    Hi, I just buy on ebay a FK890 battery (9cell) for my vostro1700.
    I receipt it, and I have now a doubt, about if it´s really original or could be a "fake" (copy) (the seller has one negative vote about a "original" battery from other brand, declared "fake")

    My battery is detected how DELL TM9878 how name, and 18SMP DELL TM9878 on unique ID.

    non original batteries are detected how this, or they have another ID?

    thanks
