I wanted a replacement battery so looked on eBay. Found a lot of different capacities but decided to keep to the original size to avoid fitting problems.

Found what appeared to be suitable from Hong Kong (Echobey was the supplier), 12 months warranty included. When I received the battery the locating lugs put the battery in upside down and the contacts at the wrong end of the battery. Trying to fit it in the other way the contacts still did not make contact. This battery was advertised as fitting X50 and X51V. After many emails I arranged to have the battery replaced but after sending it back I heard nothing more from the supplier. Luckily I had lodged a claim with Paypal and will now get a refund.
Beware of the batteries from Echobey Hong Kong, they don't fit X51V and the replacement service is non existant.
