I bought a replacement battery that was not OEM off eBay. After about 4-6 months of use, the thing nearly blew up on me. The battery got so hot it could’ve started a fire. Seriously, spend the extra money, its not worth the risk.

If you’re buying a replacement make sure it meets the safety standards and it is approved for use. I’m going to be buying only OEM batteries/chargers from now on.

    This should say “Don’t buy shitty non OEM chargers”. There are plenty of reliable non OEM brands that sell perfectly reliable chargers. Anker for example.

      Which reminds me that I need to look into what all options there are. I’d like to get a backup to the oem that came with mine, but I’ve never looked to see what all is out there.

      Same with batteries tbh, though I got a bigger oem one at the same time I bought the t480.
