Want to get a bit more battery life out of your Eee PC? The current generation of batteries come in 4400 and 5200 mAh varieties, which tend to die after 2-3 hours of use. Asus plans to sell a 6-cell, 7800 mAh extended battery soon, which should give you a bit more power. But if you don't feel like waiting for Asus to begin selling extended batteries, you can pick a 3rd party battery on eBay today. Best of all, there are already 3rd party batteries with capacities up to 10400 mAh, which is reportedly enough juice to power an Eee PC for nearly 5 hours.

Have you or anyone else actually had a hands on with these new batteries? I hope they are better quality than that Chinese dog food ingredient was.
I haven't tried it myself, but if you follow the link in the post you can read reports from members of the EeeUser forums who have used these batteries.
I'll probably be picking one up soon. Since the Eee PC 900 seems to use the same batteries as the 700 series, they should work in the Eee PC 900 I hope to order when they become available.
I bought a both a 5200 and a 10400. I have let them both run completely out during normal use (wifi was on). The 10400 lasted for 6 hours, which was great. The 5200 lasted 2.5 hours. Shipping was really fast. I ordered them on Monday and they arrived in the US on Thursday.
