BIg fat daddy of um all!

(5 out of 5) by G. Martin on Aug 27, 2007 (Glendale, Ca.)
Plenty of power and time on this chunky spark!
3 1/2 hrs is common! And this will fit in MANY Toshiba laptops! I have a Statellite A135-S4677 and double checked at Toshiba before I bought it! So it wil fit the A130 and A135 laptops as a host of others, mabye a 100 other models? Just search your model at Toshiba first.

Because it is 8 cell it sticks out in the back about an inch. Doesn't interfere with anything and still fits my case as well.
Lastly I got this for a really great bargin price. It was listed at $152 when I originally bookmarked the page. I kept checking back waiting for a lower price to show up and when I saw it selling for $124 with free shipping I snatched it up! Amazon discounts lots of items off the MSRP. Just gotta keep checking it out for when!

Great battery. Great price.

(5 out of 5) by Juana Delatorre on Sep 22, 2008 (Las Vegas, NV)
I wanted an original Toshiba battery but Toshiba wanted a lot more money and they said it would take up to 6 weeks to ship. I bought it here for a lot less and I had the battery right away. So far, it's a great battery. Depending on what I'm working on, it may last 2.5 to 3.5 hours. With the original battery, I couldn't even watch a full movie when I traveled without having to charge it. With this one, I was able to watch 1 and a half movies. The battery sticks out about an inch but it's not a problem for me. It's worth it. I was looking into buying a cheaper replacement battery by other manufacturers but I decided to buy the original battery. I'm glad I found it on Amazon.

Forget 3rd Party Batteries, Buy this One

(5 out of 5) by Tony Ahn, Jr. on Jun 11, 2008 (Chico, CA USA)
Don't bother trying to save money by purchasing a 3rd party battery. They simply don't work as well as OEM. I returned 2 different brands after they failed to properly charge from my Toshiba laptop. Each worked great after the 1st initial charge. But even after multiple conditioning cycles, they required over 24 hours to fully charge.

This one fully charges in about 3 hrs, and doubles the usage time of the stock OEM battery. And I paid the same amount for this high quality OEM battery as I did for the 3rd party ones.

This one's a "no brainer". It costs the same, is the best quality, and it works. Buy this one.

expensive but superior to original battery

(4 out of 5) by Peetie on Oct 11, 2009
At $163 for a second but larger battery, this is pricey but still worth the cost given the awful performance of the original. I get around 2.5 hrs of use which is little compared to others but great against what I had.

New Battery for Toshiba Laptop

(3 out of 5) by Syed Bin-sagheer on Sep 7, 2009 (Spring Hill, Florida)
This new battery was supposed to work for 4 hours but it only has about 3 hrs. The battery was in good condition but it came later than expected. The only good thing about this product was that the price was at a good deal. I probably wouldn't buy from this seller again.
