Re: Do Wallstreet batteries last longer than a year?
Thanks. The battery reset has proven that the battery won't hold more than 14%. It's time to get a new one. I also see that they are at Ebay (buy it now) for $85. __ Do you Yahoo!?

LaptopsBatteries.com has them for $104... Maybe they *should*, but on my Pismo both the original Apple battery and the BTI I replaced it with lasted a little over a year. Not sure if that's the same battery as on the Wallstreet, though. Now if LaptopsBatteries.com has the NewerTechnology battery for the Pismo at that price, I'm interested (the NT battery is a 5400ma-hour battery supposedly, vs. the original Apple's 4800ma-hour). The Newer Tech battery is supposed to last longer between charges (so in theory, it should last longer total time). Anyone out there who has the NewerTech battery and has used it for a longer period of time (and can report their experiences for the list and me)?
