For most devices you technically can, but 95% of the aftermarket proprietary battery market is absolute garbage. You'll pay 40% of the OEM battery price, and get 50% of the runtime, and more importantly 25% of the usable lifespan. Or, you might get lucky and get the one really good battery that slipped through QA and should have gone to the "excessive markup" pile. Total crap shoot.
