Laptop battery

My laptop has just informed me that I should consider buying a new battery (after 18 months). Anyone know a reliable place to get reasonably priced new batteries?

    Just a word of advise , if your lappy is plugged in the the mains for long periods of time make sure you remove the battery, or as you noticed it will ruin the battery very fast :D

    My three year old Toshiba laptop is always used on mains, once a month I use the battery just to discharge/recharge it, it still gives me over an hour and a half use.
