Well, when my friend's laptop's battery died, he ordered a "replacement" battery from ebay and it was pretty good. Obviously since its made by some Chinese company, it wont be as great as the official one but he had no other choice since the official ones were discontinued! It just wont last as long as the official ones but its better than nothing

chinese company ussually make better stuff anyways

I find that the cheap knock off replacement parts never quite fit as snug as the original parts.

Why not check me out on youtube and help me on the way to 2k subs over at www.youtube.com/stormcloudlive
