Rebuilding the battery for me Evo N610c

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
I get about an hour of use out of it, just doing basic word processing stuff. It is probably likely that I can buy some new battery for relatively little money and get much more time out of it. I am wondering if I spend a little more money and rebuild the battery myself (replace the cells inside the battery) if I can get a significant amount of time out of the battery - maybe even surpassing original specs. The reviews I have read say it will (actually) provide 3-3.5 hours when it is new. I would love to get 5...but who wouldn't!!

There is plenty guide on the net showing as how to rebuild a notebook battery. I myself am not so fond of it due to a possibility of bricking the system

cheers ...

If you truly love the design, built quality but want more battery life, get a N620c.
You will upgrade from a Pentium4m to a Centrino processor (likely 1.4GHz). Laptop gets less hot, you safe plenty of watts and it is much faster.
You can swap most parts except for the motherboard.
(Ram, Power Supply, Optical Drive, Battery....)
You can also swap the Hard Drive but Windows may not be too happy about the new environment (try&error)

A look at Ebay suggests that you can fetch one for less then $80 in working condition.

Not exactly an answer to your problem but worth suggesting I thought...
