Thank you for the URLs

Cost at $51.99 but is for the more storage version of 4400mAH [not
original 3600mAH]
*plus free standard shipping, so cost is comparable.

Easy website to navigate, easy website to order from

Their return policy is austere, but makes sense if they;re running on
low margins.

will let you know of exeperience

Regards,

Be aware that there is an unproven suspicion that the 4400mAH
batteries may be the source of "blink of death" failures. The fear is
that they take too much current out of the charging circuitry and blow
a chip, fuse, or resistor, which seem to be found with this fault.

What is other people's experience with these enhanced storage
batteries? I bought one, but I'm afraid to use it.

I bought one with about twice the capacity of the original battery (14.8 V
@ 5200 mAh vs 14.8 V @ 2700 mAh) for an old laptop i am "sprucing up".
Works fine for me. YMMV.
