery? I checked MSI's site and did some web searches for it. I found one seller who claimed to have it but the picture wasnt accurate, so I wonder if its the right product.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    you should buy a 6 cell use it in the notebook when plugged in and only charge the 9 cell when you need the battery life, no need to kill the 9 cell by keeping it plugged in all day :p
