Need a new Laptop battery - OEM or "fake" replacement?

[Paddy_g46]

I need a new dell inspiron battery, 9 cell, and baically dell want near £100 for a new 1! Other websites are offerign genuine batteries for £65 all in and "fake" 1's for about £45

On ebay I can get a fake 9cell for £26 delivered from china/hong kong (whihc incidently is where the oringal batteries are made!)! So what do poeple think about these?

Any bought 1 of these copy batteries before?

Oh also they come with a 24 month warrenty!

OEM.

Every time. I don't know about laptops specifically but my 'high quality' fake Canon Ixus battery is s**t, lasts a fraction of the time of the OEM one.

Plus your laptop will moan.
