Every computer owners nightmare

Where should I get a long lasting battery, and what kind?

I put this in the chillout form because its an opinion,

I bought one here for a good price: HP Li-ion Laptop battery ev089aa for HP Pavilion dv2000, dv6000

Who else has an idea? I would like a battery that lasts for about 3 hours.. for my compaq presario CQ60 lap

Then you want this one: Amazon.com: (Extended Battery) HP Compaq Presario CQ40 CQ45 CQ50 CQ60 CQ70 Battery Replacement 485041-001 485041-003 487296-001 487354-001 497694-001 498482-001 [8800mAh/95Wh]: Electronics

Be careful about buying a battery from a seller a long way away from where you are. I'm in the US and bought one from an eBay seller in China --- problem was, the model I received was apparently a knock-off and not an exact fit for my laptop. To make a long story short, although the seller was very nice, he would not pay for any shipping charges, and the cost of returning my new battery across the world and having a replacement battery shipped -- not to mention the time it would have taken --- it just wasn't worth it, so I duct-taped my new battery into my laptop and have used it that way ever since. It is really unsightly, and if I jostle the laptop a bit, the battery frequently dislodges iteself (so that it no longer makes contact), but otherwise, if I'm real careful, the battery does work.

Don't screw around with cheapo knock off chinese batteries. Pony up the money for the vendors battery. Get the extended battery to get more life.
