Great Transaction - Just as expected
Strengths: Product as described, no issues. Fast shipping.
Weakness: Form factor of battery.
Great battery life, although I generally stay plugged in I have gotten 5+ hours on couple of occasions. I know it is an extended battery, but I would expect the design to be better. The protruding section (which exist on almost all extended batteries) is only as long as the original battery. This means the rear base of the laptop now sits on approx. 2/3rds the space it sat on before. This seems a little less stable than I would have preferred. It also sits awkwardly when using on you lap. Given the life of the EOM battery this is a must have!

Top12-Cell Lithium-Ion Battery
Strengths: Gives you more current independent worktime.
Weakness: A little bit bulky and heavy (if you travel a lot)
The specification says that it will give you up to 8 hours of worktime, but that depends a lot on what you are doing. My own experience is that the batterie is good for about 4-5 hours real worktime. Together with the original batterie it will give you 6-7 hours which is quite enough if you are traveling in an airplane in the US. For longer flights you should have two batteries.

TopBattery Review
Strengths: Very noticeable improvement in battery life over 6-cell
Weakness: Bulges out from the the laptop
My HP Pavilion dv4000 was virtually useless for traveling because the 6-cell battery would die after 90 minutes. I'm not really sure how long the 12-cell lasts because I always seem to have enough power. It probably lasts around 3 hours, but it made a huge difference.
This came at the expense of carrying a little more weight, and having a bulge come out of the laptop. It's basically like there is another 6-cell glued to the bottom of the laptop. It puts the keyboard at an angle when placed on a desk, but that is actually more of a feature than a weakness.

TopUnbelievable!
Strengths: Waaay more battery life. Nice forward tilt. Better cooling.
Weakness: A tad pricy, and heavier than the original.
I bought this for my girlfriend’s Presario v5000. The old 6-cell was worn out and lasting 20 minutes if she was lucky. This 12-cell is light-years better! In her own words, “I expected that it would be better, but not THAT much better!!” She’s thrilled. She hasn’t actually had the chance to run it down yet, but after over an hour in Vista “power saver” mode, it was at 91%. Sweet!
Oh, and since the battery is bigger, it does put the laptop/keyboard on a nice forward angle, and the laptop does run cooler now. It adds a bit of weight, but the v5000 was already on the heavy side so it’s not much different.

What does that have to do with the product? Can you please tell me about the product not the shipper in the product comments?

PJ12 Lithium Battery - 12 Cell Upgrade
Strengths: Double the run time on the laptop.
Weakness: Twice the size of the original battery.
Came in as a "opened item" this was stated on the site, the package was a little rough. However this was a great overall value and there were no challenges with the battery.

I WAS USING THE STANDARD 6-CELL BATTERY WITH MY LAPTOP.I WOULD LITERALLY GET 20 MINUTES OF USAGE, BEFORE IT WOULD LOSE POWER.THE 12-CELL HAS BEEN USED FOR 4 HOURS WITHOUT LOSING POWER.I WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT.

Top12-Cell Lithium-Ion Battery
Strengths: Length of unplugged power, "fat" battery acts as a stand to elevate and to allow better cooling
Weakness: None so far
My husband says this may be the best gift I ever gave him! His laptop was only lasting about 15 minutes on battery power, and now it lasts close to four hours! I don't think he'll be without a 12-cell ever again. (I know I won't be!) Along with the memory upgrade, he almost feels like he has a new laptop.

The first battery I received didn't hold a charge but I was sent a new one right away at no extra charge. Great customer service and speedy shipping. I would highly recommend using them for all my computer needs.
