Good place for Li-on battery?

I'd like to know this too. My son wants to fit a new iPhone (3) battery, and has found what he considers a 'good deal' on eBay. I am suspicious...!

Buy from UK sources who have very high feedback scores and you are at least likely to get good customer services.

There is a professional outfit called all batteries but I don't know if they are on ebay or competitively priced for what you want.

I've used these without problem, lucky maybe -

I think there is a quality difference here. :-).

Of course, there is always the official answer :)

This place in Leyland, Lancashire is very good. I live about 10 miles away and I go there for laptop and power tool batteries

Thanks.

Re my previous post - the prices was more expensive becuase it is a Lithium-ion polymer battery and not a Lithium-ion.

You are right to be wary - I bought a supposedly "high-capacity" battery for a Nokia phone from mobilefun.co.uk; 'twas useless.

for some time - so this thread was of interest.

Because the query rose as to why laptop batteries die pretty quickly seemingly (not an owner of one myself), I did some homework to find out why and what to do. There are differing recommendations on charging cycles, but the consistent advice is to take the battery out of the pc as much as possible as heat is the main contributor to it's demise. If you rarely use the battery, and can tolerate running the laptop off the mains, it seems charging the battery to 40% (I don't know how that's done!) and storing in a fridge is the best thing for it.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember robgraham saying something like:

Or discharge it to 40% - use the LEDs charge state indicators on the battery, if fitted.
