    Buying a replacement battery is not always about the cheapest.

    There's always a risk with 3rd party batteries. Very limited charge/discharge cycles, may not have the advertised capacity, etc.

    When it comes to batteries, I recommend to buy from the manufacturer although they are more expensive.

    Yes I know cheapest isn't always best, but I'm not paying over the odds to Dell just because it has a Dell logo on it. I'm not interested in price alone but am interested if anyone can point me in right direction - as good as a Dell but not the price of a Dell :)
