battery problem
Eric H asked:


Hey everybody, thanks for any responses. My laptop recently stopped working. It’s some sort of battery problem. The problem is, I don’t know whether it is with the battery pack or battery charger. I was wondering if there was some way to tell which one???

It’s out of warranty and the manufacturer wanted to charge me $35 for troubleshooting or drive 85 miles to troubleshoot at one of their locations.

Thanks

What is the expected life of a Laptop battery?

nehla s asked:


I have a Dell Inspiron 1525 with a 9 cell battery. May I know how long the battery will be good for use. Mine is just over a year old and refuses to charge. Till four days back it gave me a backup of about 4 hours regularly, but now its stuck at 14% and not charging. Is it usual for batteries to last only so long. The warranty ran out about 2 weeks ago, so Dell wont replace the battery. It is not an OS issue as the problem is common when I am using Windows Vista and Debian.
