Best buys for new mobile battery? Manufacturer or other?

Old_Gold

I want a new battery for my nokia 6300. The battery life inbetween charges is pretty poor but the battery has lasted for a fair time. So now it is time to put my hands in my pocket for a new one.
I have looked on ebay and seen there are so many selling different types. So should I stay with a nokia battery or will one of the others be just as good? Some I believe have more capacity.
I trust you good people so lets have your experiences and tips please.:money::D

Personally I'd go genuine. If there's only a few quid in it it's not worth a fake that may ruin your phone. If the difference is significant and your phone isn't worth a huge amount, go for the non genuine.

i wouldnt say the ones from china are fake, you can guarantee they have came out of the same factories as the branded ones. ive had a cheap £2 chinese battery in my viewty for a year without any problems. carphonewarehouse wanted £8 for an LG one

It's a judgement call only you can make. I've bought a genuine Nokia E71 battery before from Expansys, but then again I've also bought a Nintendo DS high capacity battery from Deal Extreme, direct from China.
Both are absolutely fine. There's also Amazon that seems quite competitive for the battery you're after, the BL-4C, for both genuine and generic.
