How Do I Find the Right Battery for My Laptop?
Quick answer

The safest match is the part number printed on the old battery label, or the exact laptop model number on the underside of the laptop. Batteries for different models of the same brand look alike but differ in connector, cell count and size. Check the listing says it fits your exact model, and ask whether the battery is original or compatible, and for how long it is guaranteed.
