    i suggest OEM.. i've used 2 but really 1 lasted 15 months while the second has 10% wear in 5 months but most likely due to how hot my laptop ususally is...

    Get the Ebay battery. I have been happy with my Ebay batteries and power adapters.

    I've used both OEM and non-OEM batteries in several of my laptops, including the Dell XPS M1330. They performed identically, but the non-OEM's were a lot cheaper.

    Honestly, I would go with non-OEM. The Dell XPS M1330 is getting old, so I figure it isn't worth sinking too much more money into that laptop.
