I have an Hp DV6000 laptop and the battery is getting pretty useless, so I
went online to price them and I can pay from $24 to $149 for a new
replacement battery ! I understand that HP has to charge the highest price,
but how can prices vary so much with the hundreds of vendors ?
Comparing 6 cell to 6 cell and 12 cell to 12 cell pricing , there is no way
to tell whether it's better from vendor A or B or C or X.

So, I see HP, Rayovac, no names etc - any recommendations , experience
dealing with certain vendors, manufacturers ?

Thanks

I have purchased NEW laptop batteries on Ebay and never had a regret.
Know what you are looking for and what it is worth, and you can find
some bargains there. The deals exist where someone has something that
they want to unload as they no longer have a need for that item. The
ratings of the sellers is also very important.

That's what I did - over $25 has free shipping so it cost me $31.20 for a 12
cell battery. In the past the price was about $100 for a 6 cell and $150+
for a 12 cell. I just find it hard to believe they came down that much. but
vendor rated 4.5 stars. I'll update in a few months.
Thanks for the advice.
