Apple MacBook Pro battery - where to buy?

[joydivision]

Got a Macbook on the desk which needs a new hard drive. My client also wants me to put a new battery on it. Apple want over £70 for one, but I can get one on Ebay which claims it CE and ISO 9000 sourced and e.g of a known quality.

Does anybody know any better sources for batteries? There must be some decent none Apple ones out there.

I bought some RAM from these guys a while back when I decided to upgrade the memory on my MacBook Pro. http://www.macsales.com/

Should have perhaps put in the title I am in the UK But while I am on the topic are the horror stories about ebay batteries correct?

My bad. I have never purchased a battery from ebay myself but I have heard the stories. I am sure there are techs here that know from experience. You could always give it a test and let your customer know what the possibilities are. Just my $.02.

We only use Apple batteries and our prices are the same as what the Apple store charges and there really is no markup in the cost. I wouldn't recommend any knockoffs.
