There's always cheaper alternatives but a genuine Apple battery preserves your warranty especially with the spate of defective batteries in different circumstances and products in the news.

Batteries have added circuits to monitor the battery charge and health and an apple battery will naturally conform to that standard.
 
Thanks!
 
Buy from Apple store. You can't tell the battery is genuine or not if you purchased from third-party stores.
