Notebook Battery

It shouldn't cost the same but if it does then it may have been repacked with higher capacity batteries or you've been ripped off...maybe both.
It's an easy job to diy if you can get into the case.I may be mad but I'm not crazy

yea what I meant is repacked wont last as long as new.. Didnt explain it well.

Tried it numerous times at work with Compaq lappy batteries

Pioneer Notebook DS270. This is a Sydney based company that builds computers to your requirements. It is a reliable unit...only complaint I have is the DVD sound output is very soft....but I could plug external speakers in if necessary.

All that will happen is that you will blow the regulator or fuse out in the batt pack.

notebooks and mobile phone now have to have regulators or fuses inside the battery packs to get CE or C-Tick certification.

yeah, cannot wack the whole pack at once but each cell seperately after opening the case and pulling apart.I may be mad but I'm not crazy

You are right on the button,Bob....I have never been in the Qantas Club lounge and am always somewhere at the back of the plane lookin g for two seats to fit in to. The most risque thing I have done is to take my mobile phone overseas and paid through the nose for that priviledge.

In fact I run the laptop on mains power at home and have an inverter in my truck. I normally use the battery when I fire up the laptop and then charge the battery up when it tells me to. I guess I do not need a battery at all.
