Looking for a extended life battery for Lenovo V570

by mheck_man - 2/10/13 6:09 AM

I love my my Ideapad laptop, but the battery life is so poor, I rarely disconnect. Does anyone know where I can find a long life replacement battery? I have searched but have had no luck. Thanks!

I've yet to see such. Or rather, there was a company with longer life span batteries with 1000 cycles instead of the usual 300 but if you fit the biggest battery they offer it isn't any longer life (still 300 cycles) but since each cycle has more hours, the months you get out of a battery are higher.

Did you calibrate the battery?

I have re calibrated, but saw little change. Have re calibrated again so hopefully it will improve. Thanks!

Don't calibrate too often.

The battery only is rated for 300 cycles so I've seen folk calibrate monthly in hopes of more life. That's not helping. To get more life span in months, don't use the battery when there is power. Some folk don't get it until they have to replace the battery a few times.
