    I think I have a defective battery, it appears to last about 10 minutes in power saving mode. Is there any laptop battery conditioning software out there? I'll be calling Tech support on Monday to see if I can get a replacement, but would love to here any others with similar problems.

    Hi Dhonzik,
    10 minutes in power saving is definitely not normal. I run mine on high performance and usually get around 30-45 minutes depending on what I'm doing. The m9750 tends be quite power hungry. I would call tech support as soon as you can. Tech support runs 24/7, even though they might not be able to ship you another battery until Monday.

    Hope this helps,
    Gabe
