£10 Battery Upgrade For UK Eee PC 900 Owners

Posted by kdawson on from the doing-the-rght-thing dept.

Ken E. writes "Asus has backed down in the face of complaints from UK Eee PC 900 owners about the ultra-portable's low-capacity battery. Confusing statements posted in online reviews led buyers to believe that they would get a larger capacity battery than they actually did — and they weren't happy. Asus has, however, made a conciliatory gesture by extending a £10 high-capacity battery upgrade offer. Mobile Computer has the full announcement, plus quite a bit of background on how this fuss all got started. The batteries will be available June 10 and in the meantime Eee PC owners can download a BIOS update that Asus claims will add half an hour to battery life."

    I've got a 1.2ghz p3(latitude c610) that gets 14+ hours on two 66whr batteries w/ a 1500x1050LCD, so color me unimpressed.
