I bought a replacement battery a few years back for a notebook and it worked fine (lasted longer than the original). Unfortunately I have since rebuilt the computer and have lost my 'favourites'. I think it might have been called batteryguru or batteryforce.

yep! that was my first port of call but you can only buy from abroad and I don't want to risk that - there is someone selling a used one on there now, but I'm not risking that either!!0
