    Should I get another battery for the Compal Hel80? The only time I will not be plugged in is when I'm in class. How about the people who bought the Hel80, did you buy the extra battery, and which one? Also how much battery life do you get? Thanks for the help! I will be getting the Compal Hel80 pretty soon from powernotebooks.com!

    The battery life on the HEL80 is 3.5 to 4 hours. If you need more battery life than this i would suggest getting the extra 9 Cell. :D

    I agree with ZaZ. Wait until you tell yourself enough times that "I should have bought the spare battery". Then come back to the Accessories Store and buy one.

    Otherwise it could end up just sitting in a drawer deteriorating over time.
