Well, I am not really sure to be honest - the main issue is that the
battery does not in fact actually ever charge up completely - There were
issues with my previous battery (completely dead wouldn't charge) - and
then this battery, at one point was down to 4 minutes of lifetime before
it would shut down the laptop, and now it is suddenly charging all the
way again (God I love Dell - actually, I can't complain, a LUG member
gave me the laptop because I am a Gentoo dev working on Gentopia and he
loves the fact that people are working on making the Linux desktop
easier to use) - but anyways - basically, for whatever reason, it keeps
telling the system that it fully charged the battery every 10 seconds or
so - It has actually stopped doing it, but the info is good to know.  I
wouldn't notice - except that the laptop is to my right while I am at
work, and that is where I instant message from, so any time something
flashes on the screen, it grabs my attention.
