Laptop Batteries

I have had my laptop for over two years now, but I hardly use it so the battery is still pretty good on it. Krissy though, has one of those huge ones that is good for around eight hours, well now she’s lucky if she can get five out of the thing. Her’s is only a little over a year old, so it isn’t as old as mine. I told her that she is eventually going to need a new laptop battery. They are expensive, but if you can find a good deal on one, then you should definitely snatch it up because good deals on laptop batteries are few and far between.

When I was doing sound mixing and editing for a game in high school, I was using my teacher’s old IBM Thinkpad. That wouldn’t even hold a charge. It would need to be plugged in with the battery in it in order to work, the minute you unplugged it, it went dead. All it needed was a battery, but a new battery for it would have been more than the laptop would have been worth, so it really wasn’t worth it back then. Last I heard that old machine was being donated to a class at Brookdale Community College
