I’ve got a Dell G3 3579 that’s in a dire need of a battery and a bottom panel replacement. I’ve thought of buying them off aliexpress, but I’m a bit skeptical of it… So ig my question is whether it’s OK to buy stuff like replacement laptop batteries off aliexpress.
E: I’ve checked, amazon does not ship to my country… I’m also technically asking if anyone knows any trusted good replacement battery manufacturers that I should look for…
The thing is… the “OEM” Dell replacement batteries have a ridiculous price… they’re like 2 or 3 times more expensive than 3rd party ones for a refurbished one…
There’s a reason why they cost that much. If it costs 2x as much but lasts 5x as long then what’s the better value?
I’ve never gotten a chinese knockoff battery that comes even close to the same endurance as an OEM battery. Even used ones will last longer on a charge and hold their capacity longer than knockoffs. Plus you don’t run the risk of the batteries expanding and causing a fire.
The problem is… that even used OEM batteries are hard for me to get at least… nothing, except aliexpress ships to my country to whatever reason and I’ll be honest, I trust eBay even less than aliexpress when it comes to batteries. No, I genuinely wanna pay more for a genuine replacement battery, I’m just not willing to pay “importing it from the US” much for it
