Battery for a laptop

[Ovreel]

I've had my Dell inspiron e1505 for about 2 years now, and the battery is wearing down a bit. It originally lasted ~8 hours, but now is down to 3-4 hours usually. I checked the Dell website and the only ones I saw there were all ~$150, and had bad reviews. I was wondering if anyone had some suggestions for where to look, what brands or models to be looking for?

No, but try resetting the battery manager. The battery may have more life than you think. You can often do this manually with a couple full charge-discharge cycles.

Bios -> Calibrate battery if the option is available. Otherwise.... take a chance on eGay and amazon.
