I found this whilst surfing earlier. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/9CEL-7200mA-Battery-Medion-E1210-BTY-S11-BTY-S12-Black_W0QQitemZ150305746433QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item150305746433&_trkparms=72%3A1301%7C39%3A1%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C240%3A1318&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

Its a cheap battery but the postage is a bit steep. Anyone got one of these and got any comments??

Spuke,

I'll let you know how good it is. I've just ordered one. Just less than £70 including delivery.

Waiting for this...

I would buy the 120gb 3 cell model and grab this 9 cell battery if it works out.

My 9 cell got from China to Stansted England quicker than its taking to get from Stansted to my home in Warwickshire. Go figure. Latest tracking shows that its on route via delivery truck, which I'll miss as I'm at work.

Oh well its got to be worth the wait.

I ordered mine, probably from the same supplier for just under £70 including shipping, on Monday and it is due with me tomorrow (Friday). The latest FedEx tracking shows that, after a brief stopover in Hong Kong, it has arrived in Paris. I assume that, after a bit of sightseeing, a trip up the Eiffel Tower and a night at the Folly Bergere, it will eventually get here. I just hope it isn't doing the "grand tour" of Europe.

Mine has just arrived at Stansted so it may still reach me by 6 pm tomorrow as promised. Did you have to pay any import duty and VAT?

We will compare notes on performance once my battery has arrived and I have had the chance to test it.

Laker,

It stands a good chance you will get it on time tomorrow. Mine got a bit stuck at Stansted and I didn't realise it flew from there to B'ham. The delay was in the internal flight. Anyway FedEx were kind enough to deliver to a neighbour, as I was at work and there was nothing at all to pay. I was dead chuffed as this seems a bargin compared to the alternatives considering the pound/dollar issue. I read in another post that the cells in these batteries are Samsung.

I will post when I've cycled a few times. That will be next week.

Ross.

Could you possibly make another picture from the side to see how much its tilted? Would be sweet, thanks!

I had absolutely no problem paying a premium for the Mugen battery because I figured that way I'd at least be getting it before anyone else came out with a product like it. Now I just feel like an idiot with a more expensive and delayed battery on order due to be delivered in over a week.

What's the listed capacity when you get your OS to show the battery's specs? Is it the 7200 mAh that it's listed as?

Man that looks huge!!!!

Why did they put it on the bottom instead of extending the back out?

Yeh, it's really huge, I'm still doubting whether I should get a 6 or 9 cell. If he could post some more pictures from the side so you can see how much its tilted etc, would be great!

More pictures as requested.

Hope these help.

Oh and yes it does have rubber feet. I'm still waiting for it to charge.
