How should I go about replacing my Acer Aspire 5742G-6426 laptop battery? Don't know where to start.

My laptop battery is on its way out after almost four years of use. My battery has a small red 'x' symbol on the bottom of the icon in the taskbar, and hovering over it suggests "consider replacing your battery". Further text explains, "There is a problem with your battery, so your computer might shut down suddenly."

I have been looking for a replacement on many websites like BatteriesPlus, Amazon, eBay, and I just cannot find anything that appears reliable or decently priced. Any of you have experience with having to shop for a replacement battery?

By the way, I of course checked Acer's site, and they don't sell batteries. My laptop is a Acer Aspire 5742G-6426. It's frustrating not being able to just get a direct, reliable battery replacement from Acer.

Thank you for any help you can throw my way.

I figured this was too easy. I went to order the battery on the Acer store and it won't take my home address nor my post office address.

Edit: I missed the button that would take my address as written. I went through with that, got it ordered, and now commence crossing of fingers so it doesn't get lost in the mail.
