What type battery do I buy for my acer aspire 5532

Help with battery of an acer aspire 5532; what cell size do I need a 6 or 12?

That depends on the desired battery life when using the battery alone to power the system. The 12-cell batteries typically weigh more and extend the size of many laptops. What type do you have now?

This seems to be the default battery. 6-cell:

The battery can be found for far more expense, for local pickup in some locations at:

I don't know it does not say on the battery is have. Is there a way of checking. Would a 12 give it better battery life?

There you go:

Default is 6 cell and that is what I would buy but you can always buy 12 cell but they can kind of stick out of your laptop and they are quite more expesive.

Ok thank you for the help

For that older system, just get the cheap battery from Amazon (linked earlier). The system itself (relatively old) is really not worth the expense otherwise.

Good luck.
