[wellylug] Laptop Batteries...

[Chris Hodgetts]

It's the only one that any one at work knew about -- I have not actually
contacted them about my Compaq battery,   and I had people from the lug
say  they had used them and they were good..

however if anyone has another co. they wanna suggest then be my guest :)
This is the first time I have had to replace the battery, so never
really have looked into this before :)
