Best Laptop AC Adapter/Battery Replacements? (Dell)

Hi guys,

I need to replace an AC adapter for a Dell Studio 1555. I've never bought aftermarket before, do you have any suggestions? I see ones listed in NCIX, Canada Computers, and so forth, but they're mostly unknown brands. Then there's the myriad 'x'battery'x'.ca sites that come up when I search google, but it's hard to tell if they're reliable.

I also might as well pick up a battery. Can you bank on a performance differences between amperages? Like if 4400 gets you 3.5 hours average, is 7200 going to get you 6? And can there be heat issues with the higher power batteries?

I'm grateful for your recommendations.

Thanks!

I say avoid ones where the tips are plastic. I've had Kingston and some other brands and the tips end up breaking when they are plastic over-time.

Laptop adapter? Not sure what that is... you talking about the A/C power adapter? More clear.
