Hi,
I have an Evesham C510 notebook, and I've been having battery problems since I bought it last year. The first battery lasted 3 months before dying completely. The current battery is about a year old and recently its capacity has dropped to less than 50% (i.e. the charge indicator will rise to ~45% but goes no higher). That '~45%' does not appear to be consistent either - the maximum charge seems to fluxuate. Also, the battery seems to be charging more slowly than it did previously.
I have the following info on the battery:
Manufacturer: ASUSTEK
Make: Li-Ion Battery Pack A42-M7
Rating: +14.8V - 4400mAh
Model: Z7100VP 24M
The battery is described by Evesham as being 8-cell but I used Battery Eater Pro program and it tells me that it is 4-cell.
Any thoughts on this would be much appreciated! But my main question is whether I should buy
another new battery from Evesham or if (and this is the naive question) there are other makes of battery that would fit my laptop?
Many thanks!
