Toshiba Satellite M35X laptop, battery problem
by bredf331 - 8/8/06 5:01 PMThis laptop is about 2 years old and the battery died, although I rarely use the battery alone mostly I use the AC adapter. Is this a "normal" life for this battery? Is it okay to run the laptop on just AC power alone? If I don't need to spend $175 on a new battery, I don't want to!
No such thing as normal

But, no, you don't need a new battery if you're going to be using AC power only. The laptop will continue to run just fine that way.
battery life and AC power for Toshiba laptop
by bredf331 - 8/9/06 6:28 AM In reply to: No such thing as normal by jnbhowardWell I knew I could depend on CNET to answer my question. When I called Toshiba customer service with the same question (using the AC power only), they told me not to use the AC power for anything except trouble shooting because it could cause internal damage.
As for my battery short life, I suspect I may have had a faulty AC adapter and this resulted in the battery being used more than I realized.
Thanks for your answers!

I would recommend a site called http://www.laptopsforless.com/laptopbattery to find a replacement battery. It is way more affordable than going through the manufacturer and way faster. Hope it helps, it has definitely saved me a time or two.
You appear to be spamming.
