My laptop battery only runs my computer for five or ten minutes now. It's an older Gateway laptop and I can't find a replacement laptop battery for it anywhere. I'm going to get an external laptop battery for it, but I don't know what to look for. Your help is appreciated!

Longoria asked:

l've had my Toshiba laptop for about a year and a half now. Last week I got a new charger because it seemed like the old would not fully charge the laptop's battery. But this new charger acts the same way. It will charge the battery a little bit, but it's nowhere near a full charge as I can only run the laptop for about thirty minutes before it dies on me. Is there anyway that I can fix the charger myself or did I get a bad one?

Micahzola asked:

I have an Acer laptop that is fairly new. I live in a warm climate and when I operate my laptop it only runs for two to three hours on battery power. Is there any way that I can extend the operating time when I'm running on battery power?

Myleneane asked:

When I'm recharging my laptop's battery, do I need to recharge it completely first? How long will it take to charge the battery after the initial charging and conditioning cycles are done?

Also, if I use the laptop for an extended period of time, it will run out of battery power? Can I keep it plugged into the electrical outlet and just use it like a desktop PC?

Why does my laptop battery flash 25% and 75% when I press the battery button?

IntelligentMon asked:

Lately my laptop computer does not run on its battery power and I was trying to determining whether it was a problem with the battery or with the computer itself. When I press the button that is actually on the battery, it indicates either a 25% or 75% charge and that just doesn't make any sense to me. Does anybody know if this is a problem with the battery or with the laptop computer?

Laptop Battery?

Thenoobie asked:

I have a laptop computer that I've been using instead of a desktop PC. I have an external keyboard and mouse that I use instead of the small laptop ones. I also have a laptop battery that I have not used yet. It is the standard 9-cell battery that came with the computer.

Is there something I I can do now to extend the laptop battery's life before I first charge it since I've been using the computer with the wall charger so far? My brother told me to discharge it completely on a weekly basis and fully recharge it. I have also heard that leaving the laptop plugged in all the time is bad for replacement laptop batties.Is this true? And what should I do regarding my battery if im not really planning on using all that much?

I will be using the laptop solely on battery power when I go on trips and a lot of the time while I'm away at school.

Twisted Lew asked:

Why does the battery icon show up on the bottom of the laptop screen with the other icons when I have the laptop plugged into the charger? Do I have to unplug the laptop from the charger to use it?

Are Dell Inspiron laptop fans as quiet as Macbook fans?

Firestarter asked:

I will be buying a new laptop soon, and my major concern is the noise created by the laptop computer due to its fan operation. I work in a clinical environment and absolute silence is an absolute requirement at times.

Because of this, I am thinking about buying a Macbook because a co-worker has one and it is extremely quiet. However, I'd rather not spend this much on a laptop computer when I can get the same power in a PC for half to two-thirds the cost of the Macbook.

I'm hoping that you guys can tell me how much noise the Dell Inspiron makes and if its fan is quiet? I'd also rather get the Dell because it seems like replacement laptop batteries are available for them from generic battery manufacturers.
