Best place online to buy batteries, cradle/charger?

[smaughan]

All,

I need to buy new batteries for my x51 and x51v. I don't want to add to the width really at all, but I would like to get the best battery for the money. I also need to get a new sync cradle but can't find an actual dell cradle. Are the others out there, (ebay, etc.) as good or not? I don't want to mess with junk. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Steve

Have purchased both batteries, cradles, styluses, etc from reputable Ebay vendors for many years.

That's a good point. I assumed he lives in the States. But, you know what happens when you assume.

These things grow on the trees in the ebay forest. You don't think you can find it at Best Buy, right?

Anyway, they're just a paypal payment away.

Don't bother with a knockoff. Get the real deal.

The place I recommended sells refurbished Dell cradles. I agree, knockoffs aren't the way to go.

I just purchased a 3600mAH battery for $24.50US incl shipping and a back cover from MegaCapacity.com .
The webpage talks about a New York location but everything is shipped from Hong Kong. Shipping is included in all pricing, so I don't think you get any multiple item shipping discount.
It took 1 week from ordering to my mailbox in Canada.
The only complaint I have is they give you a US postal tracking number which is useless for shipments from HK. I asked them to fix that if possible.

I'll be ordering another battery soon....

Hope this helps some.

All,

I found exactly what I was looking for. The refurb cradles should do the trick and I found batteries. By the way, I'm in the good ol' US of A!

Thanks,
