What other batteries will work with the Toshiba L25-S121 laptop besides the lousy (1.5hour) one it came with?

LOL that battery does suck doesn't it??? I own one also but as long as you are happy with the laptop then go http://www.toshibadirect.com/td/b2c/adet.to?poid=294716&seg=HHO&coid=-26627&rcid=-26363&ccid=1291043\nThis is a direct replacement from Toshiba that has almost twice the capacity.

Don't do it. Sony electronics are overpriced and mediocre at best. Their components are not very dependable and forget about any service or repairs, they're not the most helpful or customer friendly company around.\n\nDo yourself a favor, save some money, and get a Dell or an HP.\n\nIf you have any doubts as far as their quality control goes, just look at the millions of Laptop batteries that had to be recalled this year. All were supplied and manufactured by Sony.\n\nHope this helps.

Will the laptop run on battery power?  Li-Ion batteries can sometimes get out of sync meaning that the battery may have more or less charge remaining than the computer thinks.  If your computer will still run on battery power, I would charge it up all the way and then run it all the way down.  Repeat this three times and see if it fixes your problem.\n\nYou could also visit the downloads page for your laptop\nhttp://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-61506\nand see if you have the most up to date BIOS and system software.  You should have program in the start menu that can do this for you: Start -> All Programs ->IBM Update Connector or Start -> All Programs ->IBM->IBM Update Connector\n\nFinally if your computer won't run w/o being plugged in, you may want to remove the battery and make sure the contacts look ok.  If everything looks good and it still won't run on the battery, it is time for a new one.  I went to a "Batteries Plus" store and they were able to test the old one and sell me a new one for about $75.\n\nGood Luck!\n\nMike

Here is a PDF document (pretty large 8MB) where you can find this information. Look on page 60.\nhttp://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=PFAN-3TJKLN\n\nIt's pretty simple\n1. Power off the computer and unplug the AC adapter from the computer\n2. Turn the computer upside down\n3. Remove the DIMM cover, the CMOS battery is just beside the RAM module\n4. Make sure the Plus side is on top when replacing

what articles? the ones you get through forums from anybody, or did you go to dell. they usually tell you every thing to do in detail. here's their site and suggestions for your pc:\nhttp://support.dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/dsn/en/tree?c=us&cs=19&journalid=5170A3EF98E511DABDFF85A0E486CE68&l=en&s=dhs&treeid=8D6EF73F9874488880A6CDD994900DD9\nIf this dont work and your still under warranty then you gotta call tech support so they can service the laptop. and dont be suprised if they say that the battery is not covered under warranty (batteries usually don't have as long of a warranty).

Yes, I do it all the time.\nIt works with any modern laptop.\nTurn off the laptop, remove battery, replug power adapter. Turn on.\nAs simple as that.\nTo use battery again, turn off, replug, turn on.\n\nThe power adapter supplies power to turn on the computer in the same time as it charges the battery. When the laptop is charging, the battery is not used. This is why battery live longer if you keep on pluggin in your laptop, and sure you can remove the battery.\n\nSometimes I even unplug the battery without turning off the laptop. But I wouldn't suggest this as this may possibly damage the circuitry in the long run.\nMy 3 years old laptop battery recently fails to hold a charge, because its old and I use it extensively. Now I'm using it without battery. It's much lighter to carry now :D.\n\nHowever, you should be careful with the battery.\nIt's not good to store the battery too long in certain condition. I suppose your laptop is a modern one and uses Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) battery. Lithium Ion battery is an unstable chemical, as with other battery. It will degrade in quality and capacity over time. But it will degrade faster under certain conditions:\n1. Too hot or stored in a hot case/room (for example in a car under sunlight).\n2. Charged full (100%) and then not used for a long time.\nThe battery will also die if you empty or near-empty the battery (like 0 or 1%) and then remove and then store it for a couple of days to weeks. Li-Ion batter has a certain threshold of voltage and if it reaches a certain low voltage, it will explode if recharged. There is a mechanism in the battery that will prevent the battery to be recharged if the voltage reached very low levels, and it will not explode, but you will have to buy a new battery.\n\nSo, if you want to store your battery, make sure to store it when it is around 40% charge. This is the optimal charge that will make it live longer and you can store it like 1-2months.\n\nThanks for 2 points.

Oh, I'm so sorry. That's what you get in return for a good deed? He's bad. You might try calling Toshiba anyway. Perhaps they will come up with something - new method or good price on new one.

"A better battery? A better mousetrap." \n\n"Every laptop and cell phone owner I know wants more battery time.  If it works as advertised, we'll soon see laptops with 10 hour batteries."\n\n"Saphion technology is superior because Saphion technology possesses safety and excellent cost/performance characteristics that cathode materials currently used in Lithium-ion batteries do not."

i would go on eBay and see other notebooks that are near the hardware profile that you have. that will give you a good basis.

If batteryplus.com doesn't work, try ebay.  You'd be surprised what you can find there.  BEST OF LUCK!

The Toshiba Satellite is a very poor choice when considering the wide spectrum of choices avalible for budget laptops.\n\nThe battery life of the L25 is only 95 minutes, according to Cnet.com, which is a very small number in today's market.  Furthermore, the battery life won't last long enough to watch a dvd movie, which is a major factor to consider if you are going to dish out 700 for a laptop.\n\nIf you are looking for a bare minimum no frill laptop, I recommend Dell, where you can equipt a cheaper laptop which has more features, especially if you wait for a special deal.

If the laptop is not what it was advertised as, you can contact Ebay, as they have what they call an "Item Not Received or Significantly Not as Described" policy. http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/inr-snad-policy.html\nHowever, if they did describe the laptop correctly, and you just didn't understand what you were buying, you're out of luck.
