Laptop Battery question and suggesstion.

OT : the sentence on the "CON" section on that page is damm funny !....also I hope u went thru the conclusion section entirely !.....

definitely worth a try though.

1- Nehru Place?
2- Not really, the Make and series is all you need
3- Should be ~2.5-3K for OEM
4- Yup, expect precisely 1.5 X runtime
5 - None at all

As for reviving an old batt, not worth the headache at all...esp since a rebuilt Li-Ion battery can also be downright dangerous
Okay to do perhaps if you are a student on a tight budget...absolutely not OK if you have a kid in the house


Check here as well, friend bought a genuine battery for a 2 year old DV series for 3.4K

To save a cpl of grand you risk your laptop in the event of a fire or worse.

If Apple had probs with exploding/self-igniting batteries that presumably were professionally assembled, what are the odds the tinkerer could pull it off.

How hard can it be tho ?

All you are doing is soldering contacts and then repackaging it up.

Its not impossible but unless one *really* knows what goes where as well as the safety record of the replaced battereis, its a risk.

It would make a gr8 DIY, but buy a regular battery just in case

Its temptingly easy isnt it..but i suppose the 'dont try this at home' warning might be valid.
