3 cell vs 6 cell battery for Netbook

I am going to buy a Netbook in the next couple weeks and had a question about the difference betwween the 6 cell and 3 cell lithium battery. Things like weight and runtime especially.
Thanks to all who reply.

The weight difference between different size Netbook batteries depends on the model. And also whether it is from a third party vendor which presents other issues (may not fit as well, and may not deliver advertised battery life0. The official manufacturer batteries are best, but at times I have dabbled in third party like for my Asus EEE where I bought the big 9-cell from the company in the Netherlands. It  looked very nice and does work, but never approached the longevity advertised and it also is tricky to latch on one side (and when your battery slips and you're not plugged in, it is a bummer).
Specs on weights are difficult to come by from third party companies as they don't want to scare off folks who have a svelte netbook. Original netbook vendors' specs are easier to find.
Some models of the Acer Aspire netbooks have a 2.19 pound 3-cell and a 2.78 pound 6-cell. A jump to a 9-cell may approach double the weight of a 3-cell. One thing to be aware of is the bigger battery is slightly uglier, so you pay for the extra juice. It may interfere with fully reclining the screen also although normal viewing angles are fine.
The question I have is...what Netbook are you considering? I have seen a few models (Dell, HP, Toshiba, Asus, Acer). Out of those I like the Asus and Toshiba best for battery life and reliability and the Dell and HP lagging a bit. I don't think I would buy an Acer based on some I have come across, but YMMV and the price is definitely attractive. In any case budget $50 to imemdiately pull the little 1 GB RAM module out and get a 2 GB replacement. It will be 15% faster and well worth it.

  • 48Wh 6-cell Battery for X250 ?

    I am looking for the 6-cell 48Wh optional Battery of my new X250, to get ~10h work time at least.
    According to http://www.pro-com.org/media/pdf/LENOVO-X250-Datenblatt.pdf there should be three different Battery options available.
    I find only two of them, the 3-cell with 23Wh and the 6-cell with 72Wh.
    Does the 48Wh Battery only exists on paper?

  • Can I install a 12 cell battery on a T41?

    Hi guys
    I would like to buy a new 12 cell battery for a T41, I looked for in the service manual, but only 6 and 9 cell batteries are listed.
    Do you know if my T41 would recognize a 12 cell battery? If so, can you recommend me a part No please?
    Thanks.

    IBM never made a 12 cells battery for T41, there were just either 6 cells or 9 cells. 
    Where did you get the 12 cells battery from? ebay?

  • 6 Cell Battery Option

    Firstly, for the price per spec value of the IdeaPad S10, I am extremely impressed. When I saw this on my Lenovo's Disty's price list, I wasted no time on purchasing the unit.
    Currently I am trying to locate a 6-Cell Battery for the IdeaPad S10. 3 Cell Battery is good, however if I am going to be out on the road all day with it, I need longer battery life.
    Is there an 6-Cell Battery option? If so, what is the part number?

  • Battery for G505

    Lost original battery and having great difficulty finding a replacement.
    This is the only info I have from inside the battery compartment.. Can anyone help please

    hi Tomreidy,
    Welcome to the Forums.
    I checked the compatible batteries for this model and you're right, lenovo doesn't supply a 9-cell or 12-cell battery for this laptop, however, this ebay item is advertised as a 9-cell type compatible for the G505 but I haven't seen one using this item here in the forums.
    If you don't have access to a wall outlet where you can plugin the G505, you can opt to get a portable charger like the Poweradd™ Pilot Pro as an alternative (the reviews are good and tested for laptops but it's not cheap).

  • I have a HP Pavilion dv4 2145dx laptop. Can I replace its original battery for a 12 cells battery?

    The current battery is not working propertly. It is supposed to be a 6 cells battery, but I have heard that a 12 cells battery last much longer. Would you recommend doing that change? what battery should I buy that for sure will fit my laptop? Thanks

  • S12 first impressions - and 3-cell battery question

    Hello all,
    I received my Lenovo S12 yesterday - it is replacing a 5 year old Dell 700m.  
    I didn't even boot Windows, but instead directly installed Ubuntu 9.04.  So far everything is working great!
    My only complaint so far is, of course, the lack of trackpoint.  I know it is an IdeaPad, but I still don't understand why Lenovo doesn't put trackpoint on their Netbooks! It would be a major differentiator in a competitive market.
    I really, really want to get a 3-cell battery.  The 6-cell will be great for travelling, but around the house, I would prefer it to be lighter/slimmer.
    I can't find 3 cell black batteries for the S series ANYWHERE.  Is this just a temporary situation?  Anyone want to sell me theirs?

    Yea, 3 cell is definitely better for daily use. Can you use S10's 3 cell on S12?
    lol my old dell 600m is still there, alive, but I have replaced the hard drive twice and motherboard once. All covered in the warranty.

  • 9 cell battery performanc​e on Thinkpad T410

    I have just bought new ThinkPad T410 with 9 Cell Lithium-Ion
    Power 94 Watts/55++. This battery is advivertised to run for 18 hours, but to my laptop it runs for about 6 hours on a single charge for normal use. what is wrong with my loptop because it has failed to meet my expectationns of all day Computing on a single charge. 
    this laptop is has 4gb of ram and windows 7 professional 64 bits and is about one week since I bought it. any advice to increase battery performance

    the 18 hrs figure require another 9 cells battery slice. Although it is up to, and the manufacturer's battery figure are at most time too idealised.
