While you can rarely go wrong with an OEM battery, it is often the most expensive option, and for older laptops, OEM batteries may not even be available any longer. Compatible replacement batteries are manufactured by a third party, but are designed to meet or exceed the specifications of the original to ensure battery compatibility and performance, and they are often much less expensive.

Often when more cells are added the physical size of the battery will be altered possibly making it larger and may cause it to protrude from the notebook unlike the original battery.
