    Do you have any issue with it? The genuine battery costs an arm and a leg. Are all generics the same or some are better than the others? Which vendor would you recommend buying from? Thanks!

    Here's one for $74 if you don't mind it's a bit scratched, but is supposedly new. My own experience with third party batteries is they're not as well built. Plus they don't last as long and wear more quickly.
