Deep Cycle Battery for laptop?

Could anyone tell me if this deep cycle battery would be good for my little Asus Eee PC:

http://www.jaycar.com.au/productView...y&form=KEYWORD

Specifications:
SB-1698
Terminal voltage: 12V
Nominal capacity at 25°C: 20 hour rate: 26Ah
Capacity at 0°C: 85%
Self discharge: 9% after 3 months (residual capacity 91%)
Dimensions: 165(W) x 172(D) x 130 (H)mm
Weight: 8.35kg

I need it to be able to power laptop running CDC for about 6-7 hours the most.

Can anyone recommend some other ones like from SuperCheapAuto maybe or some other shop?

The laptop battery used to last for up to 8-9 hours. And thats why I bought it, but now it lasts only for about an hour. I can get replacement laptop battery for about $70 dollars but not sure how good they are since its from Internet. Many claim its Australian website or company only when you order its from Hong Kong or China.

cheers

bob
