FYI, IBM batts are pretty good. The one's i'm using at office is already.... 3-4 years old? and it's still running fine. i still can get 1 hour plus on this x21. mind you the batt on the X21 is SMALLLLL
Well said! Yea, the user have to be careful of their laptops. I got a Win95 NEC laptop at home and it is still runing well....I think it is 9 years-old right now.
Hm.... this came out a month after i bought my 1682WLMi.... at the same price too! How i wish i got 1692WMLi instead of 1682WLMi....
I don't think IBM has much to do with battery technology. IMHO, it depends more on how the user treats the battery. My old Fujitsu P2040's battery is still running well too, and it's not an IBM. But that's because I usually run it off AC power. So does my brother (who's using it now). Take a look at the BenQ notebooks we bought. Same notebooks bought at the same time. My battery health is still at 100% but yours is faltering a bit, right?
When did I say IBM has anything to do with it? I only meant they source the better quality ones for their notebook. and mind you, I always keep the BenQ on A/C and while it's ok.. i feel that the batt is really bad and lousy. only one or two times drained and it wears off the charge already. WTF man. one or two times only. and this also becuase Highpoint took two bloody weeks to repair my machine.
how do you make the battery life last longer? i heard somewhere(dunno where already lar) that you should always take out the battery when you use AC, and that will make the battery last longer? is that true?
Eh, really?? But I thought you always use it on the go?? I mean, I've seen you using the notebook on battery charge at Starbucks, etc.
if doing so just for 2-3 times down to 10-20% also can kill a battery that is less than 1/2 years old, i rest my case man.
Yeah I seldom use my battery, but at least once every 3 to 6 months I did drain my battery as suggest by IBM documentation (But now I heard that it's not actually good to your battery).

Yeah rite... I don't believe a word you said whoever you are... Everyone, report to police... Jet killed CS5.
