I bought a replacement for another Dell laptop which seems fine.
However www.replacement-batteries.co.uk doesn't seem to be there any more.

I am suspicious of the cheapness of Amazon offerings.

Does anyone know of a current reliable supplier?

Cheers

iFixit. But they may not stock them.

Given that every laptop revision seems to have a different battery, supply
seems to be very hit and miss.

Last December I found a battery for my ageing XPS13 via Google at Subtel.co.uk.
After a few months (actually little used) it had lost a lot of capacity and
eventually refused to charge. I contacted them, they asked a few questions and
pointed out they offer a three year warranty, so of course they'd be sending me
a replacement (which works fine).

Bookmarked!

I've just bought a replacement from the Amazon UK Dell store which I'm
hoping will be authentic ;-) Worth a look at least.
