Comment on Owners of laptops with very cheap aftermarket batteries, is it worth the discount?

I bought a no name brand battery for my laptop once off of ebay. Had zero problems with it. The battery life was like 1 year instead of 2 or something but otherwise it performed the same. Just make sure you pick a reputable seller or something with a lot of positive ratings.

Generally every aftermarket battery iv bought has been like this. Shorter stated lifespan, but perfectly functional and frequently lasts just as long as OEM.
Just go with a private company that specializes in the manufacture of the laptop in question and spend a bit more.
Rare to get a crap battery unless your trying to save every cent possible.
