I recently got a new battery for mine from tadpole, it was about $150US.
I
can now run my machine for about 2hrs, thats up from the 30 minutes I
got
on my old one. From now on I am going to be very careful how I use the
machine
on batteries, ie. i'm going to always try to run it out of power and
avoid
shortening the memory of the new one.
