I got an IBM Thinkpad R40e about 2.5 years ago, I used it on a regular basis, but not every day. Recently the battery doesn't hold anywhere near the charge it used to, I could get at least an hour playing Civilization III (a fairly processor intensive game), but now it barely lasts 20 minutes.
I am probably expecting too much from a battery of this age, but does anyone else have the same experience ?
Also, any advice on getting a replacement battery, I see lots of non-IBM compatible batteries around, is it wise to go for non-IBM made ?
