Battery upgrades for VPCEA3S1E?

[pcornall]

Hi there - I have a Sony Vaio VPCEA3S1E/B; the standard battery it came with is pretty poor and has a low capacity, so if possible, I'd like to replace it with a meatier and more powerful battery. Does anyone know if this would be possible, and if so, what model of battery would fit my Vaio? Any help would be gratefully appreciated!

Hi pcornall,

The specifications for you model indicate that the original battery is a 3500mAH Li-Ion with a battery life of 3 hrs.

There is a 5000mAH battery available that claims up to 4.5hrs of life. Unfortunately it comes at a price of £149.00.
