I got my new battery for my laptop today. They shipped it out on monday, got the cheapest shipping one to six buisiness days. Takes less then a day to get to where I live, from where I ordered it. The battery is charging. It came charged at around 70%. Clicking the button on the battery, that shows you how much battery life is left, actually showed something. It was on 80, my dead battery doesn’t show anything, no green light, nothing.
Update
It works! I’m completely wireless now. Up stairs in the living room typing this. Have 2.52 hours of battery life, no power management stuff on. Other then the screen not being as bright. I turned powersaved off, because thats the only thing really that could of been causing my computer to lock up. Started locking up after I installed that.
Update
I followed this speed step guide, an alterntive to powersaved.
Update
This battery lasts to long! It says an hour left, think I’ve been running it off the battery since 6 pm or around 6 pm, and its 8:45 pm. Now it says around 50 minutes. Now 48 minutes. Probably because I started to use it, so I guess it can just sit idle for a long time. Haven’t been using it because Jeff brought a computer over, that he got for free from work. If I ever get service pack 2 installed I might post something about it.
