Ok... so my first laptop that i got was great. Intel duo processor, dual dvd burner, gig of ram, 12 inch monitor, 4 hours of battery life... etc. The laptop was about $600.

It died; i received my money back, however, for $850 my choices are limited. (The extra 250 was for the warranty that i never got to use because it died after a week.)

Here is my problem... After searching for a laptop that met the old one's standards for less than $1000... i found one. It was on bestbuy. This one is about 900... but the battery life is only about 1 and a half hours. I need a better battery, i am hoping to atleast get 4 hours out of it.

That is the link to the laptop i am about to purchase. I hate to ask something like this.. but could some one find me a battery that would last over 3 hours? Or explain to me how to do it myself..?

I know that is a lot to ask for but i have no idea about batteries.. if i do purchase one i'll prolly spend 200$ or so on it.

Here is an 8-cell battery. It may last 4 hours, but depending on the activity of the laptop, it may only last 3. Four hrs. would probably be asking a little much of this battery. If you can find a 12 cell battery, that should do the job.

I have been googling a little bit about them trying to find out an equation to figure it out. And you find it listed for me.. how sad...

You're welcome. I couldn't find any batteries on Newegg for that laptop. You might want to try TigerDirect.
