AREA 51 BATT SOLVED (pt. 2)

Ok, I was reading some of the responses to my first thread about the external battery for the area 51-m I found, and some people were saying that I was working for a small business and advertising or some ****. Here's the deal: all I wanted to do was help out some people who had the same battery problems as I did. I couldn't take my alienware to class b/c even with the secondary battery, it only lasted 1hr and 45min. (oh, by the way, if anyone else's laptop shuts off at 20% with no warning, please tell me how to get rid of that nonsense). So anyway, this battery I bought pretty much solved all of my problems. NOW, I can bring it to my 3 hour block of class and not worry about it dying on me. However, it does have its flaws. The battery itself is kinda heavy and it's about 7in by 4in by 1in. But besides stretching the term "portable", it helps me out tremendously. SO, to get back to these false claims, I hope you skeptical fools will actually do the research and maybe you'll find that it actually is a good deal, and possibly the only deal, considering the fact that no other external battery is compatible with alienware, as far as I've seen. Oh, and if you are reading this and have no idea what I am talking about, I posted a thread a few weeks ago about an external battery I bought from batterygeek.net or com. It adds about 3.5 hours to my area-51. Ok, so that's it. Quit reading this. NO, seriously, stop. Please stop. OK, good. I'm glad you stopped reading this, cuz I was getting upset. Wait! What the... YOU'RE STILL READING. ok, seriously, check out the battery, it's good.

Right click the battery next to your clock. Open power setting go to the alarms tab in the section where it says Activate low battery when power level reaches “I have it set to 9%” there is a button click on it check the boxes that say Sound alarm. Set the critical battery alarm lower than your low battery alarm thin click on the button check the box that says when the alarm goes off the computer will “I have it set to hibernate” pick what you want it to do.
