Solved! Battery for an ASUS G550J

[Chodam]

So I need a little help.

I am planning on buying a new battery for my girlfriends laptop which is an ASUS G550J. Looking on line I have found a few but they all look completely different from each other. That model is not one where you can easily replace the battery without taking it all apart so I can not see exactly what it looks like, plus I want it to be a surprise for her for a Christmas gift.

I was wondering if you knew a place that sells battery for that make/model because I would rather not spend $80+ just to find out that it doesn't fit when I take it apart to replace it for her. I have been building computers for the last 20+ years but sadly I know very little about laptop batteries. Any help would be really appreciated in making sure that I buy the correct one.

Thanks so much!

This looks to be the right model https/www.adapter-chargers.com/G550J_5764.html

I don't see any official ASUS parts for that model though, so need to be careful. If you see the battery cells made in China, that is likely not a good model to get. Assembled in China is fine, but I have not seen any cells from China be any good.
