Like aftermarket batteries do ya? Just keep this picture in mind danger-boy when you're ordering a 10-cell, 13,000mAh Li-ion battery from eBay for your Eee PC 901. Also available in black to match the depths of your shame for turning your ultra-portable into a semi-luggable. One more for grins after the break.

Oh my god
Becky, look at her battery
Its so big
She looks like one of those linux guys girlfriends
Who understands those linux guys
They only talk to her because she looks like a WoW player
I mean her battery
It's just so big
I can't believe it's so round
It's just out there
I mean, it's gross
Look, she's just so l33t
*rap*
I like big batteries and I can not lie
You other brothers can't deny
That when a girl walks in with an itty bitty Eee
And a 10-cell thing in your face
You get blue screened
Wanna press esc
Cuz you notice that battery was stuffed
Gigabytes in the Solid State she's writing
I'm hooked and I can't stop browsing
Oh, baby I wanna get with ya
And take your picture
My homeboys tried to warn me
But that battery you got
Make Me so raid-0
Ooh, electrons of 10-cells
You say you wanna get in my join my chat
Well ping me ping me cuz you aint that average lappy
Chorus was definately the best bit but seriously... it's jsut a battery and that was a poor first.
You wrote all that and still managed to come first? Congrats :P
The internet, sir, belongs to you.
@Intrepid
he just C&P'd it from the last time he posted it... i saw that post before...
Kanye West comments on Engadget? Wow!
Kanye West? No my dear sir, that is Sir Mixalot.
Unless Kanye West took that song like he did with Daft Punk's "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger"
@Mobius_1Mobius_1
Certainly Kanye West has a bigger ego than he does.
Indeed!
Well done!
I Low Ranked you because ive seen that before....
It was funny the first time...
"You wrote all that and still managed to come first? Congrats :P"
That's what she said.
Killed it! thanks for the LOLs
hum ... where have I seen this before ... oh wait it was right here on engadget a couple of weeks ago. It was cool the first time around but dude if you can't come up with anything new pls keep quiet. One hit wonders usually turn out to be lame ( kinda like the song that you modeled your rhyme after ).
Jack, Adderz, cg0def
Translation: Your first post sucks and isn't funny! I wanted to be first so I could make a blending or crisis joke OLOLOLOLLLOL
That's one great mobile netbook.
I am always skeptical about aftermarket battery. These batteries are like a ticking time bomb, not knowing when will it go ka-boom
Defeats the purpose, dare I say.
That thing is H-O-T!
No really, its hot. Turn it off dude!
Love it!
Might actually make it easier to hold on to (small & slick, for my big hands).
Does anyone state how long it lasts on a full charge (real world numbers, please:)?!?
I've read "10 to 14", but that might be the company boasting... ;@b
Maybe you should just buy the Eee 1000 battery for your Eee 1000:

Plus 200g more weight for ~12 hours of battery life isn’t too shabby.
Any word on the battery life? If it gets less than 8 hours I will be sorely disappointed.
oh come on!
Practicality be damned.
It was designed for the 1000 series of Eee PC's, of course it looks ridiculous on the 901.
It's not THAT big at all, if though they could've easily made it ore streamlined. I'd more than gladly "lug" that around if it meant several hours of increased battery life.
Of course, the dangers of 3rd party batteries is a whole other issue that might turn me off of it.
FUGLY
GROW UP, stop saying FUGLY.
Fuzo! You sneaky bastard!
True this is really FUGLY on 901. if they make it compact then maybe
and to the two below im not him.
Professional
Fusion Fuzo
might as well make it longer and use it as a handle.
It wants to eat yer BAAYBAA!!!
Can I use it to scrape ice off my windscreen?
Battery life, awesome...But come on! Don't tease us with the new Spoon-In-Glass model and Not talk about it at all.
Hammerhead Edition... finally, something practical for the EEE... now to hang my cuckoo clock, where's the nail?
Interesting, more hours to spend on a machine that hardly does much.
Ya know, I love the EEE, and I love battery life as much as the next guy, but sweet Christ that looks awful. I don't care if it hangs directly out of the back farther at the same width as the netbook itself, but why build it out further horizontally?
It's because the battery is meant for the 1000H dude...it's even curved to the contours of the 1000 series if you look.
The 90x and 1000 series use the same batteries though, so people buy this for the 900 series notebooks too.
And the reason why it goes further horizontal is because the other extended batteries went vertical to cram that much power in and ended up making the notebook like 2 inches thick in the back. This is actually the best way to cram 10 hours of life into a 1000h
My god, it's full of stars.
... uh, WANT!
Forgive the reply to self, but where does one get one of these?
I want one for the wind please!
I'm getting ~11 hours out of mine, love it, and mine looks worse, I have a beautiful pearl white 901, and a black battery.
I'm thinking duct taping the GPS puck to the back fo the screen is my next mod :)
11+ hours of battery life for me, I take it to work and use it as a GPS with Garmin's Mobile PC software & puck.
