I recently purchased a GRiD1660 laptop, which is about four years
old.  I need a new battery for it, and am hitting brick walls
trying to find one.

Does anyone know who manufactured this unit, or who might have a
battery for purchase?

I'm trying this forum because some of the disks that came with
the computer originally have a Tandy copyright stamp on them.
Hopefully, I can find some success.  I'm striking out everywhere
I've turned.

Thank you for your assistance.

Jim

Corporate Upgrades do upgrades on laptops. I don't know if they
have a source for batteries, but it might be worth a phone call
to ask. 1-800-240-6190 or 1-916-536-3710. E-mail (very slow) is

Grid was purchased by Tandy in the 80's.  Grid originally did a
bunch of govt. work.

Search on the web.  There are a few places advertising batteries
for older and discontinued laptops.  Sorry, I have no phone
numbers.
