Your mileage may vary
Your mileage may vary, but in my case all went smoothly. My order was sent on June 18, parcel was delivered on June30 (London). Battery with complementary added two screwdrivers (T5, PH2.0) guitar picks and spudger was well packaged. On site the battery advertised as "Brand new original 8-cell laptop battery". Can happily report that received battery indeed the original product. I can tell by little things like screws that stayed in place after unscrew them (preventions from falling down and shorting motherboard) and working as expected "curentless mode" when you can turn off battery completely, so when you replacing the battery it will not supply power right away (again preventing any shorts) but after you connect device to the mains adapter of the laptop. After installation the battery reported 70% charge , zero charging cycle count, and full 60488 mWh capacity. So I am happy customer, thank you.
