I have a laptop that is on 14 - 16 hours a day everyday for maybe 4
years. I took the battery out of it long ago in the hopes of salvaging
it. No problems so far with either the battery or the laptop.
I hear about all the hardware failures... I have been blessed not to
experience but a couple in 26 years. I often wonder if most hardware
failures are due to unfiltered power. I use Tripp Light Isobars. Any
thoughts on this?
