Well, I purchased a 3rd party battery about 3 or so years ago, and it just started acting up. It would only charge to 63%, and never go to 100%. So, I just purchased another 3rd party battery, not the same brand as the last one, and it seems to be working just fine. Murray

I probably should have listened to you guys when you griped about me jumping on the first thing that I came up with, but it seems to have turned out OK. The first battery I got from the Amazon vendor was apparently bad as it didn't even last 5 minutes, but the replacement battery is working over 2 hours according to the user. I think that in the future, I'll go with the OEM on batteries. :-) Thanks, all! ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin _____ No virus found in this message.
