Thanx, i will try. I did see that section in the FAQ, but as I said, I was wondering about replacement batteries.

I will follow ur suggestion but even if it does extend the life of this battery, at some point I will have to get a new battery (we all will, won't we?).

So anyone who wants to share what kind of battery they've had the best value in for replacement will be appreciated, if anyone wants to share.

I have a friend w/ a blackberry & she got some bigger battery w/ a new bulge on the back of her machine that she says lasts a lot longer (& costs a lot more but her company covers her costs), but I don't want to go that route.

Thanks for your reply, and thanks in advance for anyone who has something to add about which replacement battery to get
