Laptop Batteries & Adapters - Product Reviews

PeterinCO - (August 21, 2004) Mine arrived in a small bubble envelope via U.S. mail; the battery had no packaging or indication of where it came from. I was attempting to buy something else from HOCT on the day I placed the order and was told the battery order had already been processed; the invoice and postal sticker had the following day’s date. After sitting in my mailbox—it was shipped USPS even though the website and confirmation e-mail said UPS—for maybe a day, it was 93% charged according to my computer’s battery meter. The front casing was scratched and had a small divot in it. I charged it to 100% and then let the computer sit doing nothing; it held a charge for 1 hour and 27 minutes. When it reached

molette - (June 05, 2004) This is a replacement for the standard 3200 mAh battery for the IBM Thinkpad 600 laptop. I liked the fact that Simple Micro offered a version with a higher mAh rating, which should give longer battery life. The 3600 mAh version was only a dollar or so more than the 3200 rated one. I decided to purchase a replacement battery rather than OEM because I had read that the original IBM battery had a poor design that led batteries to die prematurely (which I experienced personally)

samstroud - (May 05, 2004) This product appears to be as good as the original Compaq laptop battery in all respects, including the built-in charge indicator on the battery itself. Kahlon's price was very competitive, too. All I ask of a replacement battery is that it does the job (it does) and that it doesn't wear out too fast, which remains to be seen.

robbinn - (10/28/2009) When using the battery for the first time it charged to 97% Few days later it only charged to 69% and the days after that it has been decreasing slowly. The battery time is maybe 1,5 hours on a power saving adjustments. I feel like I have been sold a used or a faulty item. I will most likely not purchase goods from them again.

monte1221 - (10/26/2009) I was skeptical because it was $100.00 less than buying from Dell and local computer stores. It arrived in two days using standard shipping! So far, so good!

theorator - (08/30/2009) The battery fits perfectly into my laptop, and has worked great since I've input it. The charge lasts anywhere from 2-3 hours, which is great for me as I use my laptop at work from time to time. Overall, I am very satisfied with this product. I would definitely recommend this battery to anyone who has a notebook compatible with it.
