these new cheap core 2 due laptops - any good?
Ralf Maximus:
The freezer trick is one I use on my Dell batteries, with about a 75% success rate. The original big battery that came with my 2003 Latitude still delivers about 3 hours.
Glad it's working for others! I wish I could remember who taught me this so I could pass on the credit...
Mandork:
Huh. Does it work for other kinds of batteries, too? Like old ordinary rechargeables (and my aging pocket PC)? I might have to experiment.

BTW ralph, do you completely discharge your battery before putting it in the freezer, or do you instead charge it ?
Thanks in advance... :)

bumpy bumpy bump.
Darwin? Ralph?
Darwin:
Sorry, Armando. It's been CRAZY around my house for the last couple of days. I just threw my battery in the freezer. I'd probably discharged it to 50% before storing it... but didn't check it.
