I tried to maneuver the Compac webpage to complain about their LiLo batteries and was diverted to different areas, finally kicking me out of the website.

 My laptop Model 12XL526 was purchased new from Costco, San Bernardino April 2001. From the moment I bought it the battery has gone down hill and won't hold a charge while using as portable. Here it is March 2002 and when it shows fully charged, it only lasts 10 minutes or less. This is an LiLo lithium battery that should last a lot longer than a nicad type, but not in the Compac's case. Too bad they don't have a one on one to talk to - - - - --  -
