Here’s a secret many laptop manufacturers don’t want you to know: most laptop batteries are made by just one or two companies. They may ask to have special chips inserted to go with their brand and slap their own label on it, but they all come from the same place.

 

That’s why bargain shoppers look for replacement batteries on the secondary market. They can get the same battery with a different label for a fraction of the price. It doesn’t affect quality or durability, it only affects their wallets. If you want to save more than a few bucks, you can do the same.
