where to buy laptop batteries online?

[NTB]

I am considering getting this notebook, which is in this weeks CC ad for $650. I know it's not a powerhouse, but I don't plan on playing any big games on it, either. I just want something that will let me take my work outside my home or office on a nice day. The only real problem I see with it is the battery; I believe it's only a 4- or 6-cell Li-ion. HP/Compaq makes a higher capacity battery for this computer, but I'm not sure where to look for it. HP's site itself lists them, but they're not in stock. suggestions?

I have a Sony laptop and when its battery failed I bought one from here and here both work fine and were much less expensive than the Sony battery.

Thanks for the links 🙂 I actually managed to get one of the laptops, and at the moment I'm just removing all the junk software I'll never use 😛

how much difference does a higher capacity battery make? Just curious. Using the battery that came with this thing, it looks like I could get about 2 hours out of it, maybe a bit more. As long as I'm not watching a DVD or something, that is 🙂

Be warned, many aftermarket batttery packs are badly made. Badly made lithium-ion packs, like the ones used in laptops, can melt through the frame of a car.
If you can find one, try and get a Saphion-based battery pack. Aside from the slightly higher capacity, Saphion (lithium-ion-phosphate) cells will not blow up like standard Lithium-Ion (Lithium-carbon) cells would.
