For me this battery was the best value for money (26.90) for my Packard Bell 17 ". I took the same reference as the original one ie AS10D61. Well received, very well packaged and protected in a plastic bag, in a cardboard box with foam to fit the shapes of the battery. Therefore no risk of shock! Charged at 61% or 43 minutes of battery life, I hope it will last over time and will be effective, that's all I ask ... Once charged to 100%, there are about 1:35 of battery life, it is not so grand as that, but it helps out ...
