    m1330 turns off when running on battery

    My m1330 turns off randomly when running on battery only (AC adapter not plugged in). This happens randomly; sometimes in windows, and it has also happened a couple secs after pressing the power button (at the Dell screen).

    I don't think it's a heat problem, as the last time this happened, it turned off couple secs after powering up and the laptop hasn't been on for 12 hours..

    Any ideas?
