Gateway P-79 Battery
Your Gateway P-79 battery makes your laptop portable so as to work or play inside, outside or anywhere your heart desires. Getting a battery with a higher amp rating is OK, as it suggests the battery will last a bit longer on one charge. What is truly important is the actual size of the battery and the connection it has. The more power the battery has, the longer you will be able to use the laptop on one charge. Because no battery is the same, make sure and double-check the part number of the new battery and compare it to the old one.
Major clues of an unhealthy Gateway battery
- The laptop lasts less than half an hour while unplugged
- The battery has its case swollen like its about to burst
- The unit will not turn on at all when unplugged
