HEY! im headed off to japan this friday and my laptop charger and battery are broken...so...I was looking at this battery for my Toshiba L25-S119
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140083383004&sspagename=ADME:B:AAQ:US:1

however, though they have a high customer satisfaction rating, the customer service seems terrible. I dont know anything about the amps or wats or volts or anything and I need to find a charger to match this battery...hell I assume its suppose to match my battery and not my laptop right? so anyway, anybody know which charger I should get! preferably fromt he same company!
Also, any thoughts, battery seem good to you? only thing thats really upsetting is when it says cells it says "japanese" but it should say...ummm...I dont know...8....and they wont respond so..... help me out please! only a few days left!

HUM word on the street is..from my dad anyway..that the charger is for teh computer, not the battery, as it passes through the motherboard first...

Look at your old charger, it will give you the information you need, which is:

Output Voltage (usually 19V)
Output Amps (or power in Watts) make sure your new charger matches or exceeds this.
Polarity (which part of the plug is positive, which is negative)

That's pretty much all you need to know, just make sure the plug that goes into your computer is the same, though!

Well not so urgent anymore, now I just hope it comes in tommorow on schedule! thanks alot though to the fellows that responded. Hopefully your rigth etimago! because it has 1.3A more and 25W more than my old charger:) hopefully this new battery will have more than six minutes life that I now have! and more than the 1:15 hours that current one had to begin with!
