I was thinking of trying it one time but the $$$$ was always going sumwhere else.
Still tho, any1 uses them, plz report back. I got a new lappy that I know will need a new one in a year and a half or so.

Prejudice against alternate consciousness would probably make JFK laugh at you; Carl Sagan would probably say you have a blindspot.

I dunno...there is more to a battery than just the cells, there is circuitry that may last longer, but is still prone to wear/shorting over time. $110 for a new oem battery or about $80 for a refill? Over a 3 year or so lifespan (I seldom have batteries crap out in 2 years), that just is not enough price difference to get me to switch. Now, if it was half the price of a new battery...

Depending on your job situation, it might be a better use of your time to just buy an OEM pack and forget that tutorial, but for the tinkerer looking for experience.....

It kind of reminds me of a techie that makes >$30/hr making their own patch cords instead of buying them for a buck online but at least it keeps you sharp.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23032324 Wed, 16 Sep 2009 11:06:04 EDT Re: Laptop battery getting old , looking for a new. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23029762 Mont : thanks.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23029762 Tue, 15 Sep 2009 21:21:24 EDT Re: Laptop battery getting old , looking for a new. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23023565 toplevelpot : This may help.

I like saving money as much as anyone, but many/most 3d party battereis are at best inferior, and all too often do not work well at all in a given notebook. There is more to a battery than the cells and mah ratings...you'll pay a bit more for an oem battery, but you almost never will go wrong with that decision. A "killer" deal, $79 battery becomes a "killer-bad" deal if it is short-lived, or even worse yet, damages your computer!
