Chosen Solution
My laptop dies quickly. The overall run time have reduced tremendously. After a full charge, it dies in less than 15 minutes. I want to replace the battery on my own but I don’t know what type of battery this laptop uses. I don’t want to buy the wrong battery and then have to deal with return shipping and time is of the essence….. I need help!!!!
What is important when replacing laptop batteries is the “freshness” of the cells within the plastic casing. The nc8430 is a 2006 model, so there are no reliable “new” reliable OEM batteries. I would suggest to buy one on eBay, but buy from a seller than ha s sold at least a couple of hundreds of these to ensure that the replacement cells are fresh and not been sitting on some shelf for a decade.
