Also, Ubuntu deployment at bookstore...<br>> CC: kclug@kclug.org; pembo13@gmail.com<br>> <br>> I buy mine on ebay, or at least did. If you can find original (new)<br>> batteries for a good price on ebay, do it. I have had good luck with<br>> the seller "Lark Battery". I bought two "re certified" batteries off<br>> ebay, and neither would hold much of a charge. They also didn't fit<br>> as smoothly as authentic new batteries did. It was a costly mistake.<br>> If you are going to use your laptop batteries, spending a little more<br>> to get new, and authentic from the laptop manufacturer ones is worth<br>> it.<br>> <br>> Locally I've used a supplier in fairfax called "Wholesale batteries<br>> Inc." They are great for UPS and larger batteries. I bought four<br>> that I could barely carry for a UPS renovation, and they still run for<br>> an hour without draining noticeably with about 10-15A 120v load.<br>> <br>> Also, Electronic Supply of Kansas City, on Main downtown<br>> (816-931-0250) is pretty good but only open during prime business<br>> hours.<br>> <br>> On Wed, Mar 5, 2008 at 1:41 AM, Arthur Pemberton <pemboa@gmail.com> wrote:<br>> > On Wed, Mar 5, 2008 at 1:18 AM, Chuck <chuck@mutualaid.org> wrote:<br>> > > Can anybody point me to a reputable place online (or locally) where I<br>> > > can buy a replacement battery for a Toshiba laptop?
