Is 5 mins a normal runtime for 289 watts? I thought I got 10ish with the OEM battery.

I agree with Derrick Davis, it all depends on how much you are running on it. The UPS is only designed to run long enough for a proper shutdown of the computer in case of a power outage. A minute to save your work, a minute to shut down should be all you need.

since this question popped up, i ran mine for the last two hours and it's still going strong. i'm using the Sony battery (actually a generic copy), so your mileage may vary based on battery type. i don't think this was fully charged when i started, but only has one bar left now. but it did run full blast for 2 hours.

Ha...I guess the one down side...I get about two hours on max performance. I have been thinking about getting a better battery for the laptop (4 hour type or more). However, I need to add my purchase was more for a portable desktop than a mobile computer (tablet, etc...) so it stays plugged in about 85% of the time.

I'm not sure but it was pretty lousy anyway. Less (much) than 1 hr battery life; was an improvement on the 10 minutes I had with original battery...but not much. Just about enough juice to close everything down w/o losing work during power outages.

about 33% longer than the OEM battery. however, the time between low-battery notification and zero-battery is much shorter.

I've been testing mine out recently - I run for about 2hours, 2hours 15 mins. It usually lasts 2 such days - so 4- 4 1/2 hours- which is quite disappointing. I have a feeling indoor battery life maybe slightly better. I was looking for the "rated" battery like myself. Would be nicer if it went a week without charge.

Mine came at 4974, and is working fine so far (been almost a month). I get from 3-4 hours depending on what I'm doing. Coming from about a half hour on my 5 year old original battery, it's quite an improvement and well worth 26 dollars.

Not certain. When running low I plug in for 4 hours and I seem to get a full charge.

Hi Hafeez, the battery can run up to 3.5 hours in normal usage.Thanks, PCrush

Hello,Thank you for your interest--like Santiago said, it should take about double the amount of time since the mah is nearly double the OEM battery.

Yes. 6800mAh is 6.8 Ampere-hours at 12V. It should therefore be able to run at 1.5 amperes for more than four hours. I wouldn't run it much higher than that, though. 1.5 Amps is a lot of current for that little battery. I routinely run a 3800mAh unit (=3.8 Ampere-hour) at 0.9 Amp for over four hours.

Hi. I have never run it out fully but it is more than double the original factory battery. That original was quite short. Thanks

I like this non Dell battery a lot. This morning it showed me over 9 hours capacity, just starting the laptop. But now I have several program open and the use is faster. I set the battery as per the instructions: run the battery completely down 3 times. I did and it made the battery increase capacity time. Usually after charging the minimum is 6 hours plus.

They only draw 200 mAMPS (0.0000002 amps) so the wattage is really insignificant if you are worried about battery life. I am in road construction and normally leave mine running for 5-6 hours and have never had a problem. FYI: I run these at the same time I am running my overhead light (strobe) and four corner strobes.

i'm answering on the computer I installed the battery on so I do not have the Amp/hr rating however, this battery is great I usually run my lap top from 7 Am to 6 or 7 pm without any a/c power this thing rocks!!

What are you using the battery for? In general 1 watt won't do much for this battery.

Sorry...not quite sure what you're asking. To get longer run times than the 11.1v 1300 mAh parkzone battery, you would need a higher ampere hour rating(i.e. 2000mAh) along with the same voltage(11.1 volts). Just make sure the physical dimensions are the same and the connectors are the same as well. Chris
