One of the problems with used laptops is that batteries degrade over time. If it has been heavily used, you might only get an hour or two out of it.
You can buy replacement batteries for many laptops that would solve this problem, but they are often $100 or more. Still, it may be worthwhile for you.
Try $20-$30. I do this for a living.
Which bit? Refurb used hardware to sell? Purchase used hardware for business use? Genuinely curious.
You were right, I am seeing batteries between about $25 and $60 (Canadian) on Amazon. I'm pretty sure that the last time I looked for one, which was, granted, about 10 years ago, the one I needed was significantly more expensive.
That's really good to know.
