Best place to purchase Laptop batteries?

[AtaruMoroboshi18]

Just wondering where the best place to purchase batteries for laptop. I currently have an Inspiron 7720 laptop, purchased from Cowboom.com, but it didn't come with the battery. I love the laptop, but not having the battery kind of limits its capabilities. So, where would I get an Inspiron 7720 battery?

I always recommend going through the OEM http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/...s&l=en&s=dhs&cs=19&sku=312-1311&mfgpid=226054 but $109 ???
BUT in this case Virtual Larry's suggestion may save you $$, I see then as low at $30...

Yeah, I've been trying to avoid Ebay for a long time. Can't really bring myself to use their service anymore. Is it okay to purchase third party batteries?

3rd party batteries can be OK - but the best are OEM. If you live in a major US city, you can always nip down to Batteries Plus and buy a 3rd party. Then, if it doesn't work, you can return it or swap it right there.
