Hi Harald,
The laptop battery you ordered is in shortage. ASUS keeps postponing
the ETA. At this time, you can it to send Asus for service instead of
purchasing a new one. We can keep your order open and wait for battery
to come in if you want and check it you still want it before we ship.
Thanks,
Molly
