As ken0042 said, you can always buy another battery for it online. It would mean you are stuck with a extra 3 cell battery that wouldn't be worth it to resell though.

In my quest for cheapness, I've dabbled with various Chinese batteries for my EeePC off dealextreme and they've actually had amazing life, just I don't know how long that will continue over the course of a year or two. I'm going to China in a few days to the hub of where everything from real Apples to knockoffs are manufactured and going to see if I can score a cheap Android tablet which would suit all my needs and be a good coffee table thing as well.
