That $30 laptop battery I grabbed off Craigslist actually worked for 6 months
I picked up a used Dell battery from a guy near the mall for just $30 because my old one died at 10% every time. Figured it would crap out in a week but it's been holding a charge like new since January. Only catch is the plastic clip broke off on install so I had to tape it in place. Cost me like $5 for electrical tape but barely noticeable if your laptop sits on a desk. Anyone else find cheap batteries that somehow last longer than the expensive ones?

Quietly patting myself on the back for buying a $15 battery off eBay for an old Toshiba that everyone said was a fire hazard. Three years later still chugging along, though the plastic casing is held together with a grocery store twist tie. Guess my luck with cheap batteries is better than my luck with cheap lottery tickets.
