When it comes to using your laptop or notebook for work or play, there are few more annoying and frustrating things than pathetically short laptop battery life. After all one of the main attractions on working on a laptop as opposed to a desktop is the portability of the device. However once your laptop battery only has ten minutes of charge in it without mains power it no longer feels quite as flexible. Many people struggle on with poor laptop battery life, however there is no need to.

Replacement laptop batteries are affordable and are only a day away when dealing with Laptop Power UK. However our company’s main selling point is not price or quick lead times. Plain and simple, it is product quality. We only sell laptop batteries that are going to stand the test of time and provide our customers great value of the long term.

Here we provide some tips to customers on how to find the correct replacement battery for your laptop:

Tip 1: Buy your laptop battery from a domestic company. Whether you choose Laptop Power UK or not, make sure you buy from a UK based company. Buying from overseas often results in long shipping times and unexpected duty charges which can often add 50% to your purchase price.

Tip 2: Buy replacement batteries with Japanese cells. Unfortunately, as with most products, there are good quality products and inferior quality versions. Sadly there is more poor quality product on the market than good quality ones. Insist on your product having Sanyo, LG or Panasonic cells inside which guarantee good long term battery life.

Tip 3: Insist on a phone number and a company address. You would be surprised just how many online retailers of laptop batteries don’t have a phone number and an address on their website. Common sense suggests this is probably because they don’t want the hassle of you ringing them up when the product fails. Everything you want to know about Laptop Power UK can be found on our company’s website homepage.

Tip 4: Be suspicious of sellers only offering three months’ warranty on their laptop batteries. If you have spent good money on a replacement battery you would be disappointed for it to only last you 3 months. Laptop Power UK offer 12 months warranty on all our products because we believe anything less doesn’t represent value for our customers, and also because we have full confident in the quality of the products we retail.

If customers do their homework, buying a replacement battery can give their laptop a new lease of life and represent great value. It can also turn into a frustrating experience if attention isn’t paid to product quality or product location. Some healthy scepticism, and also by following the above tips, will reduce the chances of disappointment and increase the chances of getting great quality replacement laptop batteries.
