[clue-tech] Where to purchase replacement laptop battery?

[Jack Parker]

I had a lot of trouble with older Dells and charging batteries.  On one CPx
I upgraded the BIOS (downloaded from Dell) and it started working again.  On
another it didn't.  I've given up on batteries for those three and only use
them plugged in.

I appreciate the feedback on places to purchase batteries.

However, I just discovered, if I check the battery power on the battery
itself, it says it's full.  Meanwhile, the laptop flashes orange LEDs at me
within a few minutes of unplugging the power supply and shuts down quickly.

Five months ago, I borrowed another Dell power supply because I forgot mine.
It was not the same model power supply, but it worked fine.  I don't know if
that could have damaged something in the recharging circuity on the laptop?


Bottom line, I'm wondering if getting a new battery is going to solve my
problem.
