Best place to buy laptop batteries?

[Jbailey]

I'm on the lookout for a new battery for my HP Pavilion dv9000. It's getting bad where I need it plugged in all the time or it will die after 5min. Now it won't charge and stays right at 33%. I was wondering if there good places online to buy from.

Thanks

Honestly, I try to find an original battery if I can, I've had bad luck buying the Chinese knockoffs on the bay. In fact I need to send another back to China tomorrow because it is screwed up.

Yea, they (original ones) are way more expensive, but in my experience buying a dozen or so over the past 15 years, the cheap knockoffs suck.
