so i have a Dell inspiron e1405. its the last dell i will ever buy. ive had it for a while. bottom line is i cant afford a new one, and this one is plenty fast for whatever it is i use it for (mainly web, gps, word processing, picture editing, even handles solidworks very well). its been an OK laptop except for the battery, which died about a year after i bought it. (just after the warranty ran out) so ive been living with battery life in the 20 minute range or so, and that was fine. but this quarter im stuck on campus for 8 hours at a time, and cant always find a plug, so its time for a new battery.
dell wants 156 dollars for the replacement high capacity battery... hahahahahhaahah yeah no thanks! if i could afford that i could afford a new laptop!
where have you gone to get a new battery for a laptop? there are hundreds on ebay, but ebay batteries scare me. has anyone purchased a battery from there that was good? if so, can you give me the seller's name?
any other websites that sell them at a discount? im looking to spend no more than 100 shipped. i used to do this for a living but have lost my contacts and the one store i used has since folded.
thanks guys! much appreciated!
