Could someone please let me know where I can purchase a new battery for the above computer.  The Acer website in my country doesn't sell one.  Thank you so much in advance.  Pat

Do an internet search to find an equivalent battery.

Leho,

Thanks for the response - and I would have done that already except I can't find the original battery sku number, etc.  I already have a replacement battery that is different than the original in manufacturer - so all I really know is that it's a 6 cell, 4400mAh, 48 wts... I guess I can try with the computer model and those specifications; just thought someone might know of a good site to purchase batteries - ...

Oh, one question I have.  In my manual for the Aspire it indicates that unless I need to use the computer with battery power that I should just use the power cord - I've always been told that a battery should be in place, however, I use the laptop plugged into the power cord almost all the time - should be removing the battery??  Seems odd to leave that big hole in the bottom of the computer, seems odd.

Thanks so much Leho - appreciate the response, Pat

For more than anyone will ever want to know about batteries, try batteryuniversity.com .  My perusal suggests that Acer is correct and continual charging is not conducive to long battery life, but you be the judge.

Received my new battery - but still feel weird about leaving it out of the computer when plugged into direct power.  Oh well.  Guess I should get used to it.
