>The battery in my laptop PC seems to be no more. The laptop is an HP Pavilion dv6, four or five years old and generally unused unless I am out of town or my older daughter is here. Allie told me this weekend that the laptop immediately dies if not connected to AC. I confirmed that, then ran the HP self-diagnostics which reported the battery has failed.

HP batteries are so expensive. I'm sure they'll want you half of your laptops's currently worth. I advice you buy an 3rd party battery... I can find easly in Istanbul, I'm sure you're find more easy in a developed country like USA... ;)

I just looked up Google and found about 40$ with two years warranty at Turkey. I'm sure cheaper at USA...
