    I'm having an issue with my battery. I have an MT6707 and my battery wont last longer than 30 min. It seems to be getting less and less. I have my mode set as power saver and everything. Any ideas or solutions are greatly appreciated.

    My guess is, the battery is at least two years old, so you will need the new one, soon. The stock, 6-cell one is here, the 8-cell and the 12-cell battery.

    Martee is probably right, but I would say try recalibrating your battery in BIOS before you throw it away. Don't expect a miracle, but it helps. One note: it takes a lot of time.
