Rockin' a new battery
My tablet's battery has been steadily declining the past several weeks. Still holds a charge, but barely an hour's worth, So I decided to replace it.
Bought my new battery on eBay (http://tinyurl.com/2342y3) (of course). It's a compatible, not a Toshiba branded replacement (http://www.toshibadirect.com/td/b2c/adet.to?seg=HHO&poid=322636). Not as beefy (4400 mAh vs. 5200 mAh of the current generation replacement), but it was about half the cost. I figure if I need more juice, I could get another for backup, and I'm keeping the original battery in my pack for that purpose.
I had considered getting the slice expansion battery (http://www.toshibadirect.com/td/b2c/adet.to?coid=-26627&poid=321977), but the cheapest I can find it is $100 and it actually offers lower capacity (4000 mAh) than a replacement. A fat external battery would be a better deal for uninterrupted power if I ever need it (especially if it can also act as an AC adapter).
