Does this mean the battery is too?

Pacific Battery has "Dell" Brand battery for ~$160. (TD347)
The "Compatible" equivalent is ~$100. (TD347-AM) I assume it
designates

Any major difference between the two? (aside from the obvious $60
difference)

Yes, I plan on steering clear of the eBay "deals".

First contact Dell either through chat, email or phone to see if
battery
is covered or not.

If it is not covered, you can find them even cheaper on Ebay.

I
As I recall, the battery warranty is one year, regardless of the system
warranty, but that could have changed.

Personally, I'd never buy a battery on eBay.

My purchases have been the Dell OEM through Pacific Battery and have
been flawless.
I also would never buy a battery on eBay. I'd either buy directly
from Dell or from Pacific Battery, the latter because many people here
have had good experiences from that company.
Pacific Battery doesn't allow orders to Canada though and even though I
only bought 3 batteries (2 Laptop and 1 Ipod), I had no problems with
buying off ebay.


Well after agreeing with Tom, all I can say is good luck.
I never had a problem buying off ebay. Guess I am one of the lucky ones.

Add another successful battery from ebay. Got a digital camera
battery for my mom's camera. Works good.

alternatively, you may consider getting a universal power bank in the
market. That way, the power bank need not go with your laptop when you
buy new laptop... check out http://poweronthego.blogspot.com
