I have come into possession of an HP ZE4300 laptop that needs a new battery. A new battery is about $100 incl. shipping from what it looks like from various sites. however these sites have shady names like "BATTERIES4U.COM" and stuff like that. Does anyone know of anywhere reliable?

The battery is listed as an "hp f4809A/f4812a" lithium-ion battery module.

For example, what about this store:

or you could try ebay and get one for ~$38.00 after shipping ... this guy has over 28,000 feedback and 98.8% positive ... i'd say that's less than shady:

Yeah but this is what bothers me about that auction:
