My started shutting down randomly earlier today, and it says I should change my battery. What I need help with is what other kind of batteries can my laptop take? Here's my laptop. And here's what I got when I searched the battery on Amazon. I don't want to get the same battery for this laptop because it's a terrible battery.

If you let it shut down on its own, it drains the battery by a lot. I know that letting a laptop shut down on its own isn't good for the battery, however, whenever my laptop would shut down it was because I wasn't paying attention to the battery on the bottom right. I suppose it shutting down a few times for the past year has made the current battery terrible.

So I'm wondering if my laptop can take any other batteries. If so, will you show me a battery on Amazon that's below one hundred dollars and has a long battery life? That's what I'm looking for in a new battery. I don't have much money for batteries above one hundred dollars, and I'd like a battery that can last a while.

Okay. My world is everyone's, so they'll enjoy it.

I was informed several days ago that a laptop can run without the battery, and I've read on the Internet that it can. My question is - will it affect performance? With the battery out of the laptop, will the computer run slowly? Also, I'm not too sure on how to leave my laptop without the battery. Do I just leave it plugged in all the time? Even when it's off? Or do I just plug it in right before I turn it on?

Well, my laptop had like 80% charge and just shut off randomly. Should I just leave it plugged in? I'm going to be getting a desktop soon, so I think I should. Then I'll just get a new battery when I have more money for it.

Isn't it a virus in Win32 I had it once and my pc shut up every 20 minutes.
My friend's pc once had a defect video card and when he plug in the Scanner.
