    Get it off fleabay.. Sometimes they even improve on the OEM design. I'm picking up a 7500mAh battery for my dv9700 while stock is in the 4400-4800 range. Great for those long flights.

    +1 eBay. Do your research though. If you're buying non-oem, don't buy crap.

    What should people look for?
    Do you have some quality sellers that you can provide?

    Anything local? Found a few websites in Canada. With the dollar in the crapper and duty, rather buy local if possible.

    Look at the model numbers and the mAh rating. I've saved a bundle buying aftermarket batteries for cameras and phones.. Here's a couple of examples...
    OEM Nokia Battery $90+tax - Aftermarket (same rating) off fleabay $30 shipped
    OEM Sony Battery $150+tax - Aftermarket (1.5 times the mAh rating) TWO for $33 shipped

    I've used Batterycanada.com before. Great prices on batteries that roll out of the same factory, without the 'manufacturer' label. (Nobody makes their own batteries anyway, so no diff).
