Okay so I have a laptop that started out an E-machine model, when Gateway bought E-machine they slapped a Gateway cover on it and gave it a Gateway model number MX7515 the battery is toast on it, lasts about 30-45 minutes tops... so I want to get a new one... only problem is when you look on Gateway's site for batteries for it, it doesn't show them... I've seen on sites where this laptop is still listed with an E-machine number, but I don't know if it's the right one... Anybody know of any reputable place to get a replacement battery??

I used these guys (http://www.laptopbattery.net/) in Anaheim before to get an aftermarket replacement battery for an IBM laptop. Granted that WAS about 4 years ago. Advantage was that I lived 10 mins from their offices, and did a "will call" pickup.

So, they are a legit business, not just a fly by night internet only operation.

The MX7515 doesn't show on their list, but it can't hurt to give them a call.
