It is BatteryEngine.com's goal to have the largest selection of batteries and portable accessories anywhere. If you can't find a product, let us know. Tell us the device manufacturer and model number, and any part numbers on the accessory itself. We'll make every effort to locate it for you.

Virtually all of the products listed on our web site are in stock and ready to ship to you.

Finding the product you're looking for couldn't be easier. We provide you with two convenient methods to quickly locate the right battery, adapter or battery charger for your portable device: Search and Browse.

Search
Our search engine lets you search by any combination of product names and part numbers. Simply type in the manufacturer name, model of your device or part number from your existing power product. Our powerful search engine will give you a list of all of the matches from our extensive product database.

Here are some examples:

• Searching by Manufacturer Name: Type "IBM" to show all notebooks and other devices made by IBM. You can then select a specific device from the list (for example, Thinkpad 560) to show all peripherals (batteries, AC adapters, etc) for that device.
   
  You can also type any part of the name to get the same result.
• Searching by Model Name: Type "Thinkpad 560" to see all peripherals available for the Thinkpad 560. You can also type any part of the model name, such as "560" or "Think" for a broader search. Entering "560" will find the IBM Thinkpad 560 and any other device that has 560 as part of its model number. Entering "Think" will find all Thinkpad models and any other device that has "Think" as part of its model name.
• Searching by the Part Number: Entering IBM battery part number "60G0423" will display that specific IBM battery. You can search using any part numbers you have available: AC adapter part numbers, battery part numbers, even the computer or device part number. You can also enter any portion of the part number to do a broader search.

Once you've located the item you're looking for click on the "Add" button to add the product to your order or click on the "Details" link to get more extensive product information and an image of the product.

If you want to change the quantity of an item you've already added to your order, type the new quantity into the quantity field and then click on "Update" to update your totals.

When you're ready to complete your order, click on the "Check Out" button in Your Cart.

Our mission is to provide you with a brand new battery for your device. In rare instances, however, new batteries are simply not available. In most of these cases, we can rebuild your existing battery (providing it is no longer functional). These batteries will be designated as "rebuilds" in our catalog (and are denoted using an "RB-xxxx" part number). In order for us to rebuild your battery, you must send it in to us. We carefully open the plastic casing of your old battery and install a new cell-pack inside. The plastic casing is then re-sealed. In effect, you then have a new battery inside the old plastic casing. A rebuilt battery is guaranteed to meet or exceed the original manufacturer specifications and comes with a one year warranty. The turn-around time for rebuilds is generally one to two weeks. If you wish to have a battery rebuilt, send it to:

• batteryengine.com
  Attn: Rebuild Dept.
  1380 Flynn Road
  Camarillo, CA 93012

Please be advised that Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) cannot be rebuilt. Please check the chemistry of your battery to confirm that it is either Nickel Cadmium (NiCad) or Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) prior to sending it in. The battery chemistry is generally noted on the battery label.

Make sure you include your name, daytime phone number and e-mail address along with the battery. We will contact you upon receipt of the battery in order to arrange billing.

To check the price of a specific battery rebuild, use our search engine to locate your device, or search by the battery's part number. A rebuild part number will appear along with a corresponding price.
