    I have had my Acer Aspire 5741 for a few years now, the battery has just about had its day. I have been looking on the web for a new battery and found one site who are offering a battery, well two batteries which will fit my lap-top. One is 5200mah and the other is 7800mah. Does this mean the 7800mah one will last longer off charge than the 5200mah one.
    Sorry about being a bit unwise on this subject.
    Thanks for any assistance

    Correct!!

    Be careful choose a reputable supplier. Some of the auction site ones
    don't last long.

    Just a follow-up to my last one to you, I dont seem to have heeded your advise this time, I have ordered a new battery from www.top-battery.co.uk and I think I have been seen-off, but will have to await and see. On tryingto contact them, they have no phone number just an address which (after reading another link) the address is non-existant and the company is based in China not Southall UB2 5LF.

    Sorry to hear your reply

    You never know you may still have it delivered,it takes about three weeks post to arrive from
    china.

    A easy tip for the future is to look for any company with google earth

    Just a follow-up re my battery order, I tried contacting seller via the Resolution Centre as I got no luck via normal channels. The seller finally responded advising me the battery was out of stock in UK and would be coming from China, they gave me a tracking number which did not work (unknown number), I told the seller about this and then I was given another tracking number via a different courier on Saturday (28/11/15) morning. At 1315pm that same day the courier turned up with with battery.What a result if must have come via a rocket. So all is well in the end.
    Thanks to you all
