RE: 3rd Party laptop batteries

2011-03-12 Thread RichardMcClary 
Laptop batteries have been known to have serious issues, specifically 
extreme over-heating.  I'd be more concerned about that than the fact that 
they don't hold a charge very long...

How many "3rd party" battery vendors will stand behind the damage this may 
cause?

RE: 3rd Party laptop batteries






My cheap 3rd party battery gave good runtime when it was first installed
too, but that didn't last a year.  Your jury is still out.

Ok... 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!

RE: 3rd Party laptop batteries

2011-03-11 Thread MMF 
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.

Yeah... I learned my lesson on that one. *crossing fingers* So far, the 3rd
party A/C adapter seems to be working... and we don't have any TV to cause
interference with, so that's not an issue. :-)

I have NEVER had good luck w/ aftermarket batteries (or AC adapters).
Batteries never seem to last, and AC adapters have caused TV
interference.
