Reliable site to buy a laptop battery

Solved

Hello,

The battery of my SAMSUNG laptop is no longer charging (stuck at 0% and the computer shuts down as soon as I unplug it)
So I need to buy a new battery.
I called SAMSUNG's customer service, and they told me they don't sell batteries and instructed me to order from Battdepot... however, if I look at the reviews on CCM, there are no positive reviews, especially not recent ones.
Where do you get your batteries?
Are these batteries brand-name or compatible... how can I verify that?
I called Auchan (where I purchased my computer) and they quoted me €52 + €6 for shipping while Battdepot is advertising €18.99 + €8.99 for shipping.
What’s your opinion?
Thank you and have a nice day

Configuration: Windows / Firefox 62.0

    Hello,
    Here is a reliable site located in France, see this page. On the battdepot site you mentioned, there is neither an address nor a phone number; in my opinion, this site is located abroad, so be wary.

      I looked on the site... aside from the fact that theirs is white instead of black... the power is 5,200 while I need 4,400 mAh... and the warranty is 6 months instead of one year
      as for the price, it is double... ouch ouch ouch...
      Do you think that the Samsung France customer service technician would have given me an unreliable site???
      I admit that this price difference bothers me a lot financially.
      Best regards
