Got a question for those more technologically inclined than I:
Last year, I acquired an older laptop. It works fine, but the battery holds a max of about 20 minutes’ worth of charge. I’m guessing this is due to the age of the battery, and perhaps a few years of disuse.
What I’m wondering is whether it’s worth my while to get a replacement battery. Sony no longer makes it, but I have found some vendors online that have it in stock. But if age and disuse are the problem, will I have the same issue with a replacement? After all, even if it’s brand new, it’s been sitting on a shelf for years.
So is finding a battery for an older laptop a lost cause? Or is there hope?
(This isn’t that big a deal, really. It’s not like I write in coffee shops. I would just like the option to do so, should the need arise.)
Thanking you in advance . . .
ETA–Thanks, all, for the good advice. Looks like I’m getting a new battery. Maybe even two.
