[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1908404, member: 56379"] That's why I mentioned (if purchasing via a site like Amazon or similar site): * Only purchase from sellers that sell lots of batteries. * Only purchase specific batteries that have a customer rating (4 stars or greater & have a lot of positive customer reviews)...from a site like Amazon for example. I'm talking hundreds of positive reviews & 4 stars or greater rating (for the specific battery you're interested in). * Only purchase from sellers who allow you to return the battery if it doesn't perform well...or not fit properly. If you can get 500 cycles from a $30 battery...and/or 500 cycles from a $100+ battery...of course the $30 battery is the way to go.:) Plus it's always a bit painful to invest this sort of money ($100+)...every so often for a replacement battery in an almost 10 year old computer...when the value of the computer is getting less & less each year. Investing $30 "feels better" in an older computer.;) HTH, Nick [/QUOTE]
