I previously used www.laptopbatteryshop.co.uk to replace the battery on my then Acer TravelMate 2414, after about 12 months the original battery would only hold 10% of the original charge but I got a new one from here for about £40 and it had double the capacity of the original battery, the battery life with the new one was amazing!

I can assure you, you are able to share information regarding battery purchasing, thats the whole point of the te thread

I could not find my battery listed in the batteryshop, anyone got any other reasonable places to get a laptop battery?

Not Hong Kong! I got an Acer one from Hong Kong (cheap ha ha ha) but it was rubbish, and only lasted 6 months. You get what you pay for!

Have you asked PC world to recommend one? (and then try to source it cheaper...)

If it's an own-brand one, you might be limited to Partmaster
