It seems that i'm losing time when i disconnect the laptop from the AC. It could be the bios battery getting weak. Where is that i can get one other than on eBay at69$ and coming from Great Britain?

CMOS batteries are just CR2032 button cell batteries and you can grab 10 of them for a dollar if you know where to look, I believe yours is packed with shrink tape but you could technically just pick up a couple of them and replace the dead ones in your current pack. You can also order one from GrandTech - 1-800-567-0586, Acer's parts partner for out of warranty customers (so says their support department).

If I look on eBay, this is what i get so it's not a button battery like other laptop.

The price is high for such battery so do you know where i can get that in Canada at a decent price?

Here's Acer's official parts partner, got the number from their support line. Comsol Data - 1-800-267-4834.

Otherwise unfortunately I don't, I usually just repack new cells myself but I know this isn't a usual or altogether practical solution.

Here's a quick hint though, the heads look to be about the same on most other Acer model bios battery packs. See here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/GENUINE-Acer-Aspire-5745-Bios-CMOS-Battery-tested-pg9-/171108740693?pt=LH_De...

For that price you could grab one and give it a shot. In my opinion it should work just fine.

Thanks for the replies, i'm going to buy one from the links on eBay and see if it's working.
