I was wondering if anyone knew of any reputable sites to get replacement batteries for this model. I've searched on the internet a few times and all i could come up with was some Chinese website masquerading as an English site and random ebay sellers. The laptop was purchased from this site but it seems to be very hard to get replacement parts for this model, which is odd as it's really not that old.

I would also like a replacement keyboard for the same model but the battery is the main thing. The laptop is only a few years old but even on power saving mode the battery only lasts ~20 seconds when not plugged in. The connection between the power supply and the back of the laptop has also weakened over time. This means there's always some kind of mad scramble every time the cable falls out so that I can reattach it before it shuts down. This happens very frequently and i'm getting increasingly tired of it.
 
It seems normal for batteries to be sold from global corporations. Probably because there are so many types, warehousing must be a nightmare.
I can only suggest ebay as they do seem to side with buyers when things go wrong.
Andi.
 
I will have a look on ebay when i finish work tonight, but I don't really want to get a used battery as it could just be as bad or be on its way to being as bad as this battery.

I would like to replace this laptop with something more portable with much longer battery life but i can't really justify it as I haven't really had it that long in the grand scheme of things.
