New Altima/Sharp/Twinhead NiCd - 420 Battery

For those of you looking for a new Altima/Sharp/Twinhead NiCd - 420 battery, I can offer these words: Altima charges far too much for their batteries, and it shouldn’t come as a surprise that you can get a better bargain when you buy from a third party vendor. We looked at pricing and stumbled across a brand new Altima/Sharp/Twinhead NiCd - 420 for only $77.99 at Batteries.com. The same battery is normally $164.55 That’s a savings of 53 percent off the regular price. Batteries.com ships pretty fast (I ordered from them awhile back and got my order in about a week). It also includes a 2 Year Free Replacement warrantee!!

You can try is searching on Craigslist or Kijiji (links open in a new window). Craigslist can be a bit of a gamble, and so can Kijiji so don’t get ripped off when you shop online, 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 Altima/Sharp/Twinhead NiCd - 420 is the right one). Also check the number of cells in the battery, since the more cells, the longer the battery life you can expect from your Altima notebook.

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

“”When your Altima battery stops performing well, it might be time for a replacement.

Batteries.com has Altima 486SLC/33 batteries for only $77.99 - much more affordable then buying directly from Altima.

When it comes down to it, getting a new laptop battery shouldn’t be a big hassle, and it shouldn’t cost an arm and a leg. Unfortunately Altima had decided to be greedy . You can shop confidently at Batteries.com - they have most of their items in their warehouse, and ship quickly (about a week has been my experience).

“”Altima/Sharp/Twinhead NiCd - 425SX laptop batteries are expensive, right? Wrong! If you want to find a great bargain on a brand new battery for your Altima 425SX laptop, you should consider these three options:

1. Buy from Altima
This might be a good option, if you have too much money and you feel like spending all of it. As with most replacement parts, the manufacturers price on a replacement battery for your Altima/Sharp/Twinhead NiCd - 425SX notebook will be way higher than options 2 or 3.

This is where pictures and a big product database really help. If you are thinking of going the third party route for a replacement Altima 425SX battery, I recommend: Batteries.com.

New Altima/Sharp/Twinhead NiCd - 486SLC/25 Battery

Recently I took a call from a customer who was having trouble with his laptop. Turns out his Altima/Sharp/Twinhead NiCd - 486SLC/25 was shutting off when on battery power. The solution was (easily enough) a new battery.

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

1. Instead of lasting hours, you notice that your Altima battery lasts only a few minutes.

2. The battery is not identified as being in the laptop, or refuses to charge what so ever: If you can’t operate without your AC adapter, getting a replacement battery should be a high priority.

3. Your laptop is less then a year old but the battery life has become limited. If this is the case you may want to try to contact the technical support group for Altima. Remember that most warrantees have very specific coverage of battery life , but you may still fall within the coverage . While talking to Technical Support, ask about the cost of replacing the battery, but don’t buy it yet.

If your Altima/Sharp/Twinhead NiCd - 486SLC/25 battery has any of these symptoms, and you aren’t willing to buy a new laptop yet, finding a replacement is easy (I’m always recommending Batteries.com, It’s spectacular). Batteries.com has Altima/Sharp/Twinhead NiCd - 486SLC/25 laptop batteries in stock (or they did when I checked last) and can ship one to you quickly. Priced at only $77.99 (regular price $164.55), they are a more affordable option than Altima, and is way more reliable than Craigslist.

The bottom line: When it is time for a new notebook battery, go get one. For only $77.99 you can get a replacement Altima/Sharp/Twinhead NiCd - 486SLC/25 laptop battery at Batteries.com.
