any spot to buy dell laptop battery besides dell?

Hybrid_theory · Sep 12, 2010, 02:43 PM

Dell wants $155 for a 6 cell battery. was wondering if theres other stores that sell them for less.

Mussels · Sep 12, 2010, 02:44 PM

its possible, but god knows how to find them.

Ebay often has cheap batteries, but odds are the quality wont be as good as the official ones.

IMO avoid second hand ones and only get new batteries, you never know how bad they will be til they arrive.

check e-bay I just bought a new one for my MacBook Pro, it looked just like the old one and came with a 3 year warranty....

I just bought a laptop battery that Dell wanted $135, for $40 including shipping from batteryedge.com

Don't forget to hunt for coupon codes.

It saved me an extra $6

eh too much work. its my dads money, its for his laptop after all

Kreij · Sep 12, 2010, 03:04 PM

Yeah, but your Dad will be impressed if you get him a battery for 10% of the Dell cost by spending about 1 minute checking for coupon codes. Shows fiscal responsibility.

Well 42.90 US, plus duty and more shipping to get it here. probably better to go with the canada site i found.

n-ster · Sep 13, 2010, 02:39 PM

I have a used battery, idk about the condition since it hasnt been charged for 2 1/2 months... for E15XX don't remember model, I'd want 9$ + ship, could sell you my broken (screen broke) laptop (exluding DVDRW and HDD) for 19$ + ship, in CAD ofc

My experience is that buying batteries and or chargers from these types of sites are hit or miss, some give you crap, others give you almost the real thing

newtekie1 · Sep 13, 2010, 02:44 PM

I usually go with BatteriesPlus, they usually have good quality batteries, and if they don't have it in the store they can order it.
