Just how much do you want to pay? There are some places that offer very good prices on original, new Dell batteries, and certainly not at the price from Dell. These include Pacific Battery or Portable Components, two of which I have had good luck. Check out their prices. |

I had been through difficult times trying to replace the battery until I was suggested by my friend to go in for batteries from Battech International Limited. I surfed through the valuable information on their website http://www.battech.co.uk/ and the disclaimer on reduced costs price promise and top quality service was indeed challenging to scan many other brands for better deals. Their aim on returns to provide 100% customer satisfaction and excellent customer service motivated me to buy the iPod Battery for a fair deal from a wide selection. |

Just curious, since this sounds like you're quoting a brochure. Do you work for them or are you associated with them in any way? |

Hi!
You could do the battery replacement yourself. However, this will require some skill and equipment. The batteries in these packs are often times soldered or tack welded together. (The heat from soldering can be harmful to the cells, so most of the time you will find tack welding holding the cells together.) The real tough part will be the battery pack controller. All modern laptop batteries are "smart" for safety and utility (wear-compensated battery meters are a by-product of this) purposes. Some of these controllers will shut down and not start up again if they lose power. I've heard people here say good things about Pacific Battery, so I'd recommend getting in touch with them for a replacement battery. (I haven't tried them yet--although 3 years old, both of my Latitude D800 batteries are still working great. I have seen no significant drop-off in capacity.) There also independent (and chain based) battery sales companies that will put new cells in your old battery. William |

Furthermore, "Altap" doesn't say what laptop he has for which he bought a battery. *TimDaniels* It's possible to have alerts triggered based on text strings so the "Battech representative" could have an alert for "Pacific Battery". |
