Batteries – a constant issue on gadgets…
I have two things that annoy the heck out of me when travelling. Economy seats on the plane, and weak batteries. It’s bad enough that I have to be uncomfortable for the whole flight with a chair that would recline enough only to tell me that the seat is reclinable – - but I can’t even enjoy the flight because if I can’t sleep, I want to do something else.  Whatelse can you do inside a plane for 20 hours? Read? Yes, but you can only read so much while people next to you are sleeping and want the light off.
Why weak batteries you say? I planned on using the laptop I have from work to watch DVD’s on my way to Asia. That was working well and good but the battery only lasts for 1 hour regardless that it says it may last up to 4 hours. I had no interest in the movie selection provided by the airline and I wanted to watch my own – - but how can you watch a full movie with 1 hour worth of battery life?
So, as soon as I returned I made sure that I shop for additional batteries that I can have on hand in situations like these. Even the use of my cellphone while travelling can be a hassle if I do not have extra batteries to boot.
I found a website that sells batteries for laptops at very reasonable prices. I intend to check it out further but it offers a wide variety of batteries for all laptop makes and models. The website is http://www.lowcostbatteries.com. Check it out if you are in a similar situation like me. Next time I travel, I will make sure that extra batteries are part of my carry on luggage.

Hmmm… Do you know that there are acutally power sockets on those Executive Economy SQ seats??? No need for batteries!
Hi Singapore Girl – - great question! I couldn’t find it – - maybe I didn’t look hard enough
. Anyway – thanks for the tip – - maybe I’ll ask one of the cute stewardesses from SQ next time!
