Hi Cyndy, the battery you reference is a replacement generic battery, and its not the Original Toshiba brand - hence the price difference. Both will work for your laptop just fine

I tried 3 larger batteries of different types, but only this one from Amazon worked with my Toshiba. Mine works very good with about twice the battery life compared to the original battery, but the computer does not sit flat anymore though. I ususally don't power off my laptop, just close it when Im done. The power charge lasts about a month or so, but I use the laptop infrequently.Did you:1. Make sure the battery is inserted fully and correctly?2. Charge overnight.3. Are your power cords working okay?4. Are your electric outlets okay?5. If you disconnect the power cord, does your computer stay on by battery power alone?Good luck with the batteries.

Its from Toshiba. The battery looks just like it shows in the picture, including the Toshiba name on the top left corner.

I saw a 12 cell at Toshiba Direct for $150. I wonder why they don't have a 9 cell...You can always upgrade your battery and it's an easy task. Just unplug & turn off laptop, then switch them out. With a lot of the higher cell batteries, however, they stick out from the bottom of the laptop. The good thing is that they are in the back part so all it does is give you more slant.

I bought two of this battery about one year ago. I am convinced that the batteries I received are true Canon batteries. The two that I ordered came from "Kellards" and that reseller's price is substantially higher than the posted price from this reseller.

For my Toshiba replacement, I bought off of Amazon and I am not sure the manufacturer. It worked great. It was easy to install and I followed a YouTube video on the subject for all my questions. You should do fine. Best wishes and Merry Christmas

My battery did not charge properly from the beginning, but failed to contact company before warranty expired, which was my error. They sent a link for a replacement battery but the cost with shipping is over half the price of the unit. Since the unit did not charge ever charge properly, I am hesitant to throw good money after bad, with the "hope" that the battery is the only problem. The other brand I purchased at the time worked beautifully from the start and is still going strong. If anyone has a link for a replacement battery with reasonable shipping charges, I would be interested. Otherwise, will toss this and buy another brand that works from the start and continues working. Thank you.

I don't think so. They just told me to return for a full refund. It said it was new but it did not charge or anything so I do not think it is a good battery. I am just going to bite the bullet and buy one from Toshiba itself.

I did as well, and it did the same exact thing. Mine only lasted for a couple of months. I asked a tech at Best Buy and he said the best place to get a battery is through the manufacturer, which is so expensive we are better off buying a new laptop.

If it looks like the tabs that lock it in place match and the battery matches in size , i ordered one to replace the original battery on my toshiba satellite a105-s4094 and its been great i get an average of about 3 hours out of it and i only paid 14.99 on amazon. I would make sure that what they send matches the voltage of your current battery, from the research ive done a mismatch could cause problems, from what i learned i dont think the mah has to match cuz it refers to the rate of powerdrain. Also i would say that for under 70$ any that you look at wont be a toshiba brand battery but like i said mine has been just as good as the factory hattery that came with the laptop. I read the description for this one and it did say it was rated for 10.8 v if they send you 11.1 v just return it and tell them the voltage you want. The first seller i went with sent me 11.1 v and i wasnt going to risk damaging my laptop but return process was easy and they refunded me completely plus postage and the 10.8v one arrived quickly.

Honestly. I would not buy anything for your laptop from amazon. I purchased to of them and both never worked or recharged my battery. Amazon refused to even take them back fro an exchange or refund. do not buy it from amazon. Spend the extra cash and go to a place like best buy or staples or if you can afford even a few more dollars, from the toshiba website itself. Amazon was horrible.

Hi Kasie, I myself was unsure exactly which battery would fit my Toshiba Satellite, I actually called Toshiba Tech support and asked them.The issue with mine was that I was unable to find the original battery even on their site. Mine was an 85 W even though the part number was the same. Quickly they gave me the correct battery name and number. I suggest you give them a call before ordering. I am very happy with mine. It is great! Sorry I have not been much help.

Hi Matthew. I see where you are going with this. I don't see an actual date on the battery itself. This info may be part of a serial number or another code. I am finding that the replacement battery is not holding a full charge the way I think it should. My opinion is that replacing the battery is simply a temporary solution. Every once in a while I get a message that the battery has less than 5-minutes backup left. This is not right! When I am faced with having to replace it again, I would very likely buy the whole assembly new. Hope this helps.

Sorry it took so long to respond, your message got into my spam folder! Yes it is an excellent battery, every bit as good as the original unit that came with my laptop. Highly recommend..

Unfortunately you can never know for sure, because different sellers sell the batteries under the Toshiba part number, and some of them are real and some are not. I got one of these from Laptop Parts (laptopsparts) and it was the genuine Toshiba battery. But this is a different seller and a different ad, so I can't say for sure. It sounds like the real thing, though. The seller is actually Toshiba so if they say it's the real thing it better be.

I remain confused why every time I click the link for this product a different price and seller is featured. They range from $3.01 to $28 (for new) and how are we supposed to know which is going to give us the quality battery and not? My order says the 2 batteries I ordered came from PacificCellularDistributor ($9.30) and neither one would charge past 83%. The vendor us not happy with my negative review saying their batteries are OEM and the fault must lie with Amazon and pulling the wrong stock for them because they supposedly supply only OEM batteries. I'm not the only one with a comment their battery from them did the same, so my review will not be edited. Like I said in my review, I can believe these are OEM however I doubt they are new. One has to wonder what happens to all those batteries when people upgrade their phones. I don't know, but I suspect they are sold in bulk to resellers who then sell them as "genuine OEM" batteries. The old saying "you get what you pay for" may indeed be the case here. I decided if I'm going to save some money vs a new one from the carrier phone store then I'll just take my chances on a vendor making "compatible" batteries, at least then I'm likely to get a new one. Good luck with all of you - I can't figure out the "fulfillment" process here when several vendors supply what is claimed to be the same thing and with extreme price ranges.
