I travel back and forth from the United States to Canada constantly. Usually, I like to stop by the Manitoba’s capital of Winnipeg. Winnipeg is a town of roughly 500,000 residents with strong ties to both their French and Indian ancestry.

During these four hour drives from Fargo, N.D., to Winnipeg, MB, I like to test different laptop batteries to see which one has the longest life span. In this case I tried out the PB995A on my HP laptop Pavilion. Needless to say, I was impressed.

The battery lasted from the start of the trip to the very end. All the while I was ruthlessly multitasking: listening to music, writing this blog post, recording some digital video. This replacement battery lasted all the way through the trip.

I purchased this product from PriorityElectronics.com, after my manufacturer’s battery died out. I looked around at other wholesale battery distributors, but the same level of service was not provided.

Thankfully, my weekly rides have become much more entertaining thanks to the extended use of my laptop. Next week, I am planning a trip to Las Vegas, Nevada. I will keep you updated on the progress of my battery life moving forward.
