| 1370275 | 2014-03-15 21:35:00 | The battery on lap top gave up the ghost, so ordered a new one off trade me. Question is, the max I can get of newwy is 35 mins, can I auto assume that the new battery is at fault. I am thinking of possible excuse from Trade Me. Thanks lads. |

Does the manufacturer state an expected run time in the specs any where? I know the one in the past lasted longer than half an hour!. CPU loading is normal. |

| 1370279 | 2014-03-16 15:57:00 | What kind of seller did you get it from? Is it a genuine or a generic one? Generic I would say. Outfit that sells batteries on Trade me. They will no doubt replace, I wondered if there was a possible problem with laptop. |

Its just not that good. - you'll need to find what the actual batt life should be for your lappy, actual, not manufactures BS times. - lappy batts do come in various capacities, even genuine can have different options, bigger/smaller capacity - it may be, old stock, lower capacity, or just a rubbish batt The notebook repair specialist we sent NB's to, doesnt recommend generics, too many issues with them. How much did you pay, how does that price compare to genuine. |

Cost $53 landed. |
