Laptop Battery

[ExpatinIstanbul]

I need a new battery for my Dell laptop. Dell obviously recommend buying an OEM from them, but at more than twice the price of others I’ve found on the web I was wondering if buying original is necessary. Has anyone bought non OEM for their laptop?

I've bought quite a few OEM batteries over the years...

I have found that they don't last quite as long (1.5 years not 2 or so)... but they work great!
