The amp/hour rating of the new cells is 2150mah. I'm not sure what the
original rating was but I believe it was 1500 or 1600mah.

Honestly, it is too early for me to tell what average battery life will
be but it is pretty long. I have my conservation settings set for max
conservation (almost, I think I have the screen dimn bumped up a little) and
I have been using the 280 to do some offline web-browsing with a study
program I have and I'm well over 2 hours working time. After the computer
starts up and the battery meter settles down it still shows over half
charge.

I think I would need to do this on an exchage basis. I have tried to keep
the labor to the absolute minimum and I would just charge for the cost of
the batteries and any shipping related to each job so there is not alot of
room for core credits. There seem to be plenty of dead Type III batteries
around from what I have seen on ebay.
Thanks for the interest
