15-hour-batteryNetbooks tend to get pretty decent battery life when compared with larger laptops thanks to their low power processors. And when you add a high capacity 6 cell battery, you can often get 5 to 8 hours of run time on a single charge. But for some people that’s just not good enough. So one guy decided to take matters into his own hands and build a battery that provides 12-15 hours of battery life for an Asus Eee PC netbook.

Basically, he took apart a battery from an old laptop and wired them together with a standard Eee PC battery and then used a bunch of electrical tape to make tie the contraption together. The result is a rather bulky looking abttery that can run for up to 15 hours. It also takes 12 hours to fully charge.

    Wonder what that will do to the life of the charger. Also, wouldin't it be better to just buy another battery?

    That is crazy if it takes 12 hours to charge up. It takes 90 minutes or less to recharge the 6-cell battery on my 1000H. I don't think it will affect the life of the charger though.

    Just as BoloMKXXVIII said, buy another battery. Unless you already have all the spare ones.

    It may reduce the life of the charger because it takes so long to charge the charger may get hotter than designed.
