Replacement DEC HiNote VP 735 - 30-49017-01 Battery

Recently I heard from a customer who was having trouble with his computer. Turns out his DEC HiNote VP 735 - 30-49017-01 was shutting off unexpectedly when only using battery power, and the solution was a new battery.

How do you know you need a new notebook battery?

1. Instead of lasting hours, you notice that your DEC battery only lasts a few minutes (or dies instantly).

2. The battery is not recognized as being in the laptop, or it refuses to charge what so ever: If you can’t operate away from an outlet, getting a new battery should be your top priority.

3. Your laptop is less then a year old but battery life has dropped quickly. If this is the case you will want to contact tech support for DEC. Keep in mind that most warrantees have a very little coverage of battery life (go figure), but you may still fall within the coverage . While on the phone, be sure to ask about the cost of replacing the battery(DON’T BUY YET).

If your DEC HiNote VP 735 - 30-49017-01 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 eBatts, I just can’t help it). eBatts has replacement DEC HiNote VP 735 - 30-49017-01 laptop batteries in stock (or they did when I checked last) and can ship one to you quickly. Priced at only $134.96 (regular price $209.99), they are a more affordable option than DEC, and is way more reliable than Craigslist.

Bottom line: When it is time for a new laptop battery, go buy one. For only $134.96 you can get a replacement DEC HiNote VP 735 - 30-49017-01 laptop battery at eBatts.

“”If you’re searching for a new DEC HiNote VP 725 - FR-PCPQJ-AA battery, I’d like to offer these words: DEC charges way 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 DEC HiNote VP 725 - FR-PCPQJ-AA for only $134.96 at eBatts. This same battery is normally $209.99, but recently the price has dropped. eBatts ships pretty fast (my order from them awhile ago and got my order in about a week).

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 burned when you shop online. Look for a merchant with the exact same battery you need (this is where photos and model number come in handy so you can be completely sure that the replacement for your DEC HiNote VP 725 - FR-PCPQJ-AA is right). Also check the total number of cells in the battery as well, since generally the more cells, the more mobility you can expect from your DEC notebook.

Last but not least, be sure to consider the shipping costs before buying as some shipping costs on laptop batteries can be huge and unreasonable.

DEC HiNote VP 745CT - 30-49017-01 batteries can be expensive, am I right? No way! If you really want to find the best bargain on a new battery for your DEC HiNote VP 745CT laptop, you should consider these options:

1. Buy from DEC
This can be a good option, if you have too much money and you feel like spending it. With most replacement parts, the manufacturers price on a new battery for your DEC HiNote VP 745CT - 30-49017-01 laptop will be much higher than options 2 or 3.

2. Get your battery from a wholesale outlet
Getting a replacement battery for a DEC HiNote VP 745CT from a wholesaler can be an intimidating task, you have to deal with price shopping, looking at shipping costs that can vary wildly, or the chance that the battery is not compatible with 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 replacement DEC HiNote VP 745CT battery, I recommend: eBatts. Overall, eBatts has way better pricing after you take into account the costs of shipping the replacement battery, and because their customer service department seemed more useful.

3. Get your battery on Craigslist
Getting a good price on a battery on Craigslist can be an appealing option, though it can be elusive. If you do plan on shop for a new DEC notebook battery using Craigslist, make sure you remember to ask the seller questions. Ask about dead batteries and what your options are if this happens. It is recommended that you buy the same type of battery - the one built specifically for your model of DEC notebook.

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).

Battery Trivia: The Baghdad Battery is believed to be the earliest recorded battery, at about 2000 years old. The object was found just outside of Baghdad and is composed of a clay jar with a stopper made of asphalt. Sticking through the asphalt is an iron rod surrounded by a copper cylinder.
