Extending the battery life of my Acer Aspire M5-481PT

[Glitchesarecool]

As the holidays come on us, I'm always tempted by new laptop deals and may actually change over eventually. However at the moment, my M5 is doing a pretty good job of meeting my needs. The only downside is that after all these years of use, it's starting to lack the battery oomph it used to have. I can get an hour or two at most of out it, even on Windows 10 (Battery saver seems to not have any effect).

 

I'd like to try and keep my laptop going, but I don't know the first thing about getting a new battery for this. From what I've read, it seems like I can replace it, but who is a good after market battery company to buy from? Or is this whole thing a little silly (or unfeasible), and I should just try to find a power cord with extra length to it?

 

Thanks for any help you can give!
