My dads 2060CDS laptops battery just died but Im a little outraged
by the prices charged for a replacement. Are there any decent sources
at a more reasonable price out there?

Thats about what I paid for a replacement battery for a Toshiba 7010CT
last year. However, my battery is 6 amp-hours, whereas the original one
was no more than 2.5Ah.

Paying about as much for a new battery as the old laptop is worth may
seem rather steep, but its not as bad when you consider youre getting
Centrino levels of battery life.

If you use it in one spot on AC, investing in a UPS is better idea than
buying a new laptop battery. That way you have backup power for
cable/DSL modem, a small lamp, laptop, and cordless phone too when the
power goes out.
