DR. BATTERY PA5043U-1BRS PA3832U-1BRS PA3831U-1BRS Battery Compatible with Toshiba Portege/Satellite/Tecra R630 R700 R705 R830 R840 R930 R940 PPABAS235 PABAS236 PABAS249 PABAS250 [10.8V]

Arrived yesterday (19/3/21) within 24 hours of ordering, carefully packed in a foam-lined carton.Appears identical to OEM battery, except that it's a matt very dark charcoal grey plastic (like the screen surround rather than the eggshell black of the keyboard surround - not that I care!Fitted it and fired up the laptop (Toshiba Portege R830); immediately showing 1½ hours power remaining. Switched on the AC adapter and left it on charge as per instructions (using it occasionally). Some 4 hours later, battery LED was green (haven't seen that for a couple of years) so I turned off mains. Lunchtime today, after several hours of mixed use and self-hibernation, as I type this review, the laptop battery management shows 1½ hours use remaining.Oh Joy! I can once again use my laptop as intended.If it fails to perform as expected, I'll update this review.Update 1: After 1 week's light use, it's now been carefully cycled 3 times to optimise battery life and performance. It provides a little under 4 hours power, in-line with it's reduced capacity compared with the original battery. 100% compatibility with my laptop and the battery management hardware/software.A Good Buy!UPDATE 1/4/21: FWIW: 4¼ hrs continuous use on battery this morning, compiling a 3 page (so far) summary of data from 20-30 files mostly spreadsheets - what I'd call 'normal' type of use. A few days ago I converted numerous short AVI clips (3 -60 secs) in batches of up to about 10 a time. This is really processor intensive (fan runs full chat) and runs the battery down alarmingly fast (indicated remaining battery goes down by ~ 5 minutes/minute).Still very happy with the battery.

I searched everywhere for this battery, so I was really pleased to find it on here. It was packaged very well and arrived promptly. The instructions were clear as to what to do before using, and so far it has been working very well.

Battery as advertised and has been running 2 months with no issue.

Awesome!

Brought my laptop back to life, great package & fast delivery so happy would recommend product thank you

Grazie a questa batteria posso ancora utilizzare il mio Toshiba Portégé R930 acquistato 10 anni fa.

arrivato in anticipo e funziona bene . Da completare giudizio tra un po di tempo
