ACER Battery

anil099 · 10-02-2007, 06:08 PM

I have an Acer 5601 and bought it a year ago and it came with a 8-cell battery...which lasts a good 4-5 hours..but after a year now It dies in an hour...where can i get a new battery i cant find it anywhere for this model...are batteries model specific or just brand specific? should i get anohter 8 cell or should I bump up thanks!

I'm curious, did you always plug it in if you only used the battery for say, 15 minutes, or did you let the battery run down before plugging it in again?

anil099 · 10-02-2007, 07:24 PM

Most of the time I used it was on campus so it wasn't plugged in..I wud charge it overnight, take to campus (maybe plug it into one class for an hour?) and then the rest of the day it was on battery....unless it ran out then i carried the cord with me just in case (but rarely need it) now i need it after every class....

why? is that a factor in battery life?

where would i find batteries for Acer 5601 anyways? acer site or another site? and like i asked is it model specific or can different models fit into one brand type....thanks hope that makes sense?

what battery wud u reccoemmdn ..my price range is under $100 preferably..as low as they come obviously but i nee AT least an 8 cell if not more

does it still have a warranty on it?

anil099 · 10-02-2007, 08:02 PM

No I don't think so...I think most warranties are 1 year...I remember i got mine on a labor day sale last year for a nice deal so its october...anyways...money isn't too big of a deal I was just having trouble Finding a battery in the first place for it...I googled it but no luck

its an Acer 5601 AWLMi and it already has an 8 cell battery

how long are batteries supposed to last anyways? a year? mine lasted a year and a month or so..

I think so I was looking at that....but I can't decipher the ratings

what does 4.4 amps....4400 mah...14.8 volts...and 65.12 watts...and lithium ion mean....

i mean i know lithium is better htan nickel..but how much battery life are we talking..mine just said 8 cell battery when i bought it...whats the measurement of how long the battery will last for each charge? mah? amps? volts? watts? or cells

if so how is this relative to an 8 cell battery?

Right now I have a 14.8V 4800 mAH battery

thats the max i saw for it and how long they last depends on how much you use it and there isn't anything I know of to make a battery last longer just make sure that u use the battery and don't have it charging all the time
