Its similar to a regular AA. one end is flat and smooth (negative) and the other has a raised button end (positive) but a bit larger than a AA

Brad, yes it is smooth and flat on top. I made a shallow tray for the top of mine that I lift off when I need to access whats stored in the top compartment. The top is substantial enough to support any load I've had on it. Bob N

I don't have it in front of me, but the side of the battery that is flat (without the little knob in the middle) always goes against the spring in the compartment. This is the same for any item you are putting batteries into.

The battery slides in perfectly and properly fits in the computer. The computer also sits flat on a surface. However, since the pack has extra cells, it is larger. When the computer is closed and you look down from the top, the battery sticks out. Cara also described the issue correctly. I have no problem and am happy with the battery but if you do not need a longer run time and you do not want your computer to have a bit larger "footprint", stay with a six cell battery.

Some devices such as certain flashlights may not work with flat top batteries due to their positive contact point being designed for button top batteries. Also flat tops differ in whether or not the positive contact is raised above the battery package, making it the highest area of the battery top or not. All these factors enter into battery/device compatibility.

Yes the bottom is flat. It is used on a glass top stop now and it works fine.

It is larger than the usual battery but it will fit. The laptop will not lay flat with this battery.

No it is not normal, but it is common. This is one of many "replacement" batteries out there using the Toshiba PA3819U-1BRS part number that will not work in all computers that the genuine Toshiba battery will.

Yes, It is but I would not waste your time with this battery as they are cheap Chinese knockoffs and last about an hour.

The Operating system (Windows 7) or any other does not matter. Mine looks exactly like the battery shown in the image. The original battery in my 17 Dell XPS did not have the raised bottom like this battery but it fit my laptop just fine. I purchased this battery in December of 2013 and it is working great.

It worked for my laptop. It isn't flat like the original battery though so the laptop will be slightly elevated.

Sure sounds like it. Theres no secret trick to this battery. Usually a battery would have at least little charge right out of the box .

The battery is pretty much the exact size of the box which it comes in. You can mount this battery on top or side. I got my battery the next day after I ordered it. It came super fast and already charged up

No it is not; mine comes up fine just by squeezing the releases on each side of the battery.

Hello, Yes it is flat as I have a glass top stove also...it is a very nice pan.

It's a sealed unit, that must have a pretty custom battery to be so flat. Probably would be hard to find even if you could get access. I would suspect battery life will degrade slowly over a long time.

Nope! The computer is completely flat when the battery is in place. I highly recommend this product.
