Does this laptop come with a battery? the description says "1 Liyium Ion Battery required"??

The laptop does come with its battery. That is an erroneous and misleading statement. It has a very decent battery life.

I bought it 6 months ago and the battery doesn't hold it's charge more than one hour. In the Linux panel I can see 3 hours of battery in the first time I turn on the notebook, but, as the time is going, these 3 hours showed in the panel is becoming minutes in just 1 real hour.

Yes, it does, however, find a reputable vendor. I can't remember who I made the first off market purchase from. Laptop is now 3yrs old. Original Dell battery failed after one year. I replaced it with an off market battery. It also lasted one last year. The new battery ordered will not hold a charge and vendor has not responded to the problem.

Mine came with a battery, and the charger is large enough to stay pretty cool, this computer draws quite a bit of power. The screen produces a briliant picture, unlike most laptops, thus needing more power. The cooling air exits the computer is only slightly warmer the ambient air, unlike my 18 in hp(discontinued) which almost burnt my hand and had a poor picture.

No batteries come with it. To charge, attached via USB and let it sit attached to your computer (make sure computer is on). In about an hour, it will be charged. I don't know this part for sure, but I am pretty confident there is no way to replace battery - you may as well replace the pen. Esp when considering cost. It is a great item overall - I love mine!

I don't know about the RAM, but I do not see a battery, suggesting it is built in. The computer is great except that the DVD drive on 2 that I have had (one had to go in for repair 1 day after I received it) had a totally non-functioning drive. It would not open except with the use of a paper clip inserted in the slot. And then the drive would not recognize a disk. Got a replacement computer, and the drive is marginally functional - won't stay shut unless a disk is in there. The rest of the computer is perfect (so far), and I rarely use the DVD drive, but you might want to think about that potential problem.

There is a Ni-CD and Lith Ion battery option. Call Skil or go to their website to order. I think the Li-ion battery and charger was $60.

Yes it does come with a battery, never had a problem about it i didn't buy any additional battery.

Yes, it does come with a battery. You should have or purchase at least one memory card. I would suggest 4 or 8 gig.

I got somewhat less than 2 hrs (but I wasn't doing much other than moving the mouse to keep the screen from going to sleep) - about what I expected. This is a basic (6-cell) battery. there are extended (9-cell) batteries that will last longer. Also important to follow the "break-in" procedure (full charge - full drain - full charge, etc). Some laptops may have to "learn" how to charge a new battery before it can do it efficiently, and fully.

thank you for your inquiry. This computer uses the lithion 2032 battery like what is used in a watch and can be purchased at any jewelry store, radio shack, walmart etc..

What I received was a refurbished laptop. The battery and power cord was included. It also had the additional battery sheet, which is a heavy duty, long life battery that is normally purchased separately.

None of the above is true anymore, it was true back in the days of NiCad batteries. Laptops use Li-Ion batteries. Li-Ion just likes to be fully charged all the time, the best way to accomplish this is to simply leave your laptop plugged in all the time. Every time you cycle your battery you lose a tiny amount of capacity.

No, the battery comes with a little charge in the box, but the manual suggests you see how much it shows on your computer before plugging it in, usually at 7%, then charge to full one time and discharge again to 7% to let the battery settle into a normal operating use.
