Question by AgentAC: Where can I find a external laptop battery charger for Gateway NV5378u?
My laptop was dropped and landed right on the plug-in, breaking the charger outlet. So instead of buying a whole new motherboard or soldering a new plug-in in, I would like to find an external charger just for the the battery since I only use this laptop for an hour or two at most, but I cannot find a charger for this model of computer. Maybe someone knows a reliable location I could find one? Thank you for the help!

i understand what you are trying to do but have never seen such a device. problem is that there are a plethora of different voltages and connectors for laptop batteries and the device would have to fit it exactly.

Answer by Agent Xero
Unfortunately no, the laptop’s uses too much power to have a carry around battery pack, the item your talking about would be larger than the actual laptop.

You have a few options though:
Option 1:
Get several extra high capacity batteries that fit your laptop, although that may become a little expensive as each extra battery can cost $ 60 each. and at about 3-4hr of charge per battery you’ll need quite a few.

Option 2:
Some buses have cigarette lighters or power outlets on board, call up your charter bus company to see if it has either on board. You may be able to use a power inverter with the cigarette lighter to give yourself a power outlet, or if it has power outlets thats even better, just plug in and enjoy.

best of luck.

What causes a laptop battery to burn?

Question by Chapulin: What causes a laptop battery to burn?
My laptop connector is loose so I need it replaced and I will need a new charger because it won’t charge anymore, the charger needs to be connected in order for the laptop to turn on.

I used my laptop throughout the day and only charged it until it needed more battery juice. I never left it charging overnight because I feel it would be too much charging.

What causes a laptop battery to fry or burn and not work anymore? Because I see laptops in Best Buy or Office Depot and they are charged throughout the whole day and they are fine.

Best answer:

Answer by Bjorn
If the power connector is loose, getting it fixed is all you will need to do. The charger should still be fine, it just can’t get the power to the computer.

The thing that makes batteries burn out is that they are not able to withstand heat very well. Heat severely shortens the life of Lithium-Ion batteries like you see in most laptops, and laptops generate a lot of heat.

The best way to prolong the battery life is to charge it until it is full, then remove it from the laptop. Unfortunately, that prevents you from using the battery as a battery backup should the power go out.

Li-Ion batteries are still the best combination of life and cost of production in order to keep the laptop price low.

Question by : My replacement laptop battery comes unplugged when I life the laptop, what can I do?
I bought a replacement battery for my laptop. It was working fine until i realized the only reason it was working fine was because it was either plugged in or sitting on something.

When I lift up the laptop or take pressure off the bottom the battery no longer has contact with the laptop because it isnt quite big enough. Is there anything I can do, or something I am missing?

I did order the right battery, but it was a knockoff.

Question by eltee115: Need help on choosing laptop battery replacement?
I have a Dell Latitude D630 laptop whose battery is dead – When I look at Dell’s replacements they are expensive and customer’s gave them lousy ratings – How about a non OEM battery and from where and how to pick a quality seller and power rating – I fell kind of overwhelmed. Help!

Best answer:

Answer by turbo360
Yes, thats true.. OEM batteries are expensive. There’re a few online stores you can get a non OEM from, but prices will vary. If you want to do some bargain shopping, then you’ll have to compare prices from different online stores. For non OEM batteries for dell and other brand laptops; go to www.lowcost-computerparts-accessories.com to compare prices
Goodluck!

Q&A: Can I Replace My Dell Laptop Battery With Another Brand?

Posted on by

Question by sweetbrista: Can I Replace My Dell Laptop Battery With Another Brand?
I have an Inspiron E1505. The battery (85 WHr 9-Cell) died about 6 months ago. The battery lasted about a year and a half. Replacement batteries are $ 155 each from Dell so I haven’t had the money to replace it yet. I found a site called Laptop Battery Depot that is selling the same battery for much less — $ 87. Still a lot but it won’t kill me nearly as much. My Dell battery says, “Replace only with Dell battery module type UD265. To be used only in Dell Notebook Computers.”

If I replace the battery with the off-brand version, will my laptop explode or something? Or is that warning just a way to make sure people buy the product from Dell?

Plus, the Laptop Depot website has a 2-yr warranty on all their batteries so it seems like a way better deal (as long as it doesn’t cause my laptop to explode). Dell has NO warranty on their batteries — or their AC adapters. Probably because they’d never make any money and either would have to make a product that works or replace everybody’s batteries and adapters every year! I have to buy a new adapter from Dell for another $ 70 — this will be my third time since buying the laptop 2 years ago! It’s coming apart at the end that plugs into the computer. And no, I do not pull it out of the wall, smash it, whatever – most of the time, my laptop sits on the desk all by itself. And since there are dozens of reviews on Dell’s website complaining about the exact same issue, you’d think Dell would admit there’s a problem with the design and fix it.
My warranty was up in June anyway, so I’m not too worried about that! Thanks!

Best answer:

Answer by The J-ster
yes. there are 3rd party bettery makers out there who specialize in making cheaper batteries. the thing is if you are still under warranty and you use a 3rd party battery that will void you warrenty. so if you use it and something bad happens just make sure not to tell them you were using a 3rd party battery.

I have a HP HSTNN-CB72 laptop that I bought over a year ago. I’ve searched on the net and not been able to find batteries that I can buy to put in my laptop.
Anybody know if I can buy a new battery and from where (in the UK)

Thanks!

Answer by MICHAEL S
As your laptop is fairly new, you should be able to get a replacement one quite easy, I would stay clear from cheap ones you might find on ebay or similar, as loads are imports from china and therefore might not be genuine and my not be safe, have heard of stories of cheap ones over heating and catching fire.
PC World or curries are a good start, or go onto HP website, they might have online shop or certainly they will advise where you should be able to buy one.
