    Hi,

    I live in Mexico and can't find anyone who sells these batteries. There are none -or I can't find any- in the Asus store.

    I've found a couple of Hong Kong sites selling what I assume are generic replacements. Anyone know where I can get a replacement?

    Thank you.

    Ok for those interested I got it here: Replacement Laptop Battery | Ink & Toner Cartridges | Lamps & Bulbs for Rear Projection, DLP, LCD, TVs & Multi Media Projectors

    I have nothing against Chinese sites but these guys have an actual address and telephone number, so it feels more legit.

    Shipping was a bit expensive but is UPS International which is very good and it's compensated because the battery was really cheap. Hope it works.

    I just bought it, will surely update this to tell you how it went.

    I'm looking for the same link. However the 3 year-old link doesn't still contain such battery when i click on it. My machine is G53JW and it'd great if i found hi-capacity like 5200 mAH. (75W)

    Is there a good replacement online for US shipping?

    I bough the replacement for mine from Amazon. It was $21 and free shipping. This was about 6 months ago. eBay also sells them, but make sure to check the sellers reviews.

    Yeah plenty of batteries were available for the G73JH on ebay etc.. They're not original but are generic and legit..

    Yeah, just make sure you cycle which ever new battery you get a few times. IE, charge to 100%, then run all the way down until pc shuts off. Do this 2-3 times and your battery should be calibrated properly.
