Adding on to my own post: when new, the 6600 MAH battery in the 901
was good for (probably, I can't remember exactly) 5-7 hours. When
mine got down to 2 hours I found a 12000 MAH aftermarket replacement
for it, which gives more like 8-10 hours, which is verrrrrry nice!

               But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: 
                         While we were still sinners, 
                              Christ died for us.
