Got a HP 15-bk152nr that needs a new battery (LE03XL). I can handle the install, but I can't remember the last time I bought a laptop battery.

Any specific websites or ebay vendors or reliable sellers on Amazon/Newegg that will actually deliver a battery of the stated capacity and form factor that probably won't catch on fire?

I've only bought a few batteries but I buy from ebay now. A lot of the sellers have tens of thousands of sales and like 99.7% positive feedback so they're somewhat reliable. If I buying off Amazon I'm afraid they're going to sell one that's been sitting in a warehouse for 3 years.

Well, went with https://www.ebay.com/str/batteryfornotebook as the highest-rated seller that advertised a battery for the exact model number with shipping from the US and it standard-shipped CA to LA in 6 days, was the correct part, and took a charge without catching on fire, so I'm going to call that a win. Thanks!
