help, Rebuilding a better battery for no-name netbook.

Hey Ben,

 

I have a no-name netbook that I got a few years ago and the battery life only has 1 hour left. I'm trying to find a replacement battery for it but I can't seem to find it. I have no part number to go by. It would be awesome if you or anyone here could help me rebuild the battery by replacing the cells inside. Maybe you could even make it better!

 

I appreciate any help I can get!

 

Ray

    that's going to suck, all the 4000mah batteries I see are too wide to fit into the battery case. but the 500-ish mah ones fit very well, but that's too low. any ideas how I can get this to work? thanks

    hey, do you guys think I can hook up two 2000mah batteries in parallel and use it as a 4000mah cell? so I'll have 2x(2x2000mah) cells?

     

    also, what's the difference between these 2 batteries? why is the lower mAh one more expensive? which one would work better for me?

    I might just make a battery without the plastic case and wrap it in thick tape.
