I have a MacBook Air from 2017 and its original battery has started draining very fast. The Apple original battery will cost me around 17,000 INR so I am thinking of going for a third-party battery. Is that a wise decision?

    Original batteries are expensive due to the quality and certifications needed to make it. To buy a no-name battery you are literally rolling the dice in terms of safety and there is no guarantee of how long it will last. Will you save any money if you buy a cheap battery for half the price but have to replace it again in 6 months? I’m more of the mentality fix it once, fix it right, or just don’t bother.
