    First, does anyone know what the stock 6-cell battery is made of? Are they 18650 cells?

    Second, I want a bigger battery, trying to decide between the 9-cell batter that's the same size as the stock one and also the oversized battery with 140 Wh. (9 cell has 80Wh and 6-cell 53 Wh)

    Where do I get these batteries? I looked on Ebay but it's hard to tell what's legit and what's a fake.

    Thanks .
    Does it fit flush in the battery bay, just like the stock 6 cell?

    If the dimensions on the eBay auction are accurate then it should be the same size as the 6 cell.

    Is it an OEM product or aftermarket?

    It says non-OEM in the auction.

    I want to stay with OEM, if I can.

    The cells inside are probably better, or should get more cycles out of them.
