Recommended MacBook Pro Battery Seller in UK?

Lounge

The battery on my 13" late 2011 MacBook Pro is in need of replacement.

Does any one have any trusted/recommended laptop battery suppliers in the UK to suggest?

Thanks,
Paul

Thanks but just realised I forgot to say UK based.

I bought from iFixit recently. The first battery (I thought) was faulty so they sent another. Turns out it was a weird fault in the MBA, which I found a workaround for. I explained this to them and expected to have to pay to return the first, but they said just keep both. They are not cheap, by any means, and I personally believe they use the exact same batteries as the cheaper sellers (perhaps with better QA), but their aftercare is far better so IMO worth paying the extra for.

Thanks, will have a look

They ship to Malaysia so I would assume they would send to UK

I would also recommend ifixit. Very quick delivery and helpful instructions and videos. I bought from the UK website, but the battery kit came from EU.

Went with SubTel in the end. Not quite as high a capacity as the iFixit battery but price and warranty were a lot better (3 years and 5200 mAh for £30 v iFixit’s 1 year and 5510 mAh for ~£80).

Will see how it pans out in the longer term.

Thanks for all the recommendations!
