Replacement Leading Edge NiCd - DNE206FX Notebook Battery

Recently I got an email from a client who was having some trouble with his laptop. Turns out his Leading Edge NiCd - DNE206FX was shutting off unexpectedly when only using battery power. The solution was a new battery.

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

1. Instead of lasting hours, your Leading Edge battery life is down to only a few minutes.

2. The battery is not identified as being connected, or refuses to charge at all: 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 become limited. In this case you may want to try to contact technical support for Leading Edge. Remember that most warrantees have very specific coverage for battery life (go figures), but you may still fall within the coverage range. While talking to Technical Support, ask about the cost of replacing the battery(DON’T BUY YET).

If your Leading Edge NiCd - DNE206FX battery has any of these symptoms, and you aren’t willing to get a new laptop yet, finding a replacement is easy (I’m always recommending Batteries.com, I just can’t help it). Batteries.com has replacement Leading Edge NiCd - DNE206FX laptop batteries in stock (or they did when I checked last) and can ship one to you quickly. Priced at only $126.70 (regular price $148.10), they are a more affordable option than Leading Edge, and is more reliable than Craigslist.

Bottom line: When it is time for a new laptop battery, go get one. For only $126.70 you can get a replacement Leading Edge NiCd - DNE206FX laptop battery at Batteries.com.

We post deals on Leading Edge notebook batteries, for the Leading Edge and other models too!.

Leading Edge NiCd - DNE208SX Laptop Battery

If you’re looking for a replacement Leading Edge NiCd - DNE208SX battery, I’d like to offer a few words: Leading Edge charges far too much for their batteries, and I think you can get a better bargain when you buy from a wholesale vendor. We looked at pricing and saw a brand new Leading Edge NiCd - DNE208SX for only $126.70 at Batteries.com. This same battery is normally $148.10, but recently the price has dropped. Batteries.com ships really fast (I ordered from them awhile ago and got my order in just a few days). It even includes a 2 Year Free Replacement warrantee!!

Something else you can try is looking on Craigslist or Kijiji (links open in a new window). Craigslist can be hit and miss, and so can Kijiji so don’t get ripped off when you shop on the internet, look for a merchant with EXACTLY the battery you need (pictures and model number come in handy so you can be absolutely sure that the new battery for your Leading Edge NiCd - DNE208SX is right). Also check the number of cells in the battery, since the more cells, the longer the battery life you can anticipate from your Leading Edge notebook.

Lastly, consider the shipping cost before making your purchase as some shipping costs on laptop batteries can be massive.

Discover a range of OEM batteries for Leading Edge notebooks. Why settle for a weak charge, get a new battery and work anywhere!

Replacement Leading Edge 386SL+ NiCd - DC8612 Battery

When your Leading Edge NiCd battery stops performing well, it might be about time for a new battery. There are lots of ways to get a replacement, but buying one from Leading Edge can cost you a fortune, so using a third party vendor makes more sense (unless you love spending money). When people ask me where to go for a Leading Edge 386SL+ NiCd - DC8612 New Laptop Battery, there are two things I tell them: Batteries.com or Craigslist. Batteries.com has Leading Edge DC8612 batteries for only $88.69 - much more affordable then buying directly from Leading Edge considering they cut $14.43 off their price.

In general, you can expect to pay a bit less on Craigslist for a replacement battery, but be sure that the replacement battery will work with your notebook, and you can never be sure of the quality of the replacement battery.

All in all, getting a notebook battery shouldn’t be a big ordeal, and it shouldn’t cost a fortune. Unfortunately Leading Edge 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 look for a deal on Craigslist (prices can be lower, but watch out for high shipping charges, and phishing scams).

Battery Tip: Disable WiFi and Bluetooth. Many laptops have a button or switch that you can use to quickly turn your wireless internet on and off, if you are not connected to a hotspot, disabling WiFi can give you some battery savings, and the same is true for the Bluetooth module - it draws power even when it is not being used.

Leading Edge NiCd - LEP9123SX/16 Laptop Battery

Replacement Leading Edge NiCd - LEP9123SX/16 laptop batteries are expensive, am I right? Wrong! If you really want to find the best bargain on a replacement battery for your Leading Edge LEP9123SX/16 laptop, you need to consider these options:

1. Buy from Leading Edge
This might be a good option, if you have too much money and you feel like spending it. As with most replacement parts, the manufacturers price on a replacement battery for your Leading Edge NiCd - LEP9123SX/16 notebook will be way higher than options 2 or 3.

2. Buy your battery from a wholesale outlet
Getting a replacement battery for a Leading Edge LEP9123SX/16 from a wholesaler can seem like a daunting task, you have to deal with price shopping, looking at the shipping costs that can vary widely, or the chance that the battery does not match your particular model. This is where pictures and a big product database really help. If you are thinking of going the warehouse route for a new Leading Edge LEP9123SX/16 battery, I recommend: Batteries.com. Overall, Batteries.com has better pricing after you take into account the costs of shipping your new battery, and because their customer service department seemed more helpful.

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

Finally, with whatever 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).
