I do not recommend you purchase anything from laptopbatteryexpress.com. My wife purchased me a Sony Vaio laptop battery for Christmas and it died three months later. I contacted the company and they said I'd need to pay them $16 to ship out a new battery, even though they sold me a piece of garbage. Spend a few dollars more and buy a quality battery from a quality company. Also, your computer doesn't need a battery to run, just remove it and plug it in. I will not waste my money with laptopbatteryexpress.com.
