New Acer Travelmate 290, 2350, 4050, other CL50 / CL51 series models - CL51 Notebook Battery

“”If you’re searching for a replacement Acer Travelmate 290, 2350, 4050, other CL50 / CL51 series models - CL51 battery, I’d like to offer a few words: Compal charges way too much for their batteries, and I think you can get a better bargain when you buy from a third party distributor. We looked for pricing and saw a brand new Acer Travelmate 290, 2350, 4050, other CL50 / CL51 series models - CL51 for only $161.26 at Batteries.com. The same battery is normally $174.44, but recently the price has dropped. Batteries.com ships pretty fast (I ordered from them awhile back and got my order in a few days). It also comes with a 2 Year Free Replacement warrantee!!

You can try is searching on Craigslist or Kijiji (links open in a new window). Craigslist can be hit and miss, and so can Kijiji so don’t get burned when you shop on the internet, look for a merchant with the exact same battery you need (this is where pictures and model number can be useful so you can be absolutely sure that the new battery for your Acer Travelmate 290, 2350, 4050, other CL50 / CL51 series models - CL51 is right). Check the number of cells in the battery as well, since generally the more cells, the more mobility you can expect from your Compal laptop.

Last but not least, consider the shipping cost before making your purchase because some shipping costs on laptop batteries can be massive.

OEM Compal laptop batteries are easy to find at LaptopBatteryDepot.

Saved alot of time using DriverCure to download the drivers for my Compal laptop.

Battery Tip: Don’t drain! Older batteries needed to be conditioned by draining them completely before recharging - new ones don’t, so keep your battery as charged up as possible so you can keep working wherever you go!

Replacement Compal TS30W - BAT30W Laptop Battery

New Compal TS30W - BAT30W notebook batteries can be expensive, right? Wrong! If you want to find the best bargain on a brand new battery for your Compal TS30W laptop, you should consider these options:

1. Buy from Compal
This can be a good option, if you can afford to pay their ridiculous prices. As with most replacement parts, the manufacturers price on a battery for your Compal TS30W - BAT30W notebook will be way higher than the cost of options 2 or 3.

2. Find your battery from a warehouse outlet
Getting a battery for a Compal TS30W from a wholesaler can seem like quite the task, you have to deal with price shopping at times, looking at the shipping costs that can vary widely, or the possibility that the battery does not match your particular model. This is where pictures and a big product database (plus a solid inventory) really help. If you are thinking of going the wholesale route for a new Compal TS30W battery, I recommend: eBatts. Overall, eBatts has way better pricing after you take into account the costs of shipping your new battery, and because their customer service department seemed more useful. It includes a 1 Year warrantee!! When you get down to it, the price for a Compal TS30W - BAT30W was $98.96, compared to $137.99 from Compal that’s a savings of 28%.

3. Get your battery on Craigslist
Getting a good price on a new battery on Craigslist can be an attractive option, though it can be elusive. If you do shop for a new Compal laptop battery using Craigslist, make sure you remember to ask the seller questions before buying. Ask about non-working batteries and your recourse if this happens. It is usually recommended that you buy the same type of battery - the one built specifically for your model of Compal laptop.

Finally, no matter which option you pick, get confirmation of return and exchange policies before you buy (who knows, you might have made a mistake while ordering, or the battery could be damaged during shipping).

Recently I took a call from a customer who was having some trouble with his laptop. Turns out his Compal / Midwest Micro / Ultra NiCd - TS38S was shutting off when on battery power, and the solution was a replacement battery.

How do you know you need a new laptop battery?

1. Instead of lasting hours, your Compal battery only lasts a few minutes.

2. The battery is not recognized as being connected, or refuses to charge what so ever: If you can’t operate away from an outlet, getting a replacement battery should be of the utmost priority.

3. Your laptop is less then a year old but battery life has dropped quickly. If this is the case you may want to contact tech support for Compal. Remember that most warrantees have very specific coverage for battery life , but you may still fall within the coverage range. While on the phone, be sure to ask about the cost of replacing the battery, but don’t buy it yet.

If your Compal / Midwest Micro / Ultra NiCd - TS38S battery has any of these symptoms, and you don’t want to get a new laptop yet, finding a replacement is easy (I’m always recommending Batteries.com, It’s sweet). Batteries.com has Compal / Midwest Micro / Ultra NiCd - TS38S laptop batteries in stock (or they did when I checked last) and can ship one to you quickly.

Compal CY27 - CY27 Notebook Battery

“”I recently heard from a user who was having some trouble with his notebook. Turns out his Compal CY27 - CY27 was shutting off when only using battery power, and the solution was (funny enough) a new battery.

How do you figure out you need a new notebook battery?

1. Instead of lasting hours, you notice that your Compal battery life is down to only a few minutes (or even seconds).

2. The battery is not identified as being in the laptop, or refuses to charge at all: If you cannot operate without your AC adapter, getting a replacement battery should be a high priority.

3. Your notepad isn’t even a year old but the battery life has dropped quickly. If this is the case you may want to contact the tech support group for Compal. Remember that most warrantees have a very limited coverage of battery life , but you may still fall within the coverage range. While on the phone, be sure to ask about the cost of replacing the battery, but don’t buy it yet.

If your Compal CY27 - CY27 battery has these symptoms, and you aren’t willing to buy a new laptop yet, finding a replacement is easy (I love recommending Batteries.com, I just can’t help it). Batteries.com has Compal CY27 - CY27 notepad batteries in stock (or they did when I checked last) and can ship one to you quickly.

New Midwest Micro / Ultra NiCd - TS34X/25C Battery

“”When your Compal NiCd laptop battery stops working reliably, it is time for a new battery. There are plenty of ways to get a new one, but buying from Compal can cost an arm and a leg, so buying from an external vendor makes more sense. When people ask me where to go for a Midwest Micro / Ultra NiCd - TS34X/25C Battery, there are two things I tell them: Batteries.com or Craigslist. Batteries.com has Compal TS34X/25C batteries for only $86.38 - much more affordable then buying directly from Compal considering they cut $14.54 off their price. When you search for Compal TS34X/25C batteries on Craigslist, make sure you are getting an OEM battery - this way you can be sure not to void your manufacturer warrantee. In general, you can expect to pay a bit less on Craigslist for a laptop battery, but be sure that the new battery will be compatible with your model, and you can never be sure of the quality of the battery.

When it comes right down to it, getting a laptop battery shouldn’t be a huge hassle, and it shouldn’t cost a fortune. Unfortunately Compal had decided to be greedy (like noone saw that coming). You can shop with confidence at Batteries.com - they have most of their items in their warehouse, and ship quickly (about a week has been my experience).

Buy your battery at Batteries.com, it includes a 2 Year Free Replacement warrantee. Or try to find a deal on Craigslist (the prices can be even lower, but watch out for high shipping charges, and scams).

Battery Tip: When you shop at eBatts, they guarantee your battery will perform better then the original, making this claim might seem outrageous, but it makes sense since there is newer technology in the cells.
