I rarely purchase much from eBay. Most of the stuff there scares me. I don’t care how many positive responses a seller gets. It’s just not in my nature to trust anyone; even more-so when that person is a stranger. Which is why I don’t generally buy anything from eBay that I need badly. I usually buy sports memorabilia and such. However, I have been having some problems with my laptop battery lately. I checked out a new replacement directly from HP.
$148.
That’s cheaper then the battery for my truck. That surely doesn’t sound worth it. After a bit of searching, I finally came across a “new in box direct replacement” from some seller in California. $33 plus shipping. It’s worth a shot at at price.
So far it’s working great. It was a generic replacement, so the section of the battery that fit into and locked on the side of the laptop itself didn’t fit properly. However, that piece slides right off; as does the same piece on my old battery. Switch-O-Change-O and all is wonderful. I charged it and the battery is running just fine, giving me about 4 hours of run time.
