    I have been trying to do some upgrades on my Toshiba Satellite M45 S165. I increased Ram to the 2 gig max (what a difference that made) and one of the irritating things is that if I am on battery I don't get much more then an hour and 15 mins or so. Is it possible to upgrade the battery to a longer lasting one? I think the battery is a 4 cell lithium battery. I am assuming that space may be a factor. But, I also know that technology and efficiency improves as well. Thanks in advance for the help.

    Grab an 8 cell, you will be much happier, they do stick out the back about an inch.
