    Hi, I have an IBM 600x laptop. I have found new batteries online,but since this machine is so old, I'd like to know how long a charge will last or shouild last with a new battery ? I'm sure it is not like todays batteries? Thanks, Tommy

    Can you run your laptop off AC power WITHOUT the battery installed?

    If so, only connect the battery once or twice a month, or so, to check that it is still holding a full, or nearly full, charge.
    That way you should get more life out of your battery.

    I got around 3 years battery life out of my old Gateway Solo 9300, that could NOT be run without the battery installed (even if the battery was stuffed).:D

    All laptops / batteries, are unique.
    What figures are quoted for one combination may be completely different to your combo.

    Sorry can't be more definite. Bazza
