bet method to buy batteries?

[dznutz]

ok i purchased an extended laptop battery for my hp dv6. the battery was said to be compatible with dv6. popped it in. although the size and dimensions fit the terminal was on the opposite side.

now i'm stuck with paying the return shipping. question is what's the best method to buy cheap compatible batteries? i've found some matches using compatible part number hstnn-q1c but as you can see the battery has a bunch of these numbers

Laptop Battery Express is what the shop I work for uses. They're pretty reliable with their batteries.

Speedyink asked for recommendations a while ago and here's what I told him:

My boss uses Laptop Battery Express. They've been around for a while and are quite reputable. We've ordered many batteries from them and all have worked without an issue. They're based in Ohio, but they do ship internationally.

If you have some doubts, PC World did a test with two of their batteries.
