HP SPECTREX360 BATTERY REPLACEMENT

[nyxvas]

Recently I noticed that my HP SPECTREX360 CONVERTIBLE laptop battery swelled up to the point that it needed to be removed in order for the case, keyboard and mouse not to be damaged.

When I took this to my local HP authorised dealer in Malta, Europe where I live, who are also the HP representative for the island I received this unacceptable reply: 'Unfortunately, the Battery is restricted and cannot be ordered.'

This was after they had removed the battery from my laptop, rendering it useless as a laptop and must always be plugged into the power adapter to function. 

This is the only solution I am being given at this time and wanted to look for alternatives for a genuine HP battery replacement part. Was wondering if anyone could help me out please since I seem to be left with no solution.

In a world where parts can be easily shipped across the continent I find this hard to digest.
