I bought my 110CT in a local computer shop may this year. Until recently the high capacity battery held full charge and lasted aprox 3-4 hours. Now it is suddenly reduced to a littele more than 1 hour. The battery meter slowly drops from 100% to aprox. 60%. Then within seconds i get my warning beep(set at 10%), it is going to stand-by (set at 3%) and BIOS interferes and goes into hibernation. When recharging the charge level rises from 1-2% to 40% and then jumps to 100% and stops charging. Can i assume that one of the cells is gone? Is this a typical way of dying or is it normally going very slow? Before this happened i already bought 2 batteries at ebay.co.uk, they should be ariving this week.
