Replacement Grid 140XT - 18914 Battery

I recently got an email from a customer who was having some trouble with his computer. Turns out his Grid 140XT - 18914 was shutting off unexpectedly when on battery power, and the solution was (funnily enough) a replacement battery.

How do you figure out you need a new laptop battery?

1. Instead of lasting hours, your Grid battery only lasts a few minutes (or even seconds).

2. The battery is unrecognized as being connected, or it refuses to hold a charge : If you can’t operate without your AC adapter, getting a replacement battery should be your top priority.

3. Your laptop isn’t even a year old but battery life has dropped quickly. If this is the case you will want to try to contact the technical support for Grid. Remember that most warrantees have very specific coverage for battery life (go figure), but you might fall within the coverage range. While talking to Technical Support, ask about the cost of replacing the battery(DON’T BUY YET).

If your Grid 140XT - 18914 battery has these symptoms, and you don’t want to buy a new laptop yet, finding a replacement is easy (I love recommending eBatts, I just can’t help it). eBatts has new Grid 140XT - 18914 notepad batteries in stock (or they did when I checked last) and can ship one to you quickly. Priced at only $47.66 (regular price $66.99), they are a more affordable option than Grid, and is way more reliable than Craigslist.

Bottom line: When it is time for a replacement notebook battery, go buy one. For only $47.66 you can get a replacement Grid 140XT - 18914 laptop battery at eBatts.

Didn’t have a problem finding the drivers for my 140XT when I used DriverCure

Battery Tip: Microsoft Windows Update will constantly search for updates for your laptop, and in many cases this can happen while on battery power, slowing your laptop down and consuming precious battery life. Setting windows update to Notify you of updates (but NOT to download them) can give you a small boost in battery life.
