3-Cell Battery for MSI 100-432? I recently got an MSI 10-432 which I like pretty well. The big battery in the back does make it very tippy, however. I wondered whether putting a 3-cell battery in, when I don't need the extra battery life, would fix the problem---does anyone know? Also, does anyone know how to find a 3-cell battery which fits it? I'd be grateful for advice. Peter 3-Cell Battery for MSI 100-432? I recently got an MSI 10-432 which I like pretty well. The big battery in the back does make it very tippy, however.

Not as tippy with 3 cell. Mine came with a 3 cell. I picked up a 9 cell but don't remember where but it stopped working after 2 months!

The 3 cell battery makes it less tippy. Mine came with the 3 cell. I got a 9 cell but it stopped working after 2 months and I lost where it came from.

I've owned my UL30A-X5 since the beginning of 2011 (original owner) and the battery is suddenly now failing (I am getting a message on my power meter "Consider replacing your battery"). A) I'm surprised that I've owned this computer for 15 months and the battery is now failing B) The reviews for the replacement battery ASUS sells indicate those batteries are not sold at full capacity (note, not full charge, but full capacity)Please comment and advise.Thank you,JK

For me the battery fit perfectly on my laptop and I am currently using whole timeSo that you should check the options of battery models available for you laptop in the list that they provide for a perfect fit. I really don't have any problem at all Hope this helpCheers

If it uses 2-2016's then use those because the voltage of two cells is required. The 2016 is half as thick(1.6mm vs 3.2mm) as the 2032. The 2032 is over twice the capacity (lasts 2X longer) than the 2016 (~200mAhr versus 90mAhr), BUT two 2016's is 6.4V, whereas a single 2032 will be just 3.2V. Blue and White LED's will most likely require 2x2016's, while red for example might be just fine (and work longer) on 1x2032. Sorry it isn't simpler. Unless you are having problems with batteries not lasting long enough I would go with 2x2016's as one person states and just get a bunch of them (they can be found pretty cheap nowadays).

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.

It's a 6 cell in 3S2P. Laptop of a decade ago might contain 3S3P but now a day laptop battery pack is mostly 6 cells since battery chemistry got much improved on capacity.

Not sure, I replaced the battery because the laptop would not hold a charge overnight while is was "asleep" Now it does. I usually do not clock the battery. I also added 16 Gig RAM and parallels running Win7. I have been happier with the laptop since I upgraded the battery.

I am very pleased with the AGPtek nine-cell battery. It has tamed that little power-greedy bugger and made it useful. I run Mint Linux on it. I've never actually run it down to empty, but I have gotten more than three hours out of it. The power meter says I have more than six when its fully charged -- and I think it would give that as long as you weren't taxing the drive and graphics too much. It is a bit bulky, but I actually like the way it raises the back of the unit to make it like the legs of desktop keyboard. It also gets rather warm, so I wouldn't recommend using it in cramped conditions where that heat will be allowed to build up. All-in-all, I recommend it as a good solution to the problem.

I got somewhat less than 2 hrs (but I wasn't doing much other than moving the mouse to keep the screen from going to sleep) - about what I expected. This is a basic (6-cell) battery. there are extended (9-cell) batteries that will last longer. Also important to follow the "break-in" procedure (full charge - full drain - full charge, etc). Some laptops may have to "learn" how to charge a new battery before it can do it efficiently, and fully.

I'm considering three 9-cells on ebay. Two are 7200mAh and the ebay links are:<http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName;=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item;=140297959172><http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName;=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item;=160305247946>The other is 7800mAh and the ebay link is:<http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName;=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item;=280314111004>Does anyone have experience with these particular batteries/sellers? Or are there other 7200/7800mAh batteries that you can recommend? Links to the items would be much appreciated. Thanks, Joe I'm considering three 9-cells on ebay.

I have the same Lap Top. It works fine in mine. It is a little harder to push in than the original battery but fit good. You have to get use to the ridge on the bottom. It is not flat like the one you have now. Works better on a table but you will notice it in you lap. Mine works fine. Would buy again for the cost factor.

As I recall this battery did not fit my T400i because of the shape where it connected with my lap top. They sent me the correct replacement and I had to send this one back. From what i remember, it was not that much larger than my other battery though. I hope this helps. Good luck. Donn

Well, I would say, that you could remove the battery and see if it is a 5900mAh which is the new NC10SE, or 5200mAh the old NC10. Let us know what you find.. My will be in on Monday!! I can't wait! :c)

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.

I saw a 12 cell at Toshiba Direct for $150. I wonder why they don't have a 9 cell...You can always upgrade your battery and it's an easy task. Just unplug & turn off laptop, then switch them out. With a lot of the higher cell batteries, however, they stick out from the bottom of the laptop. The good thing is that they are in the back part so all it does is give you more slant.

The battery that came with it is NB-6L 3.7 v 1060 mAH Li-ion battery. I purchased two backup batteries (Generic & Cheap) they are 1600 mAH Li-ion batteries. The initial battery is okay. The backups, well you know the superior performance of a 1600 mAH charge is going to last a lot longer. I hope this helps.
