I only get 2.5 to 3 hours from the battery that came with my 770. I'm wondering if I would do a lot better if I got another battery from My1990 on ebay.

Do other people get much more life from their 770/790 batteries? (Not the enhanced one which doesn't work on 770.)

Depends on a few factors:

1) Are you using a WiFi card?
2) Do you have the display set at maximum brightness?

i have some batteries for the 770 that last way more than this, so you'd be better off getting another or rebuilding this one.

but if this is with wifi and full brightness, then it is not so bad

Yes, fully bright and wifi always on. I guess that explains it. I'll do some testing wth wifi off and brightness down and see where I am. Thanks!
