Compaq Armada 110 - Dead Battery

[Maddie]

I have a Compaq Armada purchased in September 2001. Because I didn't use it for a long time the battery went dead. I've been told that it is not worth purchasing a new battery because they are so expensive.

Do I have any other options, (apart from plugging it into the mains every time I use it)? Does anyone know where I could purchase a battery andhow expensive it would be.

Thanks

Hello Maddie,

I have had good luck with Laptop parts (http://www.getpartsonline.com/index.html) and they offer some great deals.

Hi Maddie,

Do a Search on eBay for Armada 110 and you'll find defunct laptops with batteries being sold for spares - might be worth a punt for around £20. Beware battery sellers in Taiwan and Hong Kong though.

Thank you both.

I will explore these options.
