How Do I Choose A Laptop Battery Replacement

How Do I Choose A Laptop Battery?

Good question...   The answer is not as daunting as you might think...

DON'T GO TO THE MANUFACTURER...UNLESS YOU HAVE

There are tons of online retailers of laptop batteries and adapters that can deliver equal quality to Original Manufacturers Equipment.  

A lot of consumers worry about the level of quality of aftermarket batteries. The funny point is, these after market battery manufacturers sometimes make the batteries for those big laptop brands.
If you need a Laptop Battery for:
-HP
-Dell
-IBM
-Toshiba
-Asus
-Gateway
-Acer
-Lenovo
-Sony
-Compaq
-Apple
- or any other model of latop
This is interesting...If you own a dell notebook battery and wanting to invest in a "genuine" Dell battery, and you go to DELL's official web site only to find that they offer you non DELL brand batteries. What?  How can this be?   Funny uh?  The story is, they don't want you to invest in batteries, they want you to buy a NEW laptop! That is why they have quite limited support and supplies for those accessories, although their speed of generating new laptop computer models out of the factory is super. Now you know why.
I do not hesitate to use an aftermarket battery as long as the seller presents a great return policy and very good warranty on their Laptop Batteries and Adapters. Like a 1 year warranty. You will find that you will pay 1/2 or 1/3 of the OEM prices, and get a great Laptop battery or Adapter for as long as the OEM counterparts, that's good enough for me.  Besides, where do you think most of these companies get their actual battery cells anyway?  They buy them from the same Japanese, Korean, Chinese Li-Ion laptop battery cell manufacturers as HP, Sony, Dell, Compaq and the rest of them and wrap them in a hard plastic case and mark them up.   Why pay more for a quality laptop battery for your HP Pavilion Dv2000 or other if you don't need to?
