[nfbcs] Finding a New Laptop Battery

[I. C. Bray]

Chris,

I have seen laptop batteries at Wal-Mart, believe it or not.
Best Buuy can be a source as well.

If you like, I can take the make / model from you off-list, and ask my local 
guys here.

I have a great relationship with many former Best Buy guys & Laptop Techs.

Ian

: Hello All,
:
:
:
: I would like to begin this first post by introducing myself. As my display
: name suggests, I am Chris Nusbaum. I am currently a high school student 
here
: in Maryland with an interest in technology, particularly technology
: training. You may recognize my name from other NFB listservs, as I am an
: active contributor to many of them. I look forward to observing the
: discussion on this list and contributing where I can.

:
:
: Now, on to my question. I currently use an HP laptop running Windows 7 
Home
: Premium. I have had this computer for about 3 years now and it looks as
: though my current battery has run its course. The battery will now only 
hold
: a charge for about 10 minutes before unexpectedly dying. Therefore, as you
: might imagine, I am in the market for a new battery. So, are there any
: places you would recommend where I could purchase this battery online? I
: have checked HP's Web site, Amazon, and pricewatch.com. HP would only give
: me information for local resellers, and even the salesman at my local
: Staples told me he would not recommend buying the battery there, as it is
: very overpriced. Amazon offered a battery for $30, but the customer 
reviews
: were not glowing. The customers said that this battery was a " cheap
: off-brand" which died within a month. So, where else can I turn? Are there
: any sites which could offer me an HP battery without the markup of 
Staples?
: Any help with this would be appreciated.

: Thanks in advance,
