Laptop Battery

Hi Everyone

I have been trying (unsuccessfully) to find a new battery for my EiSystem laptop. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance

    ebay.

    There are some batteries for "common/popular" makes and models.

    Do not buy a 2nd hand one.

    Some companies offer to "refurbish" your battery. If you find one and you get a quote for less than £150 let me know please. Most will not touch Li-ion lithium batteries because of the H&S issues (explosion etc). They may well attempt a NiMH rebuild.

    My last 2nd hand laptop I checked I could get replacement batteries before buying, once bitten.

    Failing that you might find an external Li-ion battery pack. Throw away the internal one and just lug about the extra stuff.
