    Averatec sells the S270 rebadged as the Averatec 2100 series. They should be able to offer the 4 cell battery...
    http://www.averatec.com/notebooks/2100series.htm

    They do have 2 batteries listed, the cheaper one presumably should be the 4 cell asthey dont really mention the capacity.

    I have a 1057 which uses the same battery. I can't find the 4 cell in stock anywhere either. I even emailed MSI, but they said they only have the 8 cell for sale. Makes me wonder if there even IS a 4 cell.

    I picked up a black 4 cell from buy.com a couple of months ago. Unfortunately it looks like they're out of stock now.

    Thanks! ill contect them and look into it. the only problem is mine is a black s270 however, i may pick up a 2100.. i also was trying to figure out on the forum if the 2100 implements a RS480 or RS482 chipset..

    Zeros: yeah i know what you mean.. ive seen on ebay people selling these laptops (2100 and s270) with the 4cell battery included..

    bzo: im jealous :p

    BZO would you mind posting a picture of the 4 cell battery installed on the notebook? I was wondering if it sits flush with the back when installed. Thanks!

    Somehow I was afraid you were going to say that. You don't happen to have any there do you? Maybe CoffeeShark has one that he'll sell.

    Oh well, looks like I'm stuck with the 8 cell. It's cool though, no big deal.
