RE: laptop battery purchase
Stay away from ebay. Go to a legitimate source (like CDW, etc) From my experiences, around $120 is what you will pay if you want it to work. Any less, and the user will be in the same boat they are now within a week. $.02 From: John Aldrich [mailto:jaldr...@blueridgecarpet.com] Sent: Friday, February 05, 2010 10:30 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: OT: laptop battery purchase What's a good place to get a new battery for a laptop?

Re: laptop battery purchase
The sellers on Amazon are the exact same sellers on eBay and are all offering the same f*$(#) piece of garbage batteries. If you want a decent battery for a laptop you're best best is to go with an OEM NOS (new old stock) battery. Considering you're looking for an HP battery you want to look at all the places that sell HP gear new - CDW, Softchoice, Insight, Ingram Micro (if you have an account), etc. If you had a Dell laptop I would tell you to buy it directly from Dell. Regardless of brand a new OEM battery is going to cost you $100+ US. On 2/5/2010 9:39 AM, John Aldrich wrote: What about Amazon?

RE: laptop battery purchase
I've used Pacific Batteries as well and liked them. Just stay legit. If you have an HP laptop, buy an HP battery. Not some 3rd party and aftermarket brand. Yes, batteries are expensive, but that's life in the mobile workforce. We are all laptops at Trace3 and I buy a lot of batteries and I only buy Lenovo brand.
