Tabs are too thick to fit in Toshiba Satellite.
The NextCell battery doesn't fit into the slot properly, the tabs are too thick, as seen in the picture. The Toshiba battery is on the top and says "Toshiba" and the tab is much thinner than from NextCell, which is on the bottom. As can be seen in the picture of the NextCell battery when viewed from the top, with the bar code, the tab is made very poorly and the hole is a slot. I don't have a caliper to measure it, but I would estimate the Toshiba battery has tabs 2mm thick and the NextCell is 3-4mm thick.Also, the Toshiba battery design capacity is 2800mAh, while the NextCell battery has a design capacity of 2200mAh, so this is a poor replacement. The NextCell battery I received has a capacity of ~2400mAh but only will charge to ~2000mAh, so they purchase a 2400mAh battery that only reaches ~80% and market it as 2200 so it seems like 90% capacity. I got these numbers through a battery analysis application.I was able to get the battery in by removing the bottom cover screws and shoving the battery in and then squeezing the cover so the battery could fit in completely.I would not recommend to anyone to purchase their replacement battery from this company, the quality is not worth the $43 that it sold for in July 2020.

Battery was useless within 6 months
I purchased this battery for my Toshiba C55 Satellite. It worked great for the first couple of months, giving me over 6 hrs of laptop usage with reasonable power settings - only slightly less than when the laptop was new with the OEM battery. But by 4 months of very sporadic usage, the battery was only giving about an hour of charge and providing absolutely no warning before dropping out. Windows would pop up the "battery low" 15 minute warning, and then the laptop would die within seconds. Now, after 6 months, the battery has no charge whatsoever. The moment I unplug my power cord, the laptop dies. This battery is more expensive than from other vendors. I could have gotten the cheapest battery for ~$20, which has 4 stars, and I would guess it probably gives similar performance.
