Where should I buy a new laptop battery?
I have a Toshiba Satellite M65-S8092. Any suggestions?

I need one also. I am simply going to tear my compaq battery assembly apart and solder in some new Lithium Ions to replace the shot ones. I don't know what size I need, as I have not torn it apart yet, but I am guessing maybe $30.00 worth of batteries to fix.

Okay, the Toshiba part # is PA3431U-1BRS, and the best deal I can find on that is $127 shipped from Amazon.com itself. Toshiba wants $170.
Batteries.com has their own brand for $80. Lots of aftermarket ones shown on Amazon for $60-70. The Toshiba specs are 4300 mAh; the batteries.com is 4000 mAh. I guess I'm thinking of playing it safe with a Toshiba unit. Saving $60 won't seem so sexy if my laptop gets fried or the battery doesn't last as long. Thoughts?

I got a spare battery for my son's Dell laptop for free. Someone on Craigslist was giving it away. Cost me nothing and it works.
