Welcome to the site repiv and well spotted!
The standard battery is 5200mAH so yes theoretically a battery quoted at 7800mAH should be a +50% improvement.
The downside though it is going to pertrude from the bottom of the NC10 quite some way and put the keyboard on a bit of an angle!
Its unfortunate that nobody is importing these in bulk – £67.40 + VAT is a bit painful for a battery 🙁
Well after shelling out £322 quid for my sammy, l for one am quite happy with this initial investment as the battery life is 7-8hrs, have run a quick check and can prob get 5+ hrs while watching a film, plenty of battery life with standard 6 cell.
Why pay more just to extend on this, but hey, each to thier own 🙂
And yes now that they are producing 3rd party 9 cell would be interested in batt life extension, AND life of battery.
If I were flying to Asia or Europe I would consider one. And if I were on Virgin Airlines with their WiFi availability etc.
I think I’ll be waiting until my current one dies too, and then will see what the options are!
PS if you fancy supporting the site then feel free to click through from the site ebay page and it will contribute a few pence/cents!
Yeah I see no point in putting a battery that runs for 6+ hours to one side to rot. Yet! Ask me when this one only keeps me going for 3 hours!
Seller gpsforless-uk is now selling these directly in the UK. Same price as before (~£70 inc shipping) but you can avoid the exorbitant import taxes 🙂
Holy cow! that’s huge!

So they are smaller and don’t appear massive.
9 cell will be a bit heavy. Maybe better to get a second 6 cell pack to swap if needed.
But more useful than any of these would be a unit the same size/shape as the battery pack that houses a mains wire and trnasformer. The idea then is to take your netbook out without batteries weighing you down, but able to pull out/unravel a mains lead from the back of the netbook.
Yes, you can always take the netbook out without a battery and carry the mains cable separately, but it would be nice to have it as a replacement battery size unit.
