Laptop Battery Replacement — Genuine vs Compatible, Cost & Warranty

Most Li-ion laptop batteries lose ~20% capacity every year of daily charging. If your laptop dies within 30–60 minutes off charge, or Windows shows a red-X 'Plugged in, not charging' warning, it's battery replacement time.

What does a new laptop battery cost?

Compatible A-grade batteries: ₹1,999–₹3,499 fitted for Dell/HP/Lenovo/Acer/Asus. Genuine OEM: usually 1.6–2× the compatible price and worth it for a daily-driver laptop under 3 years old.

MacBook batteries are model-specific and glued in place — expect ₹5,500–₹12,000 depending on the model. We use only iFixit-grade cells with fresh adhesive strips.

Compatible vs genuine — the honest answer

Compatible packs from tier-1 vendors (with Samsung / LG / Panasonic 18650 cells inside) give 90–95% of OEM backup and carry our 6-month warranty. Cheap bazaar packs use recycled cells and fail within 3–4 months — we never fit them.
