I just want to tell everyone who is looking to get original batteries at a good price can get them at http://www.brandbatteries.com I placed the order with these guys and was a bit sceptical thinking that they will send me low quality aftermarket battery, because the cost was so low and once I got it from www.brandbatteries.com it was OEM battery at a great price.
