Why are there many different part numbers for my device?

The Original Equipment Manufacturers will make Batteries, AC Adapters and other Accessories with part numbers that change for a variety of reasons. They may issue different part numbers to indicate date of manufacture, the country or the factory where the part was made, or even just to indicate that particular production run. So, there could be laptop batteries or laptop ac adapters with 10-12 different part numbers that are identical in every other way and that are all compatible with you notebook.

Keeping extremely accurate and up-to-date cross references of this data is often a tricky task that most resellers (and some OEMs) have trouble doing. But not PowerCenter.com. This seems to be their area of expertise. When they offer a product that is for a specific model and series, or as a replacement for a specific part number, you can buy with confidence knowing that the item will work in your device and that it will equal or exceed the performance and specifications of the part it replaces.

Why are Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) Laptop Batteries more costly than the Equivalent Parts in the After Market?

OEMs are focused on the next new product. They would prefer that you buy the next new laptop rather than extend the life of the product that you currently own. By making accessories, such as your laptop battery and laptop ac adapter, expensive, you are encouraged to upgrade the device rather than buy the replacement parts. Since they focus on the development of the next new item, the maintenance of replacement part inventories and the smaller production runs associated with manufacture of replacement parts is an added expense and a distraction from their core business.
