Dell Laptop Battery Question
Hello,
I have a Dell laptop computer that I am guessing needs a new battery. The led lights keep blinking 1 green and 4 yellow the same all the time in a repeating row. The computer also does not hold it's battery charge as long as it used too. Also, my battery has these markings, LI-ION Battery - Type #6T473 BATDWOOL 14.8V 6450- MAH Capacity 96WH Is it possible to buy a aftermarket battery rather than buy from Dell (expensive). Any help would be appreciated. Thank you |

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you I'm pretty sure it's possible to get a compatible replacement, but laptop batteries, and other higher quality batteries ARE expesnive. That does not change much. That battery, on Ebay is going for $50. This is a refurb. $43 http://stores.channeladvisor.com/lap...itemid=2253370 |

The basic trick here is to find the company that is offering quality at a decent price. You can rummage around ebay, but when you look at the Internet statistics they seem to continually bend right back to that source for the scams and dissatisfied customers. -- Jan Alter or |
