Hi All,

I'm looking for the best/ cheapest place to buy a laptop battery.

I'm after a hstnn-ib17 for an HP5056EA.

I've seen some fair prices on ebay although they seem to be from Hong Kong sellers...

Any advice appreciated.

Thanks

    Dan, you really do need to decide whether you want the best or cheapest.
    Those two criteria are mutually exclusive.

    Put "buy hstnn-ib17 laptop battery" into google, tick uk websites only, and trawl through the sites that pop up !! Do the legwork, it's the best way :) Oh, and don't forget that there are some battery specialists/computer shops through quidco :D

    Good service.

    I've also bought from Hong Kong via eBay and the battery I got was better than the original mftrs one.
