AMAZON LAPTOP BATTERY Ripped Off Again!
Twice in a row is too much. Before salivating cracking your knuckles and preparing a "something's wrong with your laptop" answer - the priginal old battery still charges to 100% indicated but lasts 20 min. A standard capacity replacement acted the same but lasted 35 minutes and self discharged in a week outside of the machine laying on a table
The new extra capacity battery started out charging to 18% on the tray indicator then dropped percentage wise by the day. Now it's at zero and unplugging the brick is instantaneous shutdown with erroressage upom restart. The battery in direct 12.0 volt recharge refuses to take 5 milliamps right to the prongs.
Can I make a cost effective separate battery input for the nightmare? A ox with a handle and roughly 20 volts supplied perhaps at a 10 amp hpur capacity? Lugging around an AGM battery and inverter for the brick is rubber-room grade rationale. The recharging of a home brew 19.5 volt battery is right up my alley but the lithium ion battery source is not. Yes I know the pecularities of lithium ion overcharge and undercharge and current limits.
One source wants seventy dollars plus shipping for a "guaranteed original" battery for the Gateway. I may even have to settle for Nickel Metal Hydride. But 10lbs battery weight is the limit.
Some hot spots in Mexico do not have an outlet within a hundred meters.
