    I have a vaio fz 290, which as you know, has horrible battery life. So I want to get an extended battery but don't want to pay an arm and a leg for the sonystyle one. None of the websites I looked at had one advertised for less than $200, plus I don't know how reliable they are. Anyone know of a good 3rd party battery seller for my fz that's not too expensive?
    Thanks.

    i think you're better off going with a sony battery since lots of people have problems with 3rd party ones

    I tried both batteries plus and hi capacity and couldn't find one for the fz model specifically.
    I'll just live with my poor battery life for now and save up to get the large capacity battery later.
    Thanks anyway.
