41058 2002-03-31 01:47:00 Have you replaced a Compaq Armada E500 Notebook battery recently? (Not the E500s Notebook model) How much did you have to pay, inc GST?

I'm trying to find the cheapest place to get a replacement Lithium Ion battery (11.1 V / 4.8Hr) and would like some information please. I live in the South Island. Thanks ? Mike.

41061 2002-03-31 06:10:00 Not sure for real or urban legend, but someone posted here recently about putting a laptop battery in the freezer, then letting it warm naturally for a day before using it - apparrently got good results. Guest (0)
41062 2002-03-31 09:47:00 The freezer trick works wonders. Put the battery in a plastic bag and then stick it in the freezer for a day then let it warm up naturally and recharge. Will almost be as good as new Guest (0)
41063 2002-03-31 10:12:00 Well it doesn't hurt to try if it's money saved so I'll do as suggested and post the results this coming Thursday to give the battery time to freeze, thaw, recharge and have a few days use first.

Regards Mike.
