Default Laptop Battery

Is there any way to get longer use out of a laptop battery? I have to use my laptop for about 45 minutes every day on battery for work and at the end of that, I am getting the prompt to plug it in. I am trying to avoid buying a new battery or laptop.

Not really with the existing battery. You could try turning down the display brightness, making sure that you are not using the DVD/CD drive. Only other thing to do, is get something like http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....=1157068454808
