What are some good on-line places to buy laptop batteries?

Would like to hear your experiences, both good and bad.

Thanks,

But is it not the case that a new battery - even if original and
shrink-wrapped, _could_ be a lemon if it has sat on a shelf somewhere
for years ? Do LiON batteries not degrade with age even if unused ?

I need a new one for my IBM T20, but I'm a bit wary of ebay for this
reason, unless the manufacture date is stated ....

I had the same issue a couple of months ago. I purchased my new
battery from www.provantage.com and although NOT CHEAP, it was
considerably less than other non-ebay vendors.

I got mine from http://www.intelligentbatteries.com/ . They were fast and
the battery good.

What particular HP battery model are you looking for? I have a new
and unused one for a zt1000 available.
