your UX50 battery life

[hpl912]

how long as battery life does your UX50 can keep by having the wifi on browsing the net?

It seems to me that the battery on my UX is dying or what... it can last no more than 40 min i'd say with continuous browsing on wifi after a full charge.

and how does the batteries bought from ebay performs? or which replacement battery would you recommend (exept that expensive sony add-on extended battery)?

Yeah, that sounds about right. The UX has terrible battery life, and buying one on eBay doesn't help much (I have done that). You can buy a EB40 extended battery, which gives great battery life and attaches to the bottom. I have one I am selling for $125. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220149328773

i have found an easy way to get by the battery situation is to carry an extra power supply with me. when i visit a hot spot simply sit close to power, and wham bam thanks--- bob's your uncle. i know that in some situations power is not always available, but it works for me when it has the chance. just thought you may want to know. you can also take some of the mods posted on this site and get creative. for example, i have rewired a charger just for this purpose. took the USB charger post and modified the plug to accept power supply as well.

hope it helps.
