Notebook Battery
I just recently got a notebook computer for Christmas. I husband got it for me because he knew I needed it for my work. I wanted to have something that was portable, so I asked for a laptop instead of a desktop computer. We still have a desktop in our home, and I have found that I do not like to use it now that I have my notebook. When I travel, I will look forward to having my computer with me. The only problem is I do not know how long my notebook battery will work before I have to find an outlet. I have used my notebook exclusively in my home. I have not had a chance to travel with it yet, and have not found the need to use the battery. I did some experimenting however, and I allowed it to work on the notebook battery to see how long it would last. I put together a picture CD for a friend of mine, and spent about an hour doing so. I was dismayed to find that after that hour had passed, I only had 65% of my notebook battery power left. I don’t know if that was just because I was using the CD burner, but I have a feeling that the battery will not last as long as I needed to.
This means that I will probably have to go out and buy one or two new batteries for my laptop. I do not know what a notebook battery costs, but I am almost afraid to ask. However if I am going to be traveling, I do want to know that I have all of the battery power that I need. When I use my laptop in a hotel, I know that I will have power nearby. However, when I want to use it anywhere else, I am going to have to use the battery power. Depending on how long the notebook battery will last, I may have to limit the time I use my computer away from an outlet.
Along with buying a new notebook battery, I will have to have a way to recharge it. I know the one in my laptop recharges itself when you plug in the AC power. When I have an extra notebook battery or two, I will have to have a charger that will charge them separately. There is no way to charge them all at once. When I travel, it will be a good idea to have the notebook battery within my notebook charged, as well as having an extra one ready to go. I am really surprised that the battery does not last any longer than it does, because I thought that was the whole purpose of a laptop computer.
