Send me 100 bucks and I will tell you a fantastic way to solve it :smileyvery-happy:

Ok, this on is for free -> just add charger! :smileyvery-happy:

but if seriously - why don't you go Start -> settings ->control panel -> Power options and set the low battery alarm a little bit lower?

I had a year old Latitude, its battery worked for hours, and even when the batery low appeared, I had 25 minutes left.

 

P.S. My XP didn't disconnect the wireless even at battery critical... well, but that was my own version of XP :smileywink:

Just to let you know why it does this. The wireless of course uses power all the time, if you battery is critically low and you system is about to shut off, it turns that off so that you can save your info before the system shuts down. If you want to disable this you can check the settings mentioned in the other post but if that does not work look in your QuickSet utility. This also has some power management settings.

Alright, it makes sense....will checkout power options and quickset.

 

Thanks!
