Similar situation and response from me, I'm faced with shelling out $375
( !!! ) for my Acer's battery replacement, 2 years old and lasting 15
minutes. Have had the same place recommended to me as a cheaper (but
still not cheap) alternative, and just as soon as I've got a spare
couple of hundred dollars I'll get mine done - or maybe I'll just put a
down payment on a new laptop.
I never thought of looking into battery reliability or replacement cost
when buying it but won't make that mistake next time . . .
Cheers,
Roger

There is a place in Gasson Street, Battery Masta I think they are called.
No personal dealings, but have made enquiries a few times. Not cheap,
but neither are the "official" replacements.

Just had to get a new battery for the tosh... the 2.5 hours of stated

Is there anywhere I can take the old one to get the cells replaced? It's a
li-ion battery. I'd rather use someone who people have had dealings with
for obvious reasons!
Cheers,
