You bought these in February,that's a bit longer than you are stating here.Yes i looked before the seller name was removed.

You were lucky it just stopped working, it could have fried your laptop. Batteries, power supply leads and many other items are amongst the things I would never buy from anywhere except a business who was an authorised reseller of the manufacturer's products.  I certainly wouldn't purchase a battery that may very well be coming from overseas as I would be unable to return it using AP.

There's no special problem buying batteries off eBay. I've done it with great success and very cheap to boot, particularly for Apple products.

Either way, the op has had their revenge. Hats off, tens of people will never buy from that seller.

Then you have been fortunate, personally I wouldn't take the risk with an expensive item like a laptop.

<sigh> I really wish you'd stick to offering advice on things you actually know about PJ. Low voltage components like batteries are simply not capable of frying laptops or anything else for that matter. At worst, a dodgy one will either refuse to hold a charge or die prematurely. Your frequently inaccurate scaremongering does nobody any favours, least of all yourself.
