The Asus Eee PC 1000HE ships with a high capacity 8700mAh 6 cell battery. That’s about 24% more than the 6600mAh 6 cell battery that came with the original Eee PC 1000HE. So it stands to reason that the newer model should get better battery life, right?

There’ve been a number of reports that the Eee PC 1000HE does indeed get excellent battery life. I plan to put my review unit to the test this week. But I have no intention of doing a test that’s anywhere near as thorough as the one presented by French site Blogeee. Because it’d be nearly impossible to do a better job.

They ran 9 separate battery tests and managed to get between 6.5 and 9.5 hours of battery life under different usage conditions.

  1. What’s the different between Asus Eee PC and Asus Eee PC 1000HE ?

  2. Are these new high capacity batteries compatible with the “old” Eee PC 901 and 1000?
