For those of you who have 12-cell battery compatible with the dv5t-1000 series...could you please tell me what the HP part # is? It should be on a sticker right on the battery itself. Planning to order one off amazon or somewhere cheaper...

Thanks.

**By the way, if you guys have any suggestions as to where to buy the cheapest 12-cell battery for this notebook, that'd be awesome. I'm gonna start looking tonight. Thanks again.

The part number is KS526AA from HP or SPS-484172-001 from the battery sticker. For HP batteries check links below.

HP: $149.99, plus tax, with free shipping

NewEgg: $127.99, no tax, plus shipping

The one at NewEgg was on sale a few weeks ago for $99.99 but that looks to be over now.

Aftermarket though, I've never tried. Perhaps someone else here may have some experience and suggestions. Be advised however, that some of the aftermarket 12 cells do not include HP's built-in LED battery level indictor that's visible from the right side of the computer when installed (if that matters to you).
