Asus to offer £10 battery upgrades on Eee PC

From PC Pro UK -

Asus may offer British Eee PC owners a cheap battery upgrade to quell the fury that's erupted over the company's decision to supply lower-capacity batteries to British buyers. British owners of the Eee PC 900 have been supplied with a 4400mAh battery, while laptops shipped in North America came with a 5800mAh battery.

Asus has publicly blamed the LG Chem battery factory fire for the situation, claiming that a shortage of available 5800mAh batteries forced it to put the lower-capacity model in British machines.
