I got a ThinkPad T430 laptop in on trade in. Great condition except for the battery.

Any recommendations for battery replacement? Or "whatever is available on ebay" the go-to solution?

I often look for OEM batteries, but the T430 is getting to be a bit aged, so OEM batteries may not last very long either.
