Replacement battery

[MrFunex]

After almost 5 yrs, the battery in my laptop only seems to last half as long as it once did, so I'm after a replacement.

Genuine Acer batteries are so expensive, I may as well buy a new laptop!

eBay seem to have compatible replacements for £15.

Would this be a waste of money? I know there have been a lot of stories in the media recently regarding cheap Li-ion batteries exploding etc. Genuine Acer batteries seem to be 56Wh, and the compatible ones are 90Wh.

Any experiences?

I've not really had a 'strategy' per se, although I try to be careful not to leave it plugged in too much, I must have just got lucky!

I'll have a look at Amazon's offerings. Thanks for the advice
