Missing external battery - Yay or Nay? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

There's a listing on eBay for a T580. Everythings seems fine just that the seller states that the external battery is not included but the internal battery is still intact. Even if I buy a battery separately, is this a good idea?

A new generic battery will work better than an old, worn out genuine one. Just keep in mind that most of the 72WH generic batteries are actually around 60WH.
