Hacking a Laptop Battery – Increase Runtime
Do you have an old laptop whose battery struggles to reach 30 minutes? I used to.
An aftermarket 6-cell pack would have cost me around $40, which isn’t expensive, but the laptop was old (circa 2006) and not worth putting money into. I happened to have a fair number of Lithium-Ion battery cells “lying around”, and decided to upgrade my pack, not just with new cells, but with more cells.
This project was completed about a year ago, and I’m surprised I never posted it before!
Nostalgia: Windows 98
Last weekend I tried to install Windows 98 on the oldest laptop of mine. It didn’t work, it gave an error, “Insufficient system memory”. Funny, I had 2GB of RAM…
After all, it is a laptop. Why doesn’t Windows XP ask these questions? Maybe it just knows.
I wonder if it’s any better than Justin TV?
Dial-up server!!!
23 minutes remaining, no, I mean, 14 minutes, no, I mean, 3 hours 27 minutes!
I miss this… Sort of, not really. It’s so much nicer to have it all shut down on its own.
I’ve got a video of it trying, and failing, to boot, however, bad quality, and not all that important.
