Not worth the money

Was really hoping to extend the life of my 10 year old laptop with this battery. The laptop works perfectly, and it's my main internet laptop, used 99% of the time on mail/surfing/youtube/etc. Like many, I use my laptop plugged in almost exclusively. I bought this so I could transport my laptop without having to shut it down, grab the power cord, and use it somewhere else. I bought it less than a year ago, and have used it maybe 10 times unplugged. At this point the batter shows fully charged but as soon as I unplug from 120v the battery has less than 10% and my laptop shuts down. YMMV but this was a total waste of money for me. Would not purchase again. Note: The original Toshiba battery lasted around 5 years, then became useless. This one lasted less than a year and is now also useless.

Pros
  • Helps to extend the overall lifespan of your Toshiba notebook
Cons
  • May cause laptop hardware complications
