The battery never worked properly. FYI. For example I never knew there was a
red led display to indicate "low battery" power, I never saw it, due to the
defective battery. This is a widespread problem from out of the box. How
many people are affected by this?

Really about all that is reasonable considering the cost of the laptop

So really, those of us unlucky enough to have received a defective battery
and not have realized it until after the 30 day warranty period wind up
incurring the additional cost, even though the problem is widespread and
through no fault of the purchaser.

I will purchase that battery when it's available. I hope my feedback gets
pushed up the food chain over there at OLPC.
