Replacement battery for a laptop?

glatt · 07-17-2010, 02:13 PM

I want to get a replacement battery for my Dell Latitude D610. I understand there are off-brand batteries available that are decent and are about half the price of the official Dell part. Does anyone know which brand name batteries are good? Or if there is anything else I should look for? I went to Newegg but there were no helpful reviews there.

This is the one I got a month or so ago, though it's not the same as would be compatible with a D610. No complaints yet. As far as I can see, none of the knockoffs have a visible brand.

I highly recommend getpartsonline.com for laptop parts. I've ordered LCD displays, motherboards, keyboard, etc. from them for both home and work and have never been disappointed.

If they don't have what you need, kahlon.com has been pretty good too.

No way to know which batteries last much longer. For example, HP was installing in selective laptops the latest technologies that last much longer. Using consumers to test a 'whole new battery generation. If you had one, would you know? Some manufacturers simply sell a battery using technologies from 10 years ago - no longer sufficient.

The problem is a lack of any tech numbers or standards to know which are minimally sufficient and which are selling crap for high profit.

Do you need long battery life expectancy? If not, try the cheap one.
