[Ti] Battery/AC problem

[Kynan Shook]

I'm not sure I'd trust XBattery too much.  If the computer is forced 
into sleep sooner than you'd like, buy a new battery.  Batteries tend 
to have a good usable life of 1-3 years, depending on your use, and how 
soon you want to replace them.
If you buy a *new* battery and it repeatedly dies at 80% or after 30 
minutes of use, there might be something wrong with your computer.  
Much more often, however, the problem is related only to the battery.
