[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1541089, member: 56379"] Everyone's "benchmark" is a little bit different. It really all depends on how long do you NEED the computer to run off the battery before recharging. Or...what's the min. time you want to be able to use the computer on battery power only. For some folks...this can be as little as 30 minutes...for other folks 1 hour, and yet other folks 2 hours. It just depends. It also depends on how quickly (and able) someone wants to spend $129 for a new battery!;) Probably a pretty slow degradation in total battery run time on a single charge. If you're currently getting 4-5 hours on a single battery charge...it's not like 1 month from now it will be 1-2 hours. Just "go with the flow"...and casually monitor things.:) Don't let this rule your life!;) - Nick [/QUOTE]
