I am looking to get a new battery for an IBM X30 that I bought used. The price of a new one from IBM is like half of what I paid for the laptop, so that is out. Basically I am looking at maybe eBay or battery reffilers.
I am a bit leary of getting a new battery on eBay that is not made by IBM. Are these any good, or is it a gamble as to if it will really be a good battery or not? My only problem with the battery refill option is I need to send off the current battery for whatever amount of time, meaning I can't use the laptop. If it is the better option I can live with it easy enough, or just use it connected to AC while it is out.
Anyone with any experience with either route that can give some input it would be greatly appreciated.
