6-cell Acer Aspire One Battery Spotted, Priced
Posted by Jack Loftus at 4:00 AM on August 4, 2008
Last weekend we wrote about MSI's now available 6-cell battery laptop, the Wind, so it seems only fitting that one week later we bring news of Acer's new Aspire One battery (also 6-cell). The battery is not available just yet, but a forum member at Liliputing found a picture and a price: US$120. As Liliputing notes, that's almost 1/3 as much as the computer's US$380 price tag. Pretty steep for more battery life on a super cheap laptop, but we're with Lilliputing in hoping Acer offers a future version of the Aspire One that comes bundled with the 6-cell, for a more reasonable price.

Extended batteries are a common upsell for many items. I just got a nice Sony camcorder but of course the stock battery stinks, and the extended one is $100 and lasts 3-4 times longer. The strategy is to get you in cheap, then when you're invested sell the expensive accessories.
