    Hi,

    The time has come after a few years of good use to replace the battery in my trusty M1530.

    Where is the best place to get a decent price on a 9-Cell?

    Is it safe to go for a non-dell battery? In terms of do unofficial ones overheat, or not last as long? My original has always held between 6 and 2.5 hours charge over the last 2 years, but recently Windows started telling me to change the battery and it lasts more like an hour.
