Wife's battery was kind of a PITA, has to dick around with the bolt; some of which had turned to some kind of steel salt, sulfate I guess, what sort of acid is those things any way. Have a sealed one now, so parking it on the steep driveway without a problem. My own fault for not thinking of it, probably need to paint the battery tray a bit too, need to check it out when it is light and not raining.


Laptop battery dying, are the remanufactured ones any good?

 

just use the plug. :dunno: i only use my laptop battery if there is no plug available.

 

And this is why your laptop is useless if you actually have to take it anywhere.

 

how come?

 

Keeping a laptop or any other Li+ batter plugged in constantly wrecks the living hell out of the battery 9.5/10 times. Those batteries need to go through cycles.

If you do that for a while and unplug it for use on the go, your batter my last 1 hour as opposed to 6 or 7.

 

oh that blows... i always keep my laptop plugged in h: ... mostly to be able to use it on "max" settings...

 

I did the same with both my old laptop and my iPod.

After I unplugged both of them, they went from 100% to dead in less than an hour.

 

myth

 

I just unplugged my laptop :hsugh:

 

:dunno: and?

one of my lap tops wont start if the battery is in it.
