    Hi,

    If I have a spare battery for my Inspiron 9400 and charge it up in the machine, how long will it keep the charge for ?

    Is it indefinite, or will it lose charge over a period of days or weeks?

    Thanks

    Philip

    I usually store my original 6 cell for my Inspiron 6000 for long periods. I only take it out when I need it for a little extra juice. Like when I'm going on car trips. I always put it away charged up to 100%. It still holds a full charge everytime I do use it. =)
