So my laptop battery is only getting about 1 1/2 hour on a full charge when I have WiFi enabled but using NHC clocking it at 600Mhz. So I am guessing, this battery is losing its charge. However, it isn't as usable as I'd like as sometimes classes are back to back and I won't be able to charge my laptop then.

So I went to the Fujitsu (Canada) store ( http://store.shopfujitsu.com/ca/EcomCA/accstore.jsp) and it looks like my battery isn't listed anymore. It seems to list only the modular bay battery. So I am wondering, are those batteries listed on ebay decent? They state to be 3rd party generic batteries but are made to be on manufacturers spec.

Would it be safe to use?

I always prefer to use a battery made by the manufacturer. Perhaps if you contacted Fujitsu, they could point you in the right direction.

Did you try googling the part # for the fujitsu battery, you may find a site that has oem batteries.
