Replacement laptop battery
I've got a 3 year old Aspire 3002LCi. A software diagnostic reported my battery as being only 44% even though it was fully charged. Not too surprising as since day one I've been lucky to get 30 minutes of battery time. Guess the time to consider a replacement has arrived. Any recommendations or warnings? Obviously those with the same model I hope will add to the comments. |

Make sure the battery is the same model as the one you have. |

I had good luck on ebay..Price about 1/2 of usual price.I do not have the same model as you, but I suppose that you have followed the calibration instructions which include a complete charge and discharge in order to get the charge indicator to read correctly. The replacement battery should be completely discharged and fully recharged about three times although it is a Lithium..Mine was four years old..Luck!!! |

In other words is the battery performance and better than that which shipped new on the computer? |
