Need a US proxy for a battery for an HP Portable Plus Message #1 Posted by Geir Isene on 31 Oct 2011, 4:15 p.m. I need to buy one of these: HP Portable Plus Battery ... but they only ship in the US. Anybody wants to act as a proxy?

Joury on 31 Oct 2011, 4:22 p.m., in response to message #1 by Geir Isene Hi Geir, If I am not mistaken these are D cell sized Lead Acid cells such as these. I built my own pack out of three of the above for considerably less. Are these or something like them available where you are? Cheers, -Marwan

I ordered at "www.accu-ecke.de", model number: MP2, 8-6P Multipower Batterit 6V/2,8Ah (C20).

Re: Need a US proxy for a battery for an HP Portable Plus Message #4 Posted by M. Joury on 31 Oct 2011, 6:22 p.m., in response to message #3 by Ángel Martin I don't think so. The battery used in the 9114 looks completely different. Unless, of course, the image on the web page is not correct. Here is a link to the 9114 battery: battery. Cheers, -Marwan

Re: Need a US proxy for a battery for an HP Portable Plus Message #5 Posted by robert rozee on 31 Oct 2011, 7:00 p.m., in response to message #1 by Geir Isene the page you point to lists the capacity as 2.5 amp-hours. that is pathetically low compared to modern cells. you'd be better off using five AA sized Ni-Mh cells (close to 3 amp-hours), then charge them externally. in the same space you could fit 10 AA cells wired parallel/series to get over twice the original capacity (and hence twice the run time).

Re: Need a US proxy for a battery for an HP Portable Plus Message #6 Posted by John Pierce on 31 Oct 2011, 7:56 p.m., in response to message #1 by Geir Isene I'll act as your proxy. This can be taken care several ways; I can buy the assembled battery locally or receive one that you order and have shipped to me and remail it to you. Regards John Pierce
