Re: Laptop Battery

[Don <dr2@xxxxxxxx>]

Well, mine's been running 24x7 fine now since 1/1....I'll let you know in 6 
months.   And Dennis travels with his about every week and so far TSA 
hasn't bitched..I think he has to disconnect it and run it through in a 
seperate tray...   I'm off on a plane next weekend...I'll let you know how 
much the nonthinkers give me in terms of grief...I can imagine how much 
they're freak if I took some insects on the plane with me that were pinned 
and mounted.... :) :)

if the connectors come lose or wear out, I'd say a call to APC should get a 
replacement...but I plug mine in and just leave it all plugged in...and 
it's been really nice not to have my T40 die in the middle of a meeting....:)
