    I recently bought the GX730. I know it is an older model, but for $650 bucks, it had the best specs for the price. I know it is a monster on the battery...but I didnt buy it for battery life. However, I am going on vacation next month, and want to use it for movies on the plane for my small children. I found that on economy battery with Wifi turned off, I get 1.5 hours of DVD time. Anyone with kids knows that wont cut it on a 4 hour flight. I was looking for a 9 cell battery that is compatible with my laptop. The current battery is a BTY-M67. The only batteries I have found are in Hong Kong on ebay. I didn't know if anyone could hook me up with a site (preferably in USA) that I could find a compatible battery. Thanks.

    Thanks! That is great help. Anyone know of any cheaper batteries? On ebay (once again ni Hong Kong...but free shipping) they run around 75-85 dollars). Thanks
