I have an hp dv1000 laptop and its battery is beat. With wifi off, brightness all the way down, and only word open, I get maybe an hour and ten minutes, tops. I’m sitting in Lockwood right now and the guy next to me has the dv1240 or something. He said he bought a new, bigger battery off [kahlon.com](http://kahlon.com), and it gets way more battery life. I’m just curious if this is a good manufacturer, and maybe what some of my other battery options out there are. holla ---

Sounds like it would be better than a beat battery any day. You can snoop around ebay for a battery. My brother just bought a new dell lappy, and when we did the online checkout there were literally 4 different upgrade batteries available (for extra money). The most expensive one was like 149 dollars extra. I think you would be fine with any name, so long as the battery is new. ---

Interesting they have a “battery base” available for my old Compaq Armada 4131T. 9500mAH FTW, bet that will add some heft. 🙂 However $400 out of my wallet would make up for the increase of weight. Consumer ratings seem a bit on the iffy side. Just see if an OEM high capacity battery is available. ---

OEM parts on ebay are dirt cheap (at least for dell, although proly knockoffs) I’d assume that you could find a decent HP battery on there cheap. ---

the guy had a battery from that site, although slightly larger physically, that he said lasted 4 hours easy. i could definately deal with that
