Well, I'm wondering with every word I type, if it will be my last for a while. My laptop keeps telling me that my battery is reaching the end of it's usable life. DH is supposed to be ordering me one right now. Geez, this is the 2nd battery I have gone through; I got my laptop Nov 2005.
So, we'll see how long this one will let me stay connected to the internet world. I've plugged my pc in, but my light is really fading. Poor lil battery~ didn't stand a chance. So, I may be around or >>>>>> goodbye cruel internet world. *until my new one arrives* Keep the light on for me.

The top of the line Batteries last typically for 5 thousand hours. If you use your battery to run that thing everyday all day it will be on for almost 9 thousand hours. so, if you only run it 12 hours a day or leave it sitting in the on position it would be almost 4 thousand hours. Now, that would be if your battery was the best battery ever, and always kept in excellent condition. The average battery, in the average lap top only lasts about 3 thousand hours.
Take heart, as technology progresses we are making longer lasting batteries, and using greener technology to make our laptops. Till then, we keep shelling out money to replace those puppies.

Well, I'm still able to get online, but it's fading on me. *SOB*
One computer whiz told me to leave my pc plugged in most of the time and just run the battery down every once in a while and another told me to use it on battery until it's almost ready to recharge and then plug it in. What to do?? What to do?? DH ordered my new battery last night. (knocking on monitor) Hewoh!! Anyone in there??? Everyone is fading~~~~~~~~~~

The FIRST time you use your battery, RUN IT TO EMPTY! then charge it completely. After that, you can charge it when ever you see it running towards the 1/4 to 1/3 line. I typically leave mine plugged in 90% of the time, and only use the battery to run mine when not near a plug or while mobile. I have had mine since 2001, and never replaced the battery.
