hey fedi, I'm looking to replace the battery for my laptop , as it has degraded and is only at ~35% capacity.
my laptop is a Tuxedo Aura 15 gen 1, which afaik is a Clevo NL51RU rebrand

where should I look for batteries? is there any difference in reliability between manufacturers, or can I get the battery from just about anyone? I am fine with paying more for higher reliability (especially since they don't seem to be too expensive)

I've also seen a larger capacity battery, would it be fine to go with one of those?
and if yes, where would the best place be to go to find those0 (the one I found is from ilaptopbattery.co.uk, are they reputable? they also don't seem to ship to canada...)
