my laptop battery is well overdue for a replacement. i have a Dell Inspiron 6000. the battery on Dell's website costs about $150 however i know there are substitute brands for much less. is it safe to get them? does anyone know a reliable battery website? or does anyone have personal experience with secondary manufacturer batteries? thanks!
