Battery Questions

How many of you guys buy an extra battery? Im thinking about buying an extra battery but not sure if I should. Im gonna get the Compal Hel80 with a 9cell battery. Should I get one, all im going to be doing is going to class with it and taking notes. So what do you guys reccomend?

 

i'm gonna buy a 9 cell soon, and use the 6 cell as a extra for like long trips

 

ne one else???

 

I don't use my computer on battery enough to warrant it, so I just stick with the one 9 cell.

 

I have two 9 cells for my E1505, Its pretty rare that I have to use both of them. But I figure that batterys die, and it might be nice to have another one around. Its also nice to have an extra with you just incase you forgot to charge the other one(I've had that happen a few times).

 

I just picked up an extra 12-cell on a forums site I frequent cheap so that I'll have an extra one (I already have a 12) when I'm at school all day and don't want to lug around the power brick. Otherwise, it'll come in handy to have one around in case I use it on batteries around the apartment too.

Can't wait til it comes in the mail.

PS...ya know a desktop battery charger would be great for those w/ second batteries and want to charge them at the same time.

 

where do you buy your batteries?

 

I got mine from a guy that was simply selling his off to get a new laptop so I'm not much help here...but sometimes if you can find a Web site dedicated to your notebook that has forums and all that, you can find good deals in the buy/sell forum if they have one.

Something to definitely consider!

 

I'm sure you could find some one ebay too, just make sure you buy from a good seller not a scammer. lol

 

I usually don't need an extra battery because I'm usually near an outlet.
