Go to SolutionComposite Battery
What exactly is this? I just got a new Dell Laptop N5010. My battery fully charged lasted at best 4 hours. My old Dell when fully charged had around 7-9 hours. Not very happy about the step down after buying a new computer. Also this laptop seems to run Hot. i have sent it in and they "repaired a new computer" with a heat sink.
When I looked at the properties on my battery I expected to see 6- cell or 4-cell but saw "composite battery" Should I be concerned with any of this?
Thanks
My old one is a Inspiron 1545 and I am not sure what battery is has... I guess I made a bad choice. Should the touchpad be warm/hot to touch? I guess I made a bad choice. I thought I compared most of the new laptop's features with my old one but apparently not :(
Thanks for responding

7-9 hours would have been exceptional. What model system was that - and was it a 9-cell battery?
The new one is a low-end, budget model - one of the sacrifices made in favor of low cost is that the battery runtime isn't a priority -- low price is.
