My battery lasts only 1:40 hours, can I upgrade it? Im on the NC10…
I’ve recently bought a 9-cell 7800 mAh from http://www.laptop-adapters.co.uk. Cost – £35.21 + £4.87 p&p = £40.08. Ordered on 14 January – arrived yesterday 26 January from Hong Kong. Customs form marked as gift and, so far, I haven’t been charged import VAT nor the importer’s (Royal Mail) handling charge.
I’ve charged it once and run a BIOS battery calibration which lasted about 6.75 hours – so it seems kosher – but time will tell.
OO thank you 🙂
Could you take your battery out and see what the mAh rating of it is.
In addition to buying a new battery you may also want to make sure that you aren’t running any power hungry or generally useless software in the background like McAffe anti-virus or Adobe Acrobat.
You could download BattStat to check whether you power consumption is higher than normal. Of course the power consumption will vary depending on what you are doing.
Also installing a flash blocker and an ad blocker in your web browser can help, as Flash tends to be pretty power hungry.
Taken the plunge too TCMuffin and now awaiting delivery! What sort of duration does the battery run for?
Battstat is a good app and for me, when I was getting the same time as you (1h40) it app showed 30% battery wear and was replaced by Samsung under warranty. Now getting up to 3hrs but typically 2h30 approximately.
Just got the 9 cell battery too and very nice battery life. Couldn’t believe how light and weedy the 3 cell one was 😉 This looks nice and when on a desk the larger battery raises the keyboard nicely.
1hr40mins – that has got to be the 2200mAh battery (or whatever it is). Either that or you battery is duff:(
Strider – correct on both counts – 3 cell and was worn (but got warranty replacement)
Happy days then, did they give you another 2200mAh 3 cell battery or a 6 cell one??
