I got my 9-cell off of ebay and it was around 7-7.5 hours reported with wireless but no bluetooth, though I didn't actually use it that long. It does add a lot of weight, I think the battery might weigh almost as much as the laptop :D

The 9 Cell is suppose to last longer because of the increased storage of 3 extra cells. Mine didn't. good luck

As an addendum to my previous answer: The original battery was heading south after three years of constant use. I purchased a couple of aftermarket batteries (a 9-cell and a 6-cell) on Amazon. Both have been fantastic. I keep the 9-cell mounted on the Aspire. If I place the power setting on "Power Saver", I can use the netbook for an entire weekend vacation with no recharge. I take several three- and four-day trips throughout the year. I rarely, if ever, take a charger or mouse. I place the netbook in a neoprene sleeve and have plenty of computing power for DAYS while adding almost no weight or volume to my travel bag.

Another factor to battery charge duration is the normal cell signal the phone has during the day. At a couple of sites I work at, the battery barely goes 8 hours but at my office, it will still be at 50 % at the end of the day. Also as mentioned - what are you running. I found that I only turn on items as needed (WiFi / GPS).

You should be able to hold the storage battery power that is not used in one sitting for at least a week. I have not used it after an on the go quick cell charge and then didn't use it again for as mentioned above.. A week and I still had the same charge it had when I turned it off. I think that heat and extreme cases of cold conditions definitely play a role. Obviously try to keep it at room temperature and not leave it plugged in past the fully charged Mark. This will extend the life of this great product. I have had it for a good 8months. And not a single complaint!

the processor is quad core and currently the battery cannot be upgraded to a 9 cell battery because it is not yet available to my understanding. I checked a hp battery chart for all their notebook models and under the envy 17 series it shows a 6 cell and 9 cell battery for that model. The battery probably just hasn't come out yet, so keep checking periodically until it does.

yes it will but it depends on the voltage, check the voltage on the original charger and the voltage the 9 cell requires

My first run lasted over 9 hours. Had a party where I put my Iphone in at 1:00p.m. and it ran with volume at 36/40 untill 10:20P.M. at which I turned it off because the party was over. Batteries did show signs of failure the day after playing it again for about 20min. When i tried to turn the volume pass 15/40 it would turn it self off. Batteries are not an issue with this device compared to most devices these days

As far as I can tell the 9 volts are timer based. The batteries capacity (mAh) determines the time in the charger. It will automatically turn off after so many hours. (at least ours does!)

But who is the manufacturer of this 9 cell battery? I have found that many other foreign manufacturers have substandard batteries that do not last and lose their charging capability quickly...hopefully this won't be the case but make sure there is a lengthy warranty for that battery

These are good units. I have bought 4 sets and have served me well. They should work with a 9volt battery. Battery will only last about 8 hours max. I have not done it on these units but on all my others I have I do not see why it would not work. If you want I can try it and see. Let me know if you want me too. phh57@att.net

You will need to put 5 volts across the pin labeled 5V, and any of the grounds (GND). You can use a battery, however the power supply must be regulated at 5 volts, so you cannot directly connect a 9 volt cell. You could use something like a 7805 regulator to generate this supply if you intend to use a 9 volt cell.

I highly recommend this 9-cell. I never did a scientific test for run time, but I never used the charger during an eight-hour shift at work. I would only charge it at home. That wasn't a solid eight hours on-- I would turn it off for short periods-- but I think you could count on at least a six-hour run time. I have since given my AOD255 to my son and bought myself an Acer V5, and I notice it comes with a 9-cell battery, so I guess Acer figured AGPtek was on to something.

purchased 9 cell , works for 6.5 hrs with bluetooth and wireless g radio running . The large battery angles the computer for typing which is great in my opinion. Add significant weight to this machine so be ready for that. I had a three cell machine before that so I was really spoiled, will probably use the 9 cell most of the time as I use the machine mostly at home and its great for portable freedom in the house. But when I am traveling light in the word so don't though that old battery away just yet! Enjoy

Takes 9v battery, mine's going over a year old, moderate use. I would say at this rate battery life would not concern me.
