Default new 396 battery needed. Ebay ok?

So my battery in my 396 finally gave up the ghost and I need a new battery. spruce, or any other garmin supplier, sells them for $~45. or I can pick up a no name battery from ebay for about $~20. does anyone have any experiance with this purchase on ebay, do they work as advertised or should I just go with Garmin? If you got one from ebay that worked well, do you know the specific seller you got it from?

Default Battery

I'd go with a supplier who has fresh stock in place due to high volume sales. That would be Spruce in my opinion.

Default 396 battery

I bought this one from Battery Gallery last oct.for my 396 and no problems so far.
For $15.95 you can't beat it.
