So it's good that they also said "meet or exceed original specs" - Can you let us know how it holds up after a few weeks? Hopefully it works out, and maybe I'll have a new reliable source for batteries! :) ________________________________ From: John Aldrich [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, February 05, 2010 2:12 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Laptop batteries Well, I'm already here, and on the company clock, so it doesn't really matter if I take a few minutes to find a better deal. J With me being salaried, it kind of makes sense to me to try and save the company as much money as is reasonably possible. Of course there's a tradeoff of quality versus money saved, but I'm hoping this is going to turn out to be a good deal.

I have a bit of a different calculus, in that my time can also be billed to clients, but if it is going to take an hour or more to accumulate data and evaluate least cost choices on sub $100 purchases, I've wasted money (where time=money).

I try not to purchase from the company though as they seem to price the same battery higher than the resellers do. Jon On Fri, Feb 5, 2010 at 1:23 PM, John Aldrich < [email protected]> wrote: Ok. I'm down to either Provantage or Batteryedge.com. The latter is much less expensive, although it's not an HP battery. Provantage has several, including a brand-name HP battery. Is it worth an extra $30 or so to get an HP battery? Doesn't HP just buy their batteries from someone else and slap an HP label on 'em and mark 'em up 50% anyway? . . ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
