markiemrboo Posted September 22, 2004 Posted September 22, 2004 It's an older nimh battery, not lithium-ion. According to the press release it's supposed to last upto 2 hours 30 minutes max with my laptop. When I got it second hand a few months ago it'd last about... an hour full load, now it's like...dead as soon as I unplug the power adapter (found out today, probly left it running on mains too long or something?!). Maybe the circuitry in the battery is naffed, dunno. I was thinking about trying my hand at replacing the cells in it. Figured I might aswell give it a shot if it's knackered anyway. Should I be expecting to see some sorta water in there or something? I know car batteries have de-ionised water in them somewhere, although I don't quite know why Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

markiemrboo Posted September 22, 2004 Posted September 22, 2004 lol seriously? I can't even figure how to get this thing open. It's sealed, no screws or anything. Guess I have to hack it open. I've ordered a new battery, cost Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
