My one year old laptop's battery has slowly lost its longevity. At first, with minimal apps running, it could go 4 hours or more. Even under heavy use it was good for 2 hours.
Now, it can barely last an hour. I dim the screen, disable network cards, keep the optical drive empty, and run as few programs as possible, but nothing seems to help.
In case it's relevant, it's a Dell Inspirion, and is NOT affected by the battery recall (though I wish it was now, so I could get a free new battery)
