Low battery time?

[rosen]

When bying my VAIO K415B in the specs was said the battery life is 105 min. I have never got more than 55 min. It's from the very beginning. What could be the reason?
And the fan is always running. I have another laptop-Toshiba.It stays on battery for almost 2.5 hours and the fan is working occasionally-just when too many programs are running.

Would 25-45 minutes be quite low?

It is the maximum I can juice out of my laptop at the moment. A new VAIO battery is on its way when Amazon decide to send it.:smileyrolling_eyes:

Thanks mate. I thought that was very low.

The battery is showing 1% wear as well according to mobilemeter. I am a little concerned by this as I thought my VAIO battery would do much better.

I am eagerly awaiting my new battery which is delayed another 6 weeks! Curse AMAZON!!!:smileygrin:

I would send this laptop back to Sony but I actually need it at the moment at Uni - so it would have to wait until May 2006.:smileysad:

I am not doing well, what with the fact Sony failed to fix my LCD inverter, and the battery is just well cr4p. I hope I might be lucky second-time around with Sony. *sigh*

yep, I had some toasts and coffee in this time. And there was something in TV.:smileyblush: So, I need a bit more time then, sometimes.

Shame you can't hire a laptop for a few weeks James
