any good replacement batteries?

Feb 9, 2009 2:59AM PST

I had to replace the battery on my inspiron e 1405.I went with a non-OEM battery from ebay. First it looked good (more than 2 hours), now after 5 months it's down to 20 minutes, moderate use. Can anybody recommend a decent replacement battery?

So how much for the 5 month battery?

I usually get 18 months before the battery degrades that far so maybe you get what you pay for?
