The battery (order *******) took 10 days to arrive and delivery time is quite acceptable. The battery was packed nicely and secured to prevent damage. Installation was easy and testing was on the way. After a full charge, the battery could only last 2 - 3 hours. I was expecting more as the original battery could last double that time. I guess this is better that having a dead old battery. I am pleased that I was able to get the replacement for such an old notebook and I could still use the notebook for a few years more.
