Lynn, eh?

Do any of my fedi friends (in Canada!!!) know a good place to shop for laptop batteries?

I inherited my Oma's Lenovo T420s and its battery is at 75% health and only lasts about 2 hours even in performance mode.

Edit:
So far my options are
1) eBay
2) Canada Computers
3) Newegg
4) laptopparts.ca
5) trying to find an original (through Lenovo's website?)

@dhampirdamsel I'm in the UK, so you may get different results, but there are several on Ebay for a decent price (about £15, so prob $20 or so). I haven't had much luck getting batteries from bricks-and-mortar shops, big or small, for quite a while here, but I HAVE bought a fair few batteries off ebay over the years with few problems. Canada may be different, of course.

@dhampirdamsel 2hr for a many year old laptop is amazing!!! I used to know 3rd party places, but I don't remember if they were Canadian. Please post about your results.

@dhampirdamsel I've gotten parts from laptopparts.ca before (although through bestbuy)

@dhampirdamsel I used to recommend greencell, but I've been very disappointed with the last three replacement batteries. So I can't give you a tip for a cheap replacement but I can tell you which ones I wouldn't buy.

Original battery is 60 bucks instead of the 30 a cheap replacement battery would cost, so I would probably buy that.

@dhampirdamsel may seem an obvious response, but Newegg.ca, if you want to order it online.

@dhampirdamsel Do you have Memory Express in your area? They might carry them.

If not try Canada Computers if they exist in your area.
