Looking for a reputable Website to buy Laptop Battery.

    I'm looking for a reputable, and reasonably priced, website to purchase a new battery for my Netbook. Could anyone recommend any? As tempting as it is to buy a cheap one on eBay or Dealextreme, I've heard some horror stories about the quality of them. I'd rather spend extra on one that will last me a while. I've looked on Amazon but it is only a Third Party retailer selling them for my model Netbook.

    I was under the impression that most of the UK Sellers on eBay/Amazon get them from the same source from the dodgy Chinese ones. The Amazon seller has alot of good feedback so might chance it, plus comes with a Year Warranty.

    to say the truth, many products on ebay,amazon are from China,the costs are low ,many ebay sellers are drop shipping from china, the only thing they need is promote themselves...

    See that's what I was cautious of, if they were infact just Dropshippers from the likes of FocalPrice or Dealextreme. So it's very hard to tell the quality of the product, and what's legit or not.

    After reading this article on Mobile Phones and Batteries in China, I'm very cautious as to what I buy:
