Anyone know a place to buy a Dell compatible laptop battery? Dell wants $150 for the dang thing.

its an Inspiron 1525 battery is a type RN873. Its my wife's and its gettin the infamous " battery plugged in but not charging" thing. I have updated the BIOS and checked the drivers for the battery management system as described in other places to fix this problem. Settled on thinking its the battery.
