Yes, there are lots of suppliers of laptop bateries on eBay. Some are even in the
UK! I'd love to believe that all their wares were new, full spec. manufacturer's
quality product and actually had the mA*Hr capacity they claim. And that they would
last for as many recharge cycles as the "proper" ones at twice the price.

But, having bought compatible batteries for cameras and phones from these sorts (not
the specific ones mentioned here) of suppliers, which went flat in a fraction (a small
fraction) of the time that the one which came with the device lasted, AND held less and
less charge, for less and less time in the ensuing months. I can't help but think
there are too many crooks, fakes and bogus claims out there.
