    I was just wondering, I just got a smart bay battery I ordered from Alienware ( ashamed for giving them more money) and it came wrapped around some bubbles with no box or anything. Im sure if I ordered a battery from SONY they would send it in a nice box for it. For all I know this battery can be used or refurbished, how do I know it isnt? Im just saying it would be nice if came in a nice box ahhh ohhh bidda bing bada boom u knowwww wataaa mean

    Mine came in wrapped in the bubble wrap bag, all stuffed inside a small cardboard box with a bunch of those packaging peanuts.

    In any case, you can check the wear of the battery by using a diagnostic tool like Everest to see if it was used or refurbished.

    Mine came in one of those black large boxes :D with all that satellite tracking bla bla bla sello tape. Anyone know how that actually works? There was nothing else inside, just the keyboard.
