Hi,
What battery would be better for an old laptop?
(Samsung NP-QX411-W01US | Mid 2011)

An original Samsung?
Or
A different trademark for that model?

I mean,
the cells on the original one probably will be as old as the computer itself?
Another trademark would have newer cells?

Sure,
depending on the trademark, would be newer but lower quality.


Thank you

i've used those 3rd party batteries before and not had any issues. i don't think it lasted as long as name brand when it was new but compared to how the old battery drained real fast it was a big improvement.

if you can get a new samsung battery and it is not real expensive i'd go with that. but if not, then the 3rd party new one would be better than a used samsung branded one.
