I just got my new laptop from dell, one of the new XPS's. I get a whopping 1 hr 40 min life out of my battery at 100% on the best battery saving mode. Is there any way to get this up? Was it maybe not charged properly or something at the factory, causing it to suck so harsh?

Of course this thing lights up like the bridge of the Enterprise, both inside and out, so I'm sure that has a lot to do with it.

As for the OP, generally you can find decently priced replacement batteries on ebay, and occasionally even find brand new name brand batteries there as well at decent prices.
