Question

There is a problem with my LabQuest battery

Answer

The LabQuest uses a high-quality lithium ion battery. This is the same type of chemistry used in premium laptop batteries. Depending on how it is used, the LabQuest battery should last for three years or more, and when fully charged, will run a full school day, or 6 hours.
