One of the sales reps here at the office keeps leaving the power cord for his laptop at home. Something I can’t understand how he keeps doing it, but some how he does. He also spilled sweat tea on the last one so this laptop is a newer model. He asked today about getting a second power cord and where he could get it, maybe I should suggest a laptop battery as well?

I’ve looked at getting a spare batter for myself, I could use one on fireworks shows when I’m not near an outlet (this laptop goes through power like Jason through deep fried snickers) and on longer trips it would be handy as well. Prices are the prohibiting factor, though LaptopsForLess seems to have the edge on pricing. Plus, I can order from them any time online.

There are some things you can do to help laptop batteries last longer. At least once a week, make sure to run your laptop with out the power cord attached to drain the battery. Make sure to allow for adequate airflow around the laptop itself and keep the fans and air intakes clean. Simple measures can keep your new batteries running like pro’s.
