HP Pavilion dv7 3060us replacement battery

[mune87]

I purchased one of these from a friend for $100 a few weeks ago, but the catch was that it needs a new battery. I've got a few questions before I jump in and buy a battery:

1. Do I need to get one for this specific model, or will and dv7 battery do (there are a lot on Amazon)?

2. The more cells and mAh the better, correct? I assume this has to do with battery life and life span.

Good buy for $100 if there's not much wrong with it other than the battery.

I found this one on Amazon after a bit of searching: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00748GCGM/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&smid=A2OJY2YA9S9W09

It's cheap, but I'm not too concerned. If I need to get another a year down the road, that's fine.
