| 1338823 | 2013-04-29 06:32:00 | So my laptop's now complaining that the battery's dead and dying, and what used to last a bus ride home from town now only lasts maybe 15-20 minutes before needing to be plugged in. Since I don't have a couple grand for a new one, and since I've only got a short while left at university, but still need it to run away from a power point sometimes, I think a new battery is in order. So, where would one go to get a replacement? My laptop is a Gateway NV59 (18a), the battery's a 10.8V 6 cell, and the actual part number is AS09A61. If I could find one, I'd like to get a 12 cell. Oh and I hear the local official supplier is Dove. Last time I called them they said a new battery would be $180 for a 6 cell. Plus I don't have a Dove account. Looking online it seems there's places to get them, but I've no idea if they're trustworthy or not. www.storebattery.co.nz 12 cell www.storebattery.co.nz Any suggestions? Also, edit: would it be ok to use a 11.1V cell instead of a 10.8V cell? Last time I asked the general consensus was 'yes' but I just wanted to check. |
