1.0 out of 5 stars Battery part of recall!!!, April 20, 2004

I just received this battery from amazon (4/20/04) and discovered that it is part of a Toshiba recall because the battery does not stay connected and data can be lost. I called Toshiba and they are sending a free replacement. They advised me not to use the battery. So I paid over $100 for a battery that I cannot use! I bought this battery from Amazon rather than eBay because I didn't want to receive a battery that is under this recall. If you received this battery and the serial number does not end in "A", you can call Toshiba at 1-800-949-7993 to get the battery replaced. This recall was made 7/03, so Amazon really dropped the ball. I'm very disappointed. (...)

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth every penny!, March 18, 2003

I love my e740, but I hated the battery.
I was learning how to adjust, shortening online time, keeping
the thing plugged in overnight, all the while hating it.
The unit is the first and best of its kind, with that one small
exception, length of battery. Finally, I took the plunge and
fixed my e740. With this battery, all the toys including wifi
last more than 6 hours before needing a recharge. If I
conserve, easily 12 hours of use before I have to plug in. This is
the missing element. Finally, my keyboard, my modem,
the wifi, my SD memory, all of those investments are worth
that much more. Don't hold out, get this accessory, it
truely makes the e740 that much more indispensable.

5.0 out of 5 stars They were thinking of you... and your money, August 23, 2003

The extra battery is a necessity. The main battery the unit comes with makes you nervous to use it because it is always discharging quickly. It's such a great unit, you might as well make another investment so you can actually use it in peace. The cradle was designed to be able to hold the extra battery, and the extra battery comes with an additional carry sleeve like the one that came with the original unit, only larger to accommodate the thicker unit. When you compare the main battery and extended battery, it's a huge difference. Got Power?
