Help I have no idea what to do or buy!

Hi i bought my Hp pavilion dv6700(i think, dunno how to check). It's one of those top of the line models with the huge 12 cell battery that makes it stand on its ***. Now im wondering if I can get a normal, flat replacement when i want to use my laptop on well.. my lap?

heres some info on my laptop that might help..
amd 2.2 turion 64 x2 TL-64
4gb ram
geforce 8400m gs graphic card
wireless, abcde and N tech
finger print

thats about all i know about my laptop and this batteries got to go.. its good for typing on the desk but it sucks balls on my lap.

if anyone knows if there is a flat replacement and the price it would be much appeciated i can also search the recept tomrrow to see the real model number if that helps.

battery looks like this

 

If you do indeed have the dv6k series notebook then there's the 6 cell being sold from the hp website: http://www.shopping.hp.com/webapp/s...&v1=Batteries&product_code=EV088AA&catLevel=2

 

If it's DV6700, then you can get this 6-cell one:

Look under your laptop for a label, you should able to find out the exact model.

EDIT: Prydeless beat me to it.

 

Look on the bright side - elevation from the desk helps with cooling.

How high can you OC that bad boy?

 

ehehehehe you guys are like robots such fast and amazingly good replies

anywhooo my model number is dv6864ca.. and it does say dv6700! yaay

also will my charger work on this battery? since my charger is for the 12 cell doesnt it mean it will cook the 6 cell and make it explode in my face and then im a millionaire from sueing hp's butthole?!

 

The charger is the same reguardless of battery.

 

Thanks for the help and quick replies everybody. I found the same one that hp is sell on ebay for 90 bucks cheaper lol... hp are a bunch of scammers ehehe... http://cgi.ebay.ca/NEW-Battery-for-...ryZ16182QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem boo ya gotta love ebay at times.

 

Depends on the battery, as the cells in some aftermarket replacements can be seriously lacking (to put it mildly). Still, it's cheap enough to gamble on provided it does not explode in the laptop.............

 

could happen

 

Hopefully not.

My experiences with low-cost aftermarket batteries are generally the limited charging cycles. They tend to have a shorter lifespan, but I guess that is to be expected considering the much lower price.

 

Don't cheap out on the battery. It is not worth it buy from the MFG. I do know the price is high but the batt is not the component to gamble with. Read my share of posts of bad aftermarket batts. Bad batt can damage notebook without blowing up.
