OT: Laptop batery needed

[greg.rocco at gmail.com (Greg Pallett)]

Well, after a few years (3ish?) of use, the battery on my laptop is pretty
much fried.  When it thinks it's charged it will run for about 20 min,
relegating me to anywhere near an outlet. - not a big deal, but it's the
principle of the thing.
The laptop is a Compaq Presario M2000
The ID on the battery is HSTNN-1B17
Can anyone reccomend a good (inexpensive) place to get a replacement?  A
quick internet search showed $65 batteries from H-P and el cheapo ones on
Ebay.
TIA.
