Laptop Battery
I had a Dell laptop. The battery wouldn't hold a charge and would get really hot during use. But it was not one of the models that was recalled so I was forced to find another solution. I bought a replacement laptop on www.laptopsforless.com and was really pleased. I would recommend checking them out if you need a new laptop battery.
