    Is this a legit Dell OEM 9 cell M1210 battery?

    It looks right, but there is no way to be certain... If you're worried about it not necessarily being Dell, contact Dell. I'm sure they can help you find a new battery for your 1210.

    You can't tell by looks. They just copypastaed the stock photo.

    Well are there any legit ones on ebay? 220 is... a lot. 50-100 I can handle but at 220+tax and shipping I'd rather just ebay the 1210 and buy a 1330/1530.

    Look for "Dell OEM" in the description. Otherwise it is an after market battery.

    Anyone else? Are third party batteries necessarily bad? I really need a battery :X
