Replacement KDS Valiant 681DH - KA21024-01 Laptop Battery
“”When your KDS notebook battery stops performing reliably, it might be time for a replacement battery. There are lots of ways to get a new battery, but buying one from KDS can cost an arm and a leg, so using a third party vendor makes more sense. When people ask me where to go for a KDS Valiant 681DH - KA21024-01 Laptop Battery, there are two things I tell them: eBatts or Craigslist. eBatts has KDS Valiant 681DH batteries for only $85.46 - much more affordable then buying directly from KDS considering they cut $33.53 off their price. When you search for KDS Valiant 681DH batteries on Craigslist, make sure you are getting an OEM battery - this way you can be sure you won’t void your warrantee. In general, you can expect to pay a bit less on Craigslist for a laptop battery, but be sure that the new battery is compatible with your notebook, and you can’t be sure of the condition of the battery.
When you get down to it, getting a notebook battery shouldn’t be a huge ordeal, and it shouldn’t cost a fortune. Unfortunately KDS had decided to be greedy (like we didn’t see that coming). You can shop with confidence at eBatts - they have most of their items in stock, and ship quickly (one or two days has been my experience).
Buy your battery at eBatts, it even includes a 1 Year warrantee. Or try to find a deal on Craigslist (prices can be lower, but watch out for costly shipping charges, and scams).

Battery Tip: Running fewer services and programs while on battery power can extend your battery life by a few minutes. Fewer programs running means a lower load on the CPU in your laptop, as well as less reads and writes to the disk.

New KDS Valiant 6370iPT - KA2101301 Laptop Battery
“”I took a call from a user who was having some trouble with his laptop. Turns out his KDS Valiant 6370iPT - KA2101301 was shutting off unexpectedly when only using battery power, and the solution was (funny enough) a new battery.
How do you figure out you need a new laptop battery?
1. Instead of lasting hours, your KDS battery life is down to only a few minutes (or dies instantly).
2. The battery is unrecognized as being connected, or it refuses to charge : If you can’t operate away from an outlet, getting a new battery should be a high priority.
3. Your laptop isn’t even a year old but the battery life has dropped quickly. In this case you will want to try to contact the technical support group for KDS. Remember that most warrantees have very little coverage of battery life , but you may still fall within the coverage . While on the phone, ask about the cost of replacing the battery(DON’T BUY YET).
If your KDS Valiant 6370iPT - KA2101301 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 KDS Valiant 6370iPT - KA2101301 laptop batteries in stock (or they did when I checked last) and can ship one to you quickly. Priced at only $79.16 (regular price $109.99), they are a more affordable option than KDS, and is way more reliable than Craigslist.
The bottom line: When it is time for a replacement notebook battery, go buy one. For only $79.16 you can get a replacement KDS Valiant 6370iPT - KA2101301 notebook battery at eBatts.
DriverCure works great for KDS if you need drivers for it.
