Now when I turn it on the icon tells me that 2:09 hours are left with only 7% of the battery remaining. Is this a malfunction or did something magically lengthen my battery life?

The battery tends to die faster if you keep it charged for a long period of time even after its done charging. wall outlets do not know when to stop charging.

These are really helpful tips, especially for someone who is on campus a lot, and away from a charger. I really need to remember to dim the screen on my computer since it is a huge power-waster.

OK, the tips are really useful! Thanks for them! Hope my battery will last longer from now on.Hibernation has always been flaky at best. I’ve lost more work due to hibernation over the year than I care to remember…I say, Standby is the way to go!

Hi, Thanks for sharing these tips. Also should the laptop be kept on power source always so that it does not drain any battery, or should I always take the power cord off when laptop is fully charged and let it drain and then put the charge back. I really dont know which would be the best way to keep the laptop battery long life. In a few months time my laptop battery is down 15 min. Its Dell 1425.

My batteries dont last more then a year. I was told that the Siemens batteries are known to not last. Anyone know if this is not true.
