Like tredragon, I also gave up on the uniwill because of the poor battery life... ordered a Quanta KN1-PM from istnc on Saturday.

that's what I was trying to figure out all this time. There is mention of a 9-cell battery on a review by ZoZo but he purchased his system in Germany and has not posted his battery specs. I have searched far and wide on all of the battery retailer's sites on the net and have not found a battery replacement other than the 6-cell. This barebook (case) is also the same as the 255ENX series, yet I cannot find the 9-cell option for it for sale anywhere. The specs I got though (9-cell 10.8v, 6600mAh) were from the product specs of this notebook according to Uniwill's PDF on the product. Also listed as the 255ENX in the PDF.

Hi,

An email quote from my vendor:

Quote:
As I understand it, there is only a 9 cell battery available for the 259EN3, I am not able to procure a 12 cell from any of my distributors.
go to rawpowerpc.com and im pretty sure gary can provide that 9 cell battery for you! (chat with him or send an email)

Oh my god, I cant really find time to review this laptop... but I guess zozo has clearly expressed what this notebook is all about.

The laptop has been on all day and I have been playing with it all day... watching TV with it as well and it has worked perfectly!

Regarding the battery, I know most of you might not like external battery... but I think with this type of a GREAT system, it's worth having an external battery.. but I havent really travel much so I havent been frustrated with the battery life. You can get 9 cell tho which is of course a lot better that 6.

feel free to email me with any Qs.

I am still looking to verify the information jdub86 posted above as I have conflicting information as to the standard battery (6 cell or 9 cell). Our distributor has suggested that ONLY a 9 cell is available which leads me to believe that his information is incorrect as many of you have stated you have 6 cell batteries. I will update once I have accurate info.

OK, like unleaded said, there is only one battery for this lappy. I was informed by my vendor.

Need to check my battery now if it is really 9 cell. Like dragon said on the other hand, it seems he has a 6 cell. But how the hell is that possible if they only have one battery for this notebook. which is according to uniwill, a 9 cell.

OK, mine says 4400mah which tells me also that I have 6 cell, so I need to get in touch with my vendor then.

Let's see what happens..

Hey I just saw this ABS MAYHEM G4 REVOLUTION A50 on Newegg.

I guess ABS has picked up the Uniwill 259EN3 plateform.

they have had that out for a while. I priced them and you can get it cheaper with AVADirect.com or other re-sellers. ABS makes good gaming systems, but nothing with great battery life, again.
