No that is not an answer to a Jeapordy question. It is something that comes to mind right now. Besides dryer fuses (a whole other blog entry), a spare laptop battery would be real handy. I really need one.

When life was better, ie my laptop was new, it seemed that I could survive a lot longer on my battery. Now, not so much. And to think my laptop is only a year old. Now granted, I don’t go off the grid often, where I need my battery. Most of it’s life is seated here on my desk. But there are times when I like to use my laptop on the battery, say like driving.

Laptop Batteries can be very expensive when you buy them straight through your manufacturer. I don’t even want to think about what Gateway wanted to charge me. I passed on it when I got this. But now the $80 for my model at Laptop Batteries isn’t looking so bad to me.

And now, cause I know you all are dieing to know. I stored my driving directions on my laptop when I went home. Pretty useless if you are in the car needing directions and your laptop battery is dead.

Lesson learned. Get a spare. Keep it charged. You never know when it may just come in handy!!!
