Laptop Batteries

[Angel By Name]

Where is the best place to get a battery for a laptop and what kind of run-time should I expect to get from a new battery?

It realy depends on the machine and usage.

My XPS battery will run for about 90 mins with light usage or 60 if I am transfering files to disk for example.

Tell us what laptop you have and we can find you one

My media laptop probably does an hour and 10 under load but its HUGE my girlfriends netbook get about 2-3hours

A standard laptop (15") can usually be around 1.5hours but theres no hard and fast rule really.

The one I have lasts just over an hour or so at full tilt but a bt longer if I change the settings so maybe its not that bad after all?

Never had a laptop and assumed would last around 6-8hrs!

I must think much more of technology than it thinks of me...
