If you are running your laptop continuously you might want to get one of those laptop coolers. Generally they are a thin piece of aluminum with two fans. It lifts the laptop up and blows air under it. My Compaq now recharges the battery 100% and maintains it! Before the cooler was installed, the only way I could get the battery to charge was to turn off the machine for a while and let it cool down. My brother;s Dell runs so cool the fans no longer come on where they were running all the time. I picked up a couple of the things at a computer show in LA for about 20 bucks. You may be able to find some on the net for around that price. Richard
