High capacity battery for N311

[thierryb]

My N311 can stay on only 3h30 with wifi on and the very first level of backlight. It is really not enough for me . I have heard the existence of a high capacity battery. But do not succeeded to find one in stock somewhere. Does one of you know where to find one?

yup, i contacted acer about this and got a phone number for their spares department in the UK. my computer crashed before the weekend and all my emails are stuck on there at the mo, so i won't be able to give you the details til it's fixed. if you can't wait, or you need info for ordering in another country, i suggest you chuck Acer support an email... they're very helpful


i'll reply here with the phone number once my PC is up and running again, for your reference and for anyone else that wants to order a battery.

I hare contacted by mail Acer in France. They gave me the email of 2 distributors of spare parts. I contacted them but without any success. I am ready to buy it in UK, so I am waiting your info.

If/when someone does get this thing, some photos of it in the device would be great. Unless of course there is no size difference or buldging backplate... but I doubt it.

I'm hoping to get my hard-drive temporarily transferred to my laptop tonight, so i'll be able to give you the number then. And if that doesn't work, or they don't have the high-capacity (i can't remember if i asked for that or just a spare) then i know a shop in Holland that sells it and i can buy from them through a friend.

I am also ready to buy in Holland. And if he is your friend...

sure thing, we'll see how this phone number works out first, when i rescue it from my pc.

Right, i suspect this number isn't going to be so useful as it appears i just asked for a place to buy a spare battery, not a high capacity. They're open workdays so i can't phone and check today: 0870 8531005 but i will phone Monday if i get a moment.

As a quick aside, there's these guys who you could enquire with: http://www.cybex.cz/Produkt.aspx?Sho...K&CategoryId=0

These guys list it also: http://www.apexis.cz/iobchod/cze/pro...t=0UP#pro49034 and have a slightly more professional looking website.

and these guys have a photo: http://www.centralpoint.nl/frame.php..._Capacity.html and the product listed. Whether the photo is correct or not, who knows.

oop, and these guys for 58 euros: http://www.fatech.com/logistica/bran...tml?value=Acer

I'll be contacting all these people at some point, but i thought i'd put them here so if others are in more of a hurry they could have a go too. That second-to-last shop is in the Netherlands, and if we fail to find a battery anywhere else and they won't deliver outside of their country, i can get a couple from them. But i'll be trying all these places first, and more if i find them.

If anyone contacts any of these places, please do let us know what they say.

Finally. I have found photos of the high capacity battery in a Chinese site. It is thickness is twice the standard one. So I will not bvy a high capacity but a standard one.
Thanks for you help

Can you share a link to the site so we can have a look too?
