laptop battery cells
Instead, I tried disabling its touchpad's "tap to click" option, in which it treats any tap as a mouse click, on the theory that it was being too sensitive. But since Windows doesn't offer a standard control for this, you'll have to puzzle it out yourself in the "Mouse Properties" control panel (in Windows XP, it's under the Control Panel's "Printers and Other Hardware" category; Click each tab in that window after the core Windows options ("Buttons," "Pointers," "Pointer Options," "Wheel" and "Hardware"), and one of them should have an option to disable this tapping option. Updating touchpad drivers or adjusting the "Touch Sensitivity" option on some laptops may also fix this problem, but disabling tap-to-click is simpler. In general, more cells -- the little cylindrical or rectangular modules inside a laptop batteries -- are better, but you can only be sure of that when comparing different options on a single laptop.
