Replacement batteries for my old Dell Inspiron?

[_tom_]

Battery on my Inspiron 6000 has finally died. It was going downhill with its charge time so it was expected. Any ideas for a good, cheap replacement? There are some on ebay from hong kong and most of the feedback is good, but quite a few say that the battery doesnt fit or work properly.

Cheap as possible please

Yeah I dont think I treated my battery too well, I didnt let it discharge properly and always left it in when the mains were on. Now I can turn the computer on and log in but then it'll die

Ouch, still quite expensive Was thinking about just buying a new netbook (that one they have on Mesh for £200 at the minute) anyway so its probably worth doing that as it'll be a lot more efficient I guess.
