    I got this one from these crowd in the US
    Took about 3 -4 weeks to get here but it's the cheapest i could find when shipping + conversion was taken into account.

    thanks pal,
    but there are cheaper batteries on the web, The problem is none of them are original. they are all refilled.

    TBH, the worst thing you can do is get the original battery, espcially if it contains Sony cells. Ones containing panasonic cells seem to fair a bit better.

    have a look here before you buy a battery:

    The 600 series are a VERY solid machine, I have one myself, but I stopped putting batteries in it after the 4th! You might want to consider replacing the machine as a cost effective option for a laptop with a decent battery.

    You could pick one easily enough on Ebay. A lot of the "origianals" are reflled BTW. If you dont use the CD bay too much, try an ultrabay battery. They seem to be more robust.

    APC (American Power Conversion) do a bunch of new batteries for a range of laptops. They do one for your 600X, expect to pay €194 plus shipping from a reseller. Why would you want a cheap second hand battery, you could get as bad as you have.

    Thanks SuperComputer for your reply. I will think about what you said.
