My Advent 7109 battery sucks to much. Is this a general problem or a fault and how does a fully charged battery supposed to last. I discoverd that after charging my battery to full, it only last for just 30minutes. What's wrong?

First of all, check with someone who fixes computers how long the charge is supposed to last for that model (30 minutes seems way too short, though).

Try cutting your usage (turning off wireless receiver, reducing brightness of display a little, etc.).

And, get a spare battery, usually readily available on the internet or from any computer shop. This is handy anyway.
