    Nowhere as of yet. But you could always try to replace the cells inside the battery pack. But I doubt yours has died out already...

    Over here, the Acer Service Centre can order a 6 cell battery for me in a matter of days (I'm holding out because i'm stingy). The price isn't too bad either - about 90 usd after conversion.

    I'd try calling up your respective acer service centre and asking them directly.

    3 cells are always on ebay, and I've seen one or two 6 cell white ones pop up. Maybe I'll call the acer center here and see if they can order me a 6 cell.

    I wanted a spare battery because the 3-cell has such a relatively short life, and because like a lot of others, I don't care for the 6-cell version, price-wise or size-wise! I took the suggestion to check out ebay, and I did in fact find someone selling batteries there. But $82.83 doesn't sound like such a good deal. Maybe when people start buying the 6-cell batteries they'll want to unload their used 3-cell bats? I'm still surprised that the Acer site doesn't say anything about batteries as spare parts.

    Website says it's available but not in stock. I went to the canadian acer online store, and they don't have it yet neither. I hate those rain checks.

    Hi Guys,
    I haven't had time to read through all these posts but I can help you with your battery requirement. I work for Source IT, www.sourceits.com and although I have never been to the NCIX site I can tell you that they are not an authorize acer parts distributor as we are.
    Over the past few weeks we have been selling quite a few 6 Cell, and higher capacity 3 Cell batteries. Although the 6 Cells are currently on temporary back order I believe they should be back in stock by early next week. Please do not hesitate to visit our site for any of your acer spare parts needs, we pride ourselves at being the least expensive source for spare parts around.

    Please check us out and email us with any questions.. [email protected]

    Do the higher-capacity, 3-cell batteries you carry have the same physical dimensions as the stock 3-cell battery? Thanks.
