    I have the new duracell battery installed and so far (30 minutes) have experienced no shutdowns or hibernations. Not sure about the run time yet as it arrived with a 94% charge. I am going to run it down, then recharge it and see how the run time is.

    The only thing I did was disable the isbmgr.exe program. The battery comes with a 30 day money back policy, so if I am not satisfied, I can always return it.
