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!

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.

Got this to replace my 3 year old battery. Laptop is still in good shape except for the battery. Now it's better than new since this battery lasts longer than the original one did when it was new!
