Who else has an IBM Thinkpad R51 or R52

I've had my laptop over a year now, but I can't believe how crappy the battery in these things are.

Even when I first got the thing and started using it, the battery lasted for about an hour on power saving mode (cutting the cpu down to 500 mhz from 1500mhz and dimming the backlight)

Still the battery life has continued to decline and I'll pretty soon have to get a new battery (even though the thing only has about 400 cycles on the battery)

I'm going to think about getting a 9 cell battery, but I don't know if that'd even be worth it...
