I need a replacement battery for my Asus X75VC laptop – OEM are around £110 !
Which battery should I buy ?
http://www.battdepot.com/uk/model/notebook+battery/asus/x75vc-ty144h.aspx?s=aps @ £28.99
or
http://www.battdepot.com/uk/model/notebook+battery/asus/x75vc-ty143h/las238.aspx @ £15.49
As far as I can make out – the only difference is the warranty – 2 years as opposed to 1 year.

They claim that the more expensive one uses better quality cells - but is there any real difference ?

    Any reason why you picked a random website with no phone numbers and no business address?

    Good luck finding those when the battery burns your house down.

    Had a look at the website ..


    At those prices, their batteries are almost certainly fake and will contain 1 cell and a lot of sawdust.


    And as mentioned above, no phone number or address on the website ..


    c'mon - you should know better !!
