Laptop battery pattern or original?

[mikk]

I need a new battery for an Acer laptop, anybody used the pattern units, just wondered how they compare performance wise to the OEM battery?

I've allways got my Acer battery's from Amazon , their cheaper than most places I've looked and I've never had any problems.

A lot of the cheaper 3rd party batteries as such usually are fine at the beginning but start to degrade very quickly so by a year you lose around 40% of the battery capacity.

They all die around a year or so , battery tech sucks when it comes to Laptop batterys. It's a way of making more money from you. So save your money and just buy the cheapest one that fits. Make sure it's new as a used one has a shorter life span.

I find the best deals on Amazon also. Good service too.
