can i make my battery last longer

I did already.

wish mine would last that long
why you got so many without no batteries ?

I bought them as a lot for a decent price, and was hoping to find batteries for them afterward. (Not as much luck with the latter as I'd hoped. )

what does the chinese vendor want for 200 batteries ?
may be you can buy them.....put 5 in your laptops and sell the others

Thats odd. They mostly last about 2 hours. I would go through the charge it for 12 hours routine that you are supposed to do when you just got it.

There are some registry tweaks that will turn off some un-needed software that might make a small difference.

I have it setup so it doesn't dim the screen for about 5 minutes while on battery (the flickering was a nuance) but I also have the screen turned down to 50% using the brightness icon in the lower left corner.

If the 12 hour re-charge doesn't help try running it completely flat and then re-charging it for 12 hours. I know it isn't supposed to help an Ion battery but maybe it will.

If we can find a retailer to work with this company we can order new batteries for the Sylvania Netbook.

There are a couple of bulk sellers of these battery packs there. I e-mailed one several months ago asking for a referral to one or more of their resellers, but got no response.

The cells are almost certainly a standard size, so if you're comfortable with soldering, you should be able to buy individual cells from a supplier like Digikey, then assemble them into a pack to fit your device.
