Project 365 Day 336: Battery Recharged

Tonight I gave my work laptop's new battery a work out. The original battery was two or three years old, and as happens with all rechargeable batteries eventually, it died a slow and hot death. Recently it served no purpose other than keeping my desk and my legs warm through the cold of winter. If my power cord came unattached, the laptop would go off instantly.

So I was very happy to receive a replacement recently, and very pleased to see that when my screen was dimmed (using less power) while sitting at a table in Borders, Windows told me that I had about 3 hours of battery life left. It's good to see that my battery is once again capable of being recharged, just like I can do to myself with a cup of Seattle's Best!
