Seems this battery issue is fairly far reaching. My sister in law here in TX has a newish DELL something 1100. It’s a Celeron anyway. The batts are already very poor. While visiting her this afternoon I picked up a science mag. and pointed out to her the comment that a battery…and they sited a DELL…could last 8.5 hours, but with the wireless gizmo on and running (hers is Linksys) it brought the time down to 2.0 hrs!!

It was an article on battery development, so the details on the computer were not very well defined. LR
