Emachines New Battery

[smurfchops]

I bought a compatible battery for my emachines e430 laptop and as it was quite cheap, it ran down quickly, I was forever charging it. Now I need another one. Where can I buy an emachines battery rather than a compatible? The Acer website is an 0871 number and is 13p a minite so anywhere else would be very much appreciated. Many thanks. Are Amazon worth a look?

There is an alternate telephone number for Acer direct instead of the 0871, which is 01484 319819. Might be a bit cheaper for you.

For info, if take a look at http://www.saynoto0870.com/search.php you can usually search for and find alternative business phone numbers listed there.

A quick look on Amazon came up with quite a few sellers, one of which is the following that has some good reviews of the battery purchase:-

Thanks pinky. I rang the 01484 number, they said they dont do spares... I had already looked up acerdirect on the sayno website and dialled the other number and it seemed to be someone's private line... The Amazon battery is a compatible. Help!!

His it possible to buy a compatible battery that doesnt run down quickly? That might be my last resort ...

I was almost given a load of e-systems batteries by PC world for the 8083 model some years ago. If it is compatible with your computer you can have one for the postage.

Jomifi that is very kind of you, sounds like could be a different model ... do you know if you have one for the correct model, which is e430, and how would I contact you?

I just looked it up, it's completely different I'm afraid , sorry to give you false hopes. :-(

No worries jomifl the thought was there!

The following appears to be selling genuine ACER laptop batteries:-
