BattDepot,anyone here use them?

Hi folks,I'm looking to get a new battery for my wife's laptop.It's aToshiba Satellite.I went on Toshiba's site & they were selling for 129(basic)-149$(improved/pro)

So I searched around some more & came across this place BattDepot.They had them A LOT less ,29.99(basic) -$41.99(pro)

I know nothing about these things,so I tried to call them & have them walk me thru it.There was no answer.It went straight to VM.Normally that's a red flag for me,but their site looks legit.Maybe they're really busy & understaffed?I'm a little leary,cause that price seems too good to be true.

Anyone ever order from them?How'd it go?

Also,If someone here knows about laptops,I'm looking at this battery for :

Toshiba Satellite
L645D-S4050

Maybe you could let me know if it's the right one.

Thanks

have you ever heard of battery plus?? they got battery for every thing. I would try them first. I just got 3 scooters from a K-Mart that was closeing down. one was for parts and the other two need batterys and I bought them from there. A+++

Try EBAY...

Lots of choices, some better than others. Even the OEM factory original: HERE if that makes you feel better.

Thanks guys,I decided to give them(BattDepot) a shot.I got the best version w/3yr warranty for $49.99 +shipping.

1000+ charge cycles
3+ years of like-new performance
3-5 times longer battery service life
Minimize possession cost
Environmentally sustainable
Retains 80% original capacity after 1000 charge cycles

I took out the battery & matched the model# with what I bought,so it should be right.

I'll post back here when I get it.

Or you could just buy the *clone* battery.

You know, just to see if you like it before spending $$$ on the real one...
