I contacted Dell and they replaced the original backup battery.  In = the meantime I purchased a backup battery from a friend who is a whole = seller of batteries.  He measured the "defective" battery and claim = that the battery is still good. Since than I bought 4 separate backup batteries from my friend because = for no reason at all I have been receiving warning messages about low battery = charge. Before I pursue this problem any further I decided to experiment.  = Using two batteries which were "defective" I replace one with the = other when I received the warning.  Interestingly enough when I replaced = the old battery with the "new" defective battery all looked = well.  Backup battery showed 100%.  The next time I checked the battery in = the system it showed 70% charge only. (I haven't used the computer at = all)  At other times when I replaced the battery with a "new" old = battery it showed 100% and then within 2 seconds the bar got empty and showed = 0%.  This happened several times.  Sometimes I was able to use the = computer with the "defective" reading at other times the dropped down = window kept warning me. Interestingly enough I have 5 backup batteries (CR 2032 Lithium) which = read being fully charged when I measure the charge with a meter outside of = the computer, but from the computer I am getting warning messages of low battery = charge. What makes me suspicious is that it happens irregularly.  In = another word this problem occurs intermittently. When the main battery charge shows 70% I always recharge it.  I do = not drain the batteries.  Also I am semi retired meaning that I do not = tune and use the computer every day.  It happened in the past that the = computer was sitting in the cradle for days and when I checked the charge level = it showed less than the previous time. The computer is used only for tuning pianos using Tune-Lab.  There = are no other files such as calendar, customer files, etc. My questions are: What am I doing wrong? Anybody had this experience? What was the solution? Any feed back would be appreciated. George Takats<o:p></o:p> </div> </body> </html>
