From what information I have been able to gather, only 6 cell batteries fit into this laptop due to the hinging mechanism. If you were to place a larger battery in the laptop, it would restrict the monitor portion of the laptop, and only open part of the way.

Weird, I am sure I have heard of others that did get a bigger battery for it, though I only need the power adapter since this is for our second home anyway. Regardless, thanks for the heads-up!

The battery i bought is labeled Dell and it fits and powers the laptop up, but since i put it in the machine has been freezing up. The only way to get it going again has been to take the battery out and reboot. It could be a total coincidence, but the problem started when the battery was switched out. But, i needed a new battery to use it at all so i didnt have much choice. I know this is not perfect advice, but it is all i can offer.

We ordered this one http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008OF9I88/ref=ox_ya_os_product and have been using it with the stock Toshiba charger without a hitch. We also ordered the battery for the P775 but it has presented a problem with charging it as it's taking a solid 2 days to reach a full charge level. If you get a good one they work as advertised but like everything there are some faulty ones out there too. With Amazons excellent return policies I wouldn't hesitate to give it a try. We're on the road or I would be returning the second one for a replacement. Good Luck.

The one I bought was for a 1470. It completely died and would not charge on 5weeks. I had put it in when I received it and used the laptop maybe a couple of days with no problem. I then put the laptop away for about a month without using it. When I turned it on after that time the battery was completely dead and would not charge. I JUST CLICKED ON THE BATTERY YOU ASK ABOUT AND FOUND THAT THIS IS ACTUALLY A BATTERY I BOUGHT LAST DECEMBER FOR A 1525. IT WENT BAD ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO.

Hi, Jeanette,I don't know for sure if it will fit your laptop model. In the title of this battery DV6 models are included and in the description of the product- too, but not all of them (I don't see your #), and it is very confusing. That's what happened to me. I would suggest you to send this question to the seller directly by going to his profile (that's what I did and the seller answered very quickly on my question as to this battery) and if the seller says "yes", go ahead. I am glad I bought this one because it is much better then the original and after 3 months of use still works (up to 3.5 hrs of watching moves instantly). Good luck and hope, my answer will be helpful (a little bit?). Hi, Jeanette,I don't know for sure if it will fit your laptop model.

Hi - Yes, I should have posted that I also found out the 1011 is indeed the 10v. How many hours does the 3 cell last - does anyone know?In any case, I checked out the 1011 at Microcenter (hands-on), and found it to be a sturdy little number but they were selling it for $334 and were sold out. That's why when I found it here for $299 I thought it was a good deal. I would probably upgrade the memory to 2 G via Crucial. I think it sells for around $50.

I would say if I am using my laptop to full capacity (streaming video, using high brightness levels, running multiple programs etc.), I get roughly over an hour give or take 15 min from 100% to 20%. I would say it's not as good as the new battery when I got it in 2011, but I am satisfied with it's performance overall. Just use energy saver settings and I think you'll find it's a solid replacement battery, in my opinion.

Dear Loraine According to your laptop specifications you need at least 9000 mAh 12 cell battery. The one I've reviewed is only 5400 mAh Even if the socket in the battery bay is the same I would not recommend using this one because it will dramatically decrease your's laptop stand by and work time on battery as it's just a little more than half of what you had previously. Inside the battery bay or on the original battery itself you shoud have a sticker saying "Replace with... " it should tell you which battery is the best for replacement. Generally the rule is to buy batteries with equal or greater mAh number. Just enter A505-S6005 to Amazon browser and you should see at least couple of recommendations you should be able to buy it for up to 40 dollars Pawel

Hi, yeah I was up late and noticed your email. Let's see, I think I still have my old T135 downstairs, but it is broken. My friend dropped it. But I'll see if the batteries fit the same sockets.... I would be surprised because the P755 is a much bigger notebook... but I'll check it out. Give me some time to try to find the T135. Thanks. JT

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 bought this product when my laptop charger port became compromised and the fix was almost as expensive as buying a new laptop, so instead decided to purchase extra battery and charge batteries externally. I found that the original battery that came with my asus laptop -- so it was old--would not charge on the external charger---get the same response you are getting. Since then I have purchased 3 new batteries--all charge perfectly on the external charger. If it's your original battery may be the same issue? Hope this helps!

The battery is working for my laptop but i'm not getting what I would of thought a longer battery life. It's longer but not what was expected being a larger battery...

Hello. I have the inspiron n5010 aka 15r. It works great. There is one issue. Occasionally I will get a plugged in but not charging. All I have to do its remove the plug and put it back in. Then it works, issue 2 is sometimes my battery monitor application will tell me that it was unable to get battery name or information. That is rare but I just have to unplug the charger and put it back in. One thing to look for. This battery isn't how the pictures list it. It sticks out the bottom not the back, I personally like it because it helps with air flow

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.

I ordered this battery and it does not work for me either...I have no idea why but it is not the same battery shown when I ordered it. I actually never knew it did not work - because I only use it on the desk and it is plugged in. I really feel that I need a refund.
