    Hi,

    It is time to replace the battery for my 5 years old Compaq Presario X1010US (which actually I gave to my brother...), anyway, in HP website it cost 155$ and on TerraBattery.com it costs 80$ and they claim it is ORIGINAL, I want to buy only original.
    http://www.terrabattery.com/a-compaq+presario+x1010us+original+battery.html

    Does anyone know that store? does it make sense it is half price??

    Thanks!

    It makes sense. The price set by HP is always higher as that is the manufacturer who made it or produced it.

    I got mine off eBay for way less than they were selling on the HP site, has been working like a charm for over a year now.

    Looks legit to me...
