The battery in my notebook died & I need to replace it. The current/original battery is "EL04XL" and says "Replace with HP Spare 681949-001". I checked the HP site for that part, but it says it's been "discontinued by the manufacturer". I did a search for other options and get tons of 3rd party battery sites selling "new" parts, but I'm not sure which, if any, are reliable sources for safe batteries that aren't going to explode or fry my notebook. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
