    Its tough to find a 3rd party battery since Sager isnt as big of a brand the companies that make those batteries typically wont bother. Its best to get an OEM battery. You can contact your reseller or Sager directly for a replacment.

    I will refrain from getting a third party battery. First of all, they don't last that long. Second of all, sometimes you don't know where they came from or where they are exactly manufactured. Even OEM batteries have heat/fire issues and resulted in recalls. You are taking a bigger risk when going to third party products.

    Yessir. It's not worth the cost difference - if you could find one for a Sager as it is, for said reason Hutsady mentioned. I would say contact Sager or a reseller that supplies the battery. They're all going to be pretty comparable as far as pricing goes.

    3rd party ones have a much greater variability due to being manufactured usually to much looser quality constraints, I would not take a gamble with my main system with one.
