Laptop Batteries... where do you go?
« on: February 09, 2011, 07:04:37 PM »
I have a Gateway 7844u (M Series) laptop.  The battery won't last more than about 30-45 min.  Where do you guys go for laptop batteries?  Is there a good place to get them from?

Work buys them from the manufacturer.  Beware exploding batteries.  Not kidding.

Well I don't plan on buying cheap just to save a buck.  I just want to get the best deal.

I bought a generic for my dell back in the day, didn't have any problems. I can't remember if I bought generic for my MBP though...
