    Hi

    I try to get a 9 Cell battery at Dell.com, but it seems I can't find it within the sites. Do you guys have other website to get your new battery? I checked newegg, it didn't have my Dell e6400 battery available.

    Thank you.

    Newegg will not have your laptop battery.
    You are best off finding your battery through Google.

    Research a 9 cell battery for it, and try to find the model number.
    When you find the model number of the battery, run a google shopping search and you will find a few online e-tailers which carry it
    Please run a reseller rating search on the company before buying from them.

    i have a toshiba satellite A105-s2031 latop and batt. model no.PA3451U-1BRS
    when i googled it i came up with following links:

    http://www.ebuybatteries.com/product/laptop_batteries/Toshiba/Toshiba-S-PA3451U-1BRS.htm
    http://www.upgrademaster.com/satellite-a105-s2031-c1751/
    http://www.atbatt.com/product/19618.asp
    http://www.epmusa.net/products/Toshiba.S.PA3451U.1BRS.htm
    http://www.usbphoneworld.com/lbts33457.html?cvsfa=437&cvsfe=6&cvsfp=222200673

    i have following questions:

    1) now all the above websites are very new to me, so how do i check "run a reseller rating search on the company"??
    please let me know.
    2) also theres alot of variation in the price, at one website 6cell is for $79
    at another 8cell for $67
    3) also on these website it says A105 series, does that mean all A105 (including my S-2031 will use same batt.)

    thanks for reading and answering :)
    pls. let me know as i have to order one ASAP.

    Geronemo. the battery you are looking for seems to be the PA3451U

    For example, this is the battery of yours:
    http://www.google.com/products?q=PA3451U&hl=en&scoring=p

    This is the reseller ratings page:
    ebuybattery
    http://www.resellerratings.com/store/eBuyBatteries

    atbatt:
    http://www.resellerratings.com/store/AtBatt

    USB phone world:
    http://www.resellerratings.com/store/USB_Phone_World

    Just type the etailers store name into the "store finder" orange outlined box in top right corner, and it finds any reviews of the store. The higher the ranking the better, and that looks like ebuybattery is a pretty good one
