X21 and battery on Ebay

[Aivarss]

I have question about batteries on Ebay for my X21. Anybody has experience with batteries from Ebay sellers. I suppose , is there any problems? Bad capacity, short life or so.

welcome to the forum:-)

I've bought 2 eBay batteries: one used for the x20, works fine, as
advertised. Also a new one for the 600, also works fine. Both
sellers >99% feedback.

ah, Riga: during two visits by yacht, to Andrejosta Yacht Club, we
became quite entranced with your fascinating city. Riding around in the
carriage behind horse Russinch; 700th anniversary fireworks display.
Great place.

Thanks for a nice words. And about advice. I watch this forum from may when I bought my X21. Wasn't any reason to post reply before, but I found a lot of interesting things here.

I and several other users of this forum have had good experiences with batteryrefill.com. You can send your old IBM battery to them and they will refill it at a cost comparable to eBay batteries.

Im still wondering how good is the non-oem batteries, are they reliable compare to oem ones?

You can't really say "are batteries from eBay good," because it's much like asking if used cars are OK- It all depends where they get them from. I have only purchased one aftermarket battery from eBay (600E), and it worked well for the 4 months I had it.
