    Hi I need to buy a new battery for my Acer Aspire 8930 laptop. Could you recommend a good place to buy it please. I need a battery that will last long (9 cell) and want to buy it from a reputable seller.

    Acer sell very reputable batteries at 2x the cost of the ebay/amazon ones. but you will have all the comfort and safety that is available.

    For non original batteries few shops are specifying or making their own batteries so a reputable seller can unwittingly have good and bad batteries side by side on their shelves. I advise looking at the returns/refund process, location, carriage costs etc very carefully as a guide to how confident the shop is in their product.
    If the battery supplied is charging/discharging properly and reporting sensible things for full capacity/ current capacity/voltage etc in tools like SIW and is fully recognised by the laptop it is looking ok. If however the maker cannot get even that right return the battery on principle because it is unlikely they spent much care sourcing the cells or circuitry either.

    There are dodgy/poor suppliers out there but in fairness to balance that view the vast majority of exploding battery incidents I've read about seem to involve ORIGINAL batteries rather than replacements . . .
