DealExtreme didn’t exactly stated how many hours the battery would last. So Eee PC 700 user Spode tried the battery pack & posted his findings on his site.

"Ubuntu suggested a discharge time of 6 hours and 48 minutes. Not bad at all. It’s been stuck on 100% for quite some time now without going down. In theory it should go down a percent every 4 minutes - I’ve been at least 10 and it’s still on 100%. However, Ubuntu is also showing some of the other stats incorrectly too - so maybe it is having trouble reporting full stop. I’ll have some more of a fiddle and see how long I get out of it!"
"So, it seems that the battery can be a good back-up battery for your Eee PC if you don’t mind carrying an extra weight on your bag."

It is definitely not a replacement since, according to Spode it doesn’t fit exactly as the original Eee PC battery.

Spode came to the conclusion; "I'm not sure I consider this to be a replacement battery, as it is too impractical" Actually the battery is to big/heavy for real portable use.
