    Hi! I'm thinking to purchase a gs43vr but that 61wh battery is not very good IMO

    Do you know if a battery upgrade could be possible in this model? I could sacrifice HDD for a bigger battery. do you have links for bigger compatible batteries?

    Nicely done. Are you going to sell the battery? Or keep it as spare part?

    I'm still searching infos before purchansig this laptop. BTY-M47 should be a 3cells battery so I need a 4cells battery with more or less 80Wh/85Wh. :)
    That is possible in a Dell 9550

    do you know if a 80Wh/85Wh msi gs40 battery exists?
    that 61Wh battery has a 260 minutes battery life so a 80Wh could have 340 minutes battery life (+30%) and a 85Wh could have a 360 minutes battery life (+38%)

    I haven't seen one yet. If it's not something MSI has then it may not be out there unless it's also shared by other companies then there's a possibility. :)
