trying to buy original asus batteries from a third party source is your best bet. Most third party made batteries wont last very long and are prone to melting, since they use sub-par materials.

Most people don't realise batteries are extremely dangerous and if you are using it on your lap and it explodes, not only will you get burns, but the highly corrosive contents will melt through you skin and organs. :)

Edit: try to buy your battery from inside the US, as they will all have to be fully certified and tested.
