   When I searched the web for a battery for my Toshiba, I used the part number and got a lot of options. Of course I was looking for a good price but then I realized many places offered batteries “for Toshiba” (generic) and not Toshiba batteries. By now I`m sure everyone knows the dangers people report on generics. So I tried to look for the word “original” and only a few places mentioned then yet the image clearly contradicted this statement. Although the price at amazon wasn`t the cheapest I decided it was a safer option considering my previous good experiences with amazon and the fact that it is such a well known webpage. I found several options (I think it also had generics) but they were clearly shown. For an instant, before cliking on the buy option, I doubted the product would actually be original because the price was so good (less than some obvious generics) but I decided that if it turned out to be a generic amazon would have probably gotten the best possible one. … Turns out it was original and at a cheaper price than some generics!!! It’s running as expected (My Toshiba isn’t exactly a hit on battery life) but I’m happy I bought it at Amazon.com. It’s trustworthy.

   Perhaps there is one observation that I would like to make on the price options (though I’m not sure how or why it works that way). When I first looked in the comparison mode, the option I decided to go with had a real low price (extra low) but since I doubted it could actualy be original with that price, I looked around a little more and when I returned to the page to go ahead with my initial option the price had changed!!! it was still cheaper that others but not as cheap as my first look. ??? I tried retuning to the page the same way I had done the first time and on my third return it was even more expensive! …. what the!…so I decided to click quicly before it went even higher!… it still turned out to be cheaper, just not as cheap….Amazon? can you tell me what happened?…anyway, Buying at amazon is always easier and they have great deals.

   No problem so far… But I didn’t check the battery life… I normally used to have my laptop connected to power outlet… so didn’t get a chance to check battery’s performance… I will update it later…

   It is the exact same battery that is presently in my computer and the cost was even better than I expected.

   By reading various review , I decided that I will go with Toshiba battary instead of cheap replacement battary .

   So I purchased it from Amazon last Oct .
   
   It was working okay (although the total battary hours were just 1 hr ) .
   
   since I always connected to Power outlet , I was little comfertable with it .

   But last week , suddenly battary started getting charged . Eventhough , I kept it connected to power for 24hrs without doing any activity , my laptop was always showong that it got charged 0%.

   When I contacted toshiba customer care support , it was pathetic .
   
   Everybody was transferring my call to the other person . I had to talk to 7 different people before I could get the actual person .

   Anyway I had submitted my claim and I am hopeful that they will approve it .
