		<description><![CDATA[If you have looked into the price of replacement laptop batteries, you might find that they are expensive.  We discuss alternatives for you and have a step-by-step on how you can refresh your own notebook battery.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the biggest complaints I have with laptops is the cost of replacement batteries.  For most of us with older laptops who want to use them when they are not plugged into the wall, we usually don’t get much time.  It is a fact of life that as laptop batteries age, their maximum life decreases as well.</p>
<p>If you have looked for replacement batteries, you know that they aren’t cheap.  This can especially be a problem if you laptop is really old – the harder the batteries are to find, the more expensive they are.</p>
<p>But there are alternatives.  If you watch the following video, you can watch to see how you can replace your old cells inside of your notebook battery with new ones.</p>
<p><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/BtqRvAu71Gw&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/BtqRvAu71Gw&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></p>
<p>If you are looking for the replacement cells mentioned in the video, you can find them at any local battery specialist store, or online on places like eBay.</p>
