| Toshiba Battery Hi, I am new to the Tablet PC forum. I own a Toshiba Protege Tablet PC. I have horrible battery life, <30 min on full charge when running Office. Does anyone know of alternative, long-lasting batteries available for Toshiba model Tablet PCs? Ideally, I would like to carry my Tablet around for a few hours, copying things down in a school environment. |

| Re: Toshiba Battery Toshiba batteries are infamous. Most are fine, and have the life you'd expect. But about one in 10-15, based on my experience supporting them as an IT director, just doesn't have any life at all. When you get one like that, keep it as an emergency spare, and buy another. Brand isn't all that important, look for total amp/hours. I think I used to get mine from 1-800-batteries, now known as www.igo.com -- they weren't the cheapest, but they had a _complete_ selection for every device I had to support. -- Charlie. javabean260 wrote: > Hi, I am new to the Tablet PC forum.

| Re: Toshiba Battery Your battery is probably around 1.5 years old or more. First they last for 3H and dropping. Buy new one.
