In a second test, using the machine without external power, the warningless shutdown happened at about 25% charge level.

The machine was used when I purchased it about three years ago. Likely the battery was original then and I have not replaced it since. Yes, this is probably the factory original battery. > If you do run the capacity test I'd be interested in seeing your results. I've glanced at http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Batman . Will have to read more carefully before trying a "capacity test" and collecting any power log. FWIIW, a full charge in the battery still runs the machine for more than an hour. Any comments about having the battery rebuilt by a local shop vs. trying to buy a replacement? Thanks, ...
