laddhorn Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Model and budget? Generically, I would say eBay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suzy Crampton Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 I am in the market for one too, Acer model though. I have checked on amazon and their prices are good. I am scared of purchasing one because of the reviews. Sounds like most don't fit the computer correctly.Am I just seeing the bad ones and most are OK? I need a new battery badly, don't even remember whata cordless laptop is like! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue-Z-Q Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 I ALWAYS get all of ours on eBay. Never had an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need a new battery badly, don't even remember whata cordless laptop is like!I read those reviews too and decided to take a chance. I too was at the point where I was having to constantly keep my laptop plugged in. There was no way I could afford $120 dollars through HP. It just wasn't happening. I decided that even if it didn't work.. it was worth a chance. Mine works very well and fits very well. It keeps a charge for about 3 hours. (Which is only a little less that what my original battery would keep a charge for when it was new.) I have a 17.1 inch large laptop, so batteries don't tend to last as long in it. So to me, it was well worth it. Can't say you'll have the same experience, but I certainly hope you do. Just be sure to match the model and/or battery numbers and you should be ok.

pattykay Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 i had good luck with Amazon for a replacement battery for my Dell Latitude - prime eligible product - mine was completely dead, to the point where i couldn't unplug and move my computer to another room without an issue! -- and i got one much, much cheaper ($24) than from Dell, NewEgg, and with more peace of mind on a great product than eBay (and the average price on eBay was what i paid on Amazon). and it was one of those times it arrived the next day instead of in two!
