When I got my laptop 1.5 years ago the battery life was really pretty 
good.  I'm thinking it was 1.5 to 2. hours.
Right now it is 45 minutes.  My laptop gets very hot.  I did buy one of 
those cool pads with fan and I have been using that to sit under it.

Could someone inform me about batteries. 
Is it time to replace this one?
Can I increase the life of this one?
Do I purchase a new one from Dell only, or are there options?
<or anything else you wish to share with me that I need to know about 
this subject>.

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
