Battery for computer

Post by Dot »

Mine has died so has any one got any suggestions as to where I may find one at a good price?

Make & model Dot? (of laptop)
If you are on 240V all the time I suggest you remove the battery.
There are good Aussie suppliers but I've been getting replacements from China. Surprising how quick too!!
The exchange rate will raise prices very shortly if not already.

Be careful Dot. Sometimes (read ALWAYS) you get what you pay for. On the battery you will find a power rating (mAh) with the higher number (4200mAh in my case) being better - battery should last longer.

I've got the same problem, but use my THREE year old as a desk top and rather than put money into a battery, I've decided to get something newer and a little more portable than this tank.

Experience is a wonderful thing. It helps you recognise a mistake when repeated.
