    My L45-S7423 needs a battery replacement BADLY (previous owner kept it plugged in 24/7)

    I can get a generic 5200mah battery off ebay
    or an original toshi 4400mah battery for about the same price also off ebay
    the original in this top was 4000mah

    which way you think I should go?

    I had two faulty third party battery`s in a row, I am very wary of them now.

    I Would buy the Toshiba 4400mah, and forget about the third party 5200mah

    I agree with Tinder.

    I would go with the Toshiba battery; should last longer and have less problems.

    Get the original. Not much of a difference anyway.

    Both sellers have very good feedback, but both have one bad feedback for fake battery`s , choice is yours.
