    I found that my battery is toast in my computer. I am only squeezing 2 hrs out of a charge now. I need to get a replacement. I know that some on ebay/amazon are crap batteries. Anyone know where I can get a quality replacement?

    Have you looked directly from Dell? What is your battery or laptop model number?

    It for my 5368. I have not looked for the battery number yet. I am guessing dell would be crazy expensive for it? If not, I will just go that route. I will call them after.

    I think it's worth a shot. Sometimes they have decent deals. Sadly if they don't then going third party is probably your best bet. You can try to search ebay for a genuine battery but you never know what kind of shape it's really in. Dell may still be using that battery in laptops so searching by the model number of the battery may be best.
