I see Laptop Battery Express after market replacement batteries for Macbook Pro on Newegg sporting a 2 year warranty.

Any opinions on these?

Looking for a trustworthy replacement for Anker as they're going out of stock on everything and look to be going out of business. (I thought they were trustworthy anyway. But they've stopped so...)
 
OK, I tried Laptop Battery Express out since they're still there and still sporting a 2 year warranty. (ie They weren't a warehouse in CA that would disappear in 6 months.)
Drumroll please...

Counterfeit bs!

Light weight and defective out of the box. The same counterfeit bs you find on Ebay for $19.95 except they're charging going rates for REAL batteries!
They didn't put up any fuss when I demanded a return at least.

Avoid avoid avoid!

So far I've been having good luck (ie good products) from MacbookBatteries.com. ifixit also seems to have the real goods but they hike up the price due to their popularity. I'd say they earned their reputation though.

So many fake battery suppliers out there these days...
