Battery won't hold charge

[MattStone]

The battery on my Inspiron 8k doesn't seem to be holding a charge anymore. Do I have any course of action other than buying a new one?

You could also look for a used or refurbished battery. There are also third party manufacturers selling batteries as well. I have done business with FedCO for years, and have not had problems with their products.

jschuk is correct, Fedco is a VERY good source for batteries, ive also done business with battery biz, and BTI (battery technology) but they are less reliable. Fedco is much more business oriented and they have a HUGE selection.
