It should still be under warranty. Yes, batteries should last at least 5 years, but this just doesn't sound right, Tim. It may be defective. Don't risk the unexpected down time & frustration.

Does it lose time when the computer is shut off or only when it has been on all day?

<my dell is a xps 450 and it's maybe a year old> A year is early for the battery to be going out, but I've seen it happen before. My bro's battery is going out on his as well, and it's about a year old as well. Do us a favor Tim, wait until a Saturday before changing the battery. Don't want to risk your trading computer being dead w/o some time to fix it! Indeed if it starts loosing time bad, you ought to replace it right away. You could lose your system settings which, as mentioned before, can be a pain to setup. Remember, to not take more than a couple minutes to change the battery. Sam
