Very much as it says anyone any recommendations for decent laptop
battery suppliers?.

Seen prices for the one i want from 12 odd quid to 108! Must be a decent
price performance medium in there somewhere, so any suppliers
recommended please?

It's a crapshoot, since many of them are fake and die after a short while.
Can you buy an official one from the manufacturer direct?
A lot of the online battery vendors are actually fronts for Chinese
companies, dressed up as UK sellers (so good luck with returns).

If the battery is thick (ie it's not a flat pouch cell like phones) it
probably contains 18650 cells. I'd be tempted to consider re-celling the
battery with decent brand 18650s (Samsung, Panasonic, LG, Sony), since at
least you know where they came from.
