Laptop batteries You might try battery-city.com I picked up the link while researching digital cameras (rechargable AA NiMH). They also have Laptop batteries. They have a listing for HP 5000..maybe it is the same. You have to fill out a form to get the price. I have no experience with this retailer. Zeuspaul

Rechargeable batteries Here is the whole usenet post FWIW. The links have a NiMH digital camera slant. Some of the retailers probably have laptop batteries too. Begin Quoted material _________________________________________ Subject: FAQ: NiMH Batteries for Digital Cameras Date: Mon, 23 Aug 1999 11:59:57 GMT From: JNavas@aimnet.com (John Navas) Organization: The Navas Group, Dublin, CA, USA Newsgroups: rec.photo.digital Many digital cameras, especially those with LCD display panels, go through batteries at a terrifying rate. Alkaline batteries perform poorly in this application. With any use the voltage starts to fall, and quickly drops below the level needed to operate many digital cameras. In some applications you may get less than 10 photographs per set of new batteries. Perhaps the best solution is to use rechargeable nickel metal hydride (NiMH) batteries, which have a number of advantages over nickel cadmium: * Greater capacity * Less environmental damage * Greatly reduced "memory effect" * Longer life in typical use Sources for rechargeable nickel metal hydride (NiMH) batteries include: thomas-distributing.com (low price/faster charger) bills2way.com (low price/NEXcell) battery-city.com mrnicd-ehyostco.com (Sanyo) batterystore.com (Sanyo) batteryshack.com (Sanyo) alix.com (Gold Peak, Sanyo) central-camera.com (Quest) normancamera.com (Quest) mrbattery.com (Quest) computerhouse.com (Quest) d-store.com (Quest) ssdonline.com yessolar.com ckcpower.com (NEXcell) batterystation.com (NEXcell) cameraworld.com (Quest) onsale.com (Kodak, Quest) insight.com (Quest) cdw.com (Kodak, Quest) pcconnection.com (Quest, Kodak) qvc.com (Quest, Varta) gpbatteries.com (manf, up to 1500 mAh) nexcell-battery.com (manf, up to 1300 mAh) energizer.com (manf, 1200 mAh) newshopper.com (Kodak) kodak.com (Shop@Kodak) realcat.com Price listings: shopper.com (Kodak) shopper.com (Kodak) For those traveling or otherwise not in the USA, universal 120/240 Volt chargers are available from: <http://www.batteryshack.com/chargers.html> NOTE: There was an early manufacturing problem, since corrected, in the labeling of Eveready Energizer NiMH batteries. These batteries are a bit too large in diameter, which can make it difficult or impossible to use them in a snug battery container. These improperly labeled products were recalled, but some did get into the hands of consumers, most likely through Best Buy. Consumers that have improperly labeled products can obtain replacements by calling the Energizer consumer hotline number (1-800-383-7323), or by sending email to the Customer Support address on the Energizer Website <http://www.energizer.com/companyinfo/>. <<end>>
