---------------------- multipart/mixed attachment Don, Less than a year ago i bought a battery off of E-Bay and found that it held just about as much charge as the one it was supposed to replace. This was less than I had hoped for. I e-mailed the guy who sold it to me and to his credit he promptly shipped out another one. This second effort was only slightly better than the first. For almost a year now i have been carrying around 3 semi - chargable Lithium Ion batteries which, when new, should give me a usable time of about 2 1/2 - 3 hours. 3 Batteries are getting kinda heavy. Where would I find such a "battery depot"? Your not talking about Radio Shack are you? they seem to be getting more worthless with each passing year. I pried open one of these packs for my Toshiba Satellite and found 9 (I think) cells that look about the size of AA's and they're all soldered together. Are you saying that such a "battery depot" would solder in new ones for me? Wow! That would be great!!! I'm thinking that the reason I got the 2 low life ones from e - Bay is that they were nearer the end of their shelf life than the beginning. It would seem that such a "battery depot" might have fresher stock. please forward whatever info you may have. I've nursed this laptop along this far. I see no reason to stop now. Thanks!
