Hello again people!

Have had this laptop for a few days now and the battery life is proving to be a big issue.

After charging, the meter reads only 1 hour battery life and really only lasts this long. :(

My mom has a bottom of the range HP and even hers has more than 3 hours battery life...

Is there anything I can do to change this, and make the life longer? Where can I find a longer-life battery pack for example?

I mean 1 hour of battery life is pretty ridiculous...

@Bwana I don't want to hear any I told you so's...;)

Thanks in advance guys and gals...

Seems as though it has shipped with the lowest spec 2-cell battery in it. Does anyone know where I can find one with more cells, like 8, and how much it would be?
 
Done some more googling and it seems even the high-end Toshibas have such poor battery life...

Gonna put a want ad up in the classifieds...Anyone know how much a long-life battery should go for?
