Thanks. I simply could not find it

It would actually cost me 139 euros (free shipping) but Im thinking of getting this:

Anyone have any expirences getting/using batteries from eBay? The eBay battery (excluding shipping) would cost me 45.92 euros

 

Noone at all?

 

Generally, I wouldn't buy batteries from eBay. Too many of them are non-OEM, and too many of the ones that claim to be OEM are probably imitations anyway. You have absolutely no way to get an RMA on those, at all, if there is a problem.

 

139 Euros >= 200 USD

 

I bought what was claimed to be a genuine Dell battery from a UK based ebay (UK) trader. It has all the look and feel of a genuine Dell battery. I would consider that the traders with many transactions and good feedback only deal in the genuine hardware. I would be a little worried about importing larger items from China / Hong Kong, partly because they may be factory seconds and partly because one can get charged taxes and admin fees on arrival into Europe.

I've also bought a couple of genuine Dell PSUs off ebay (again UK traders). These are, IMO better than the genuine Dell UK versions because they use the 2 pin mains power connector which has a thinner and lighter mains cable - better for travelling.
