    I recently bought an Acer 3810T laptop. Really like it but if I let it site for more than a couple of days, the battery is completely dead. I charge it fully (blue light). Put it away for a few days, and no juice. I am running WIN7. I requested and received a new battery from Acer so I don't think it is the battery. Any ideas?

    My first non-Dell laptop and not too happy so far. At least my Dell's would still have power.

    Thanks.

    Hi,

    yes, this battery drain is some kind of "feature" :rolleyes: Same with 1810T series :(
    I wouldn't expect any fix. Unfortunately, I have no idea if other manufacturer's laptops behave the same.

    My other laptops don't have this "feature". Shame on me for not doing a more thorough review of this laptop. Hmmm. I think I need to sell this and go back to a Dell.
