Re: First: 2008 Batteries are D-Y-I-N-G.
We had one bad battery this year, but that was due to the top of the battery coming loose and leaking somewhere. We disposed of it properly, but it took a few minutes to figure out why it wasn't working. I noticed that the top was lose, peeled it back, found a rubber cap missing and an empty cell.

Speaking of battery problems. Anyone know why the battery on my laptop will last for 30 minutes at 70+% then instantly (and I really many instantly) go to 7%. It's about a year old.
