XPS m1730 Battery Problem
I purchased a XPS m1730 about 3 weeks ago. After the second day of using the computer I started having problems with the battery. I can run the laptop on AC power without any trouble, but when running on battery power the laptop will shut down without any warning anywhere within 5-30 mins. The battery is not dead because when I turn the laptop back on the battery meter is around 85-95% full. Any setting that I run the battery on, weather it be power saver or high performance it will shutdown. The laptop is not overheated or hot at all. When I use the battery, I use it right away when I first turn on my computer for the first time that day. Whats going on here?

You say..."When I use the battery, I use it right away when I first turn on my computer for the first time that day."
When you do the above, does it also shut down as you described (5 - 30 mins)?
Are there any times when M1730 is on battery that it will NOT shut down?
Are you ever able to get full usage of the available Battery Power without a unexpected and premature shutdown ?

It is time to call Technical Support and ask that the battery be replaced.

I also recently purchased an XPS m1730 and the battery runs down very quickly . . . I have been on the phone w/Technical Support and they sent me a new battery which did not resolve my issue. Did you even get yours resolved or anyone out there having the same issue with the life a their battery. Purpose of getting a laptop is to be more mobile, if we need AC whereever we go then it defeats the purpose of the laptop. Any battery feedback from those of you who own an XPS m1730?
