laptop battery replacement

The battery in my Thinkpad R50P is, like me, starting to show it's age.

It takes longer to charge and the charge isn't lasting as long - about 2.5 hours tops.
It's an old laptop, still with pretty decent specs, but not worth spending $250 for a genuine IBM battery.

Does anyone have experience with after market, none genuine batteries in a laptop?
At the price some of them sell for ($25 is lowest so far) I'm not expecting miracles but any extension on usable time will be welcome.
