I've had two lap top computers with Li-ion batteries.
Both died within 6 months.
Yes there light.
Yes they are rated with serious high Amp Hours ratings.
Yes they DIE when subjected to heat. Here in the S.W. USA that's a given.
Yes, I will never have another one.
I know this sounds Archaic but Nothing is better then Lead Acid or good ol NiCd.
This computer is working on my replacement NiCad battery 2 years now.
At first the Li Ion would give me 4 hours of run time.
In three months it went down to 2 hours.
In four months it was 30 minutes.
Replaced with NiCd and it would run for 2.75 hours.
2 years later it runs for 2.50 hours.
NiMh batteries are the same.
Run good for 6 months the crap out.
If let set Idle for two months they will not even take a charge.
Believe me or NOT, this is what I found and I'm back with the so called sorry NiCd batteries.
My Makita Drill came with NiMh batteris. They would not take a charge after sitting for a month.
Same with my ACER computer. Yep, Do what ya want.
I'm staying with the Old School NiCd.
All you have to do is run them all the way down after about 10 charges and there happy.
