My laptop uses a Li-Ion 14.8, 5200mAh battery. I should get around 2 hours run time on a full charge. I had been getting that when the house was warm. This battery is only a few months old. Last night I used it for less than an hour and it was completely depleted. I was also charging my cell phone battery through the USB port. I had done that over the last few days, and it seemed that the charging had little effect on the run time. The only difference is that the house is much colder now.
Are Li-Ion batteries affected by the cold?
( Hurricane Sandy - no heat, no hot water, no power )
