I bought a replacement battery that was not OEM off eBay. After about 4-6 months of use, the thing nearly blew up on me. The battery got so hot it could’ve started a fire. Seriously, spend the extra money, its not worth the risk.
If you’re buying a replacement make sure it meets the safety standards and it is approved for use. I’m going to be buying only OEM batteries/chargers from now on.
I’m saying when there’s an opportunity to cheap out and raise margins, before disappearing into the night, a lot of “brands” will. When their Amazon reviews start reflecting that they’re shit, they’ll just discontinue that brand, and resurface with another.
