I have a great dell 1545 laptop that i have been using for the last 2 years.  I can count on one hand the number of problems i have had with it, thats how good its been.  However, recently i discovered that the battery is dead dead.  The laptop is out of warranty and a new battery from dell is around $200.  So does anyone have any suggestions/sites to avoid when purchasing an aftermarket battery?  Thanks!  :2thumbs:

NewEgg is the only place I get parts from.  I can't speak for third party battery quality, but these are a lot cheaper than $200.

Ebay or Newegg,

Its a bit of a toss when it comes to aftermarket batteries in terms of quality, but ive had good luck so far.

Just dont get the cheapest you can find, get something in the 40-60$ range

I ended up going with a battery from a company called SIB off of amazon.  Battery was shipped and after a full cycle of complete charge and complete discharge the battery was calibrated and has been working fine since.  It cost me $30 and comes with a 1 yr warranty.  Hopefully I wont have any problems with it down the road. thanks guys  :2thumbs:

I bought from these people off ebay. 9cell battery lasts on my modded Inspiron 1505 over 5 hours. Excellent customer service and fast shipping.
