ASUS 6-Cell 4400MAH Laptop Battery for the ASUS UL20 Notebook and ASUS EeePC 1201N Netbook

I understand that the 1201N battery is interchangeable with the battery for the UL20. See here: http://forum.eeeuser.com/viewtopic.php?id=82183

This battery works great for our computer. It has more battery power than the previous battery supplied with the computer. Make sure you have the correct battery for your computer.

This is a friend's computer---when it stopped holding a charge, I ordered a replacement battery for her as a gift. She says she now gets 5 hrs + per charge.

The one I ordered and received from MLC Distribution, Inc. was a genuine Sony battery, and the only steps involved were powering down the computer, removing the old one, popping the new one into place, and powering back up. It's the off-brand ones that require the BIOS patches, if I understand correctly. It seems as though some sellers are claiming to sell the genuine Sony product, but are shipping out third-party batteries of dubious quality. As I said, the one I ordered from MLC Distribution, Inc. was genuine and was identical to the battery my computer originally shipped with. However, check the back of the battery when it arrives. If you don't see it say SONY somewhere on it, I would advise sending it back and getting a full refund.

I am even wondering: was this mess with the batteries intended to attract customers anxious to receive "unadvertised" bigger batteries just to boost initial sales? I am sorry for those who are now starting to receive the "standard" 4400 mAh battery. But I want to comfort you: even while I have the bigger 5800 mAh one, it seems almost impossible to me to drain even 60% of it in a real life student usage. I never carry an ac adapter with me anymore because I consistently get at least 5 min. per every 1% of battery power I have, with wifi turned on and on 60% of brightness. When wifi is occasionally off, it comes up to more than 6 min. per 1%. So, even if you will get 75% of this, it will still carry you through the whole day of classes and an evening in a starbucks. Anyways, I would not trade acer for asus even if I got smaller battery, because acer has unparalleled screen in terms of clarity and brightness.

Hi! For my use (I don't do gaming, just regular internet stuff...videos, etc) I found it to have the expected amount of time - between 2 & 3 hours. I tested it out the second day I had it, although I use the ac adapter most of the time with my laptops. But I wanted to know what to expect, so I ran it on the battery just to test it out. I don't know if games and the like make a big difference on battery life or not, though. I hope that helps some. It seems like your basic battery life for a 15-17" laptop from my experience. I have 3 laptops. Two of them (this 16" and my other Toshiba, a 15.4") have 6 cell batteries and the battery time is about the same. I have a Dell 15.4" laptop with a 9 cell battery and get 4-6 hours with that.

Thank you for the helpful information. I guess I will see about getting a cheaper netbook. I looked at a lot of reviews for different ones and they all seem about the same. Do you know which one is the best one to buy? I would like one that has a long battery life.

It might be defective and has to be exchanged. I purchased the same battery more than 6 months ago and I had no problems with it so far. I traveled a lot with my netbook and it would provide me at least 4-5 h of work from one charge every time.

While I can't tell you that I can tell you that doing a bit of checking goes a long way. I'd look at the stock OEM battery if you still have it. Get the model Number and look around starting with that. It's what I did when I didn't find a battery that listed my laptop model. I now have a fine Anker battery and a 2 hour battery life.

For me, it didn't last long. I let the battery that I bought for a 24 hour charge before using the laptop without it being pligged in the charger. It had at least a good 6 hours before battery needed to ne charged again. So I turned off my laptop and waited for it to charge. Then the next day, battery didn't work anymore as it would only hold maximum charge of 13%.

I just bought the ASUS Eee PC Seashell 1005PEB-RRE (the brownish red one) and decided to upgrade the ram to 2GB. Order the Crucial CT25664AC800 based on recommendations by other ASUS owners on Amazon. It works!!! The whole process takes less than 10 minutes. I actually spend most of the time figuring how to open the cover. The BIOS setting even auto-detect. I am very happy with both products.

You can order the 5200mAh 11.1V6 cell battery. It is six hours of life. I ordered this unit six months ago, and have not had any problems. My grandkids use this computer and they run the battery hard and it last for six hours. I hope this helps.

I don't know the answer as it is my main battery for my laptop. I just use it till it runs out of power and then plug the power cord back into the 'puter. It's still good for 3 hours continuous use. When I bought this battery, also upgraded the memory and it was a cheap solution to buying a whole new laptop

First I would go aspires website to get the specs of your laptop. Make sure your typing the right model number. . Then whatever the manufactures suggests that's what u get. Then come back to Amazon and get a battery. .

Tony, the two extended life batteries I've bought from HP, one was a replacement which has worked fine, and the other is in a new HP laptop with Core i7 machine and it gives 9-10 hrs, but is only 3 months old. If you bought from HP, I would think they would cover 1 year. From anyone else, it doesn't hurt to try.

What they mean by "Nonstandard" is that you probably can't replace the battery. It's a lithium battery that is built in, so you can't simply go to the store and replace it.The battery is rated for 10 hours by Asus. That would probably translate to something like 8 hours for typical use. Results will vary depending how you are using it, brightness, wifi, GPS, etc....Also the optional keyboard dock has a battery in it that will add another 5 hours of use to it. Probably more like 4 in real world use though. So there could be potentially be a total of 12 hours or so if you get the keyboard dock too.
