L501X Battery

Is there a flat battery available for the L501X. I liked the idea of a built-in stand at first, but now I'm seeing it prevents my laptop cooler from doing its thing since the laptop is always raised.  I can't quite tell from the images so I was hoping someone on here knows if there's a replacement battery I can get that doesn't raise the computer up. 

Thanks!

I believe that the six cell battery (part #W3Y7C) lies flat and doesn’t elevate the notebook like the nine cell battery.  Having the notebook raised with the nine cells though should actually help keep the notebook cooler.

Terry, thanks for replying!

I did a search for that part number and nothing came up. Is it the same as the 6-cell battery I found with:

"Manufacturer Part# J70W7

Dell Part# 312-1123"

?

Is there any confirmation that the 6-cell will lie flat? I want to be sure before I purchase it.

Thanks, again!

Yeah from my information the six cell batteries lie flat while the nine cell batteries will raise the system.
