New batteries for mobiles - any recommended places to buy?

I've had my Motorola V3i for a while, and the battery charge isnt lasting as long as it used to. Think it's just a case of "natural" death of the battery, as a previous mobile had a similar problem which was solved when I got a new battery for it.

Unfortunately that was yonks ago, and I can't remember where I got the new battery. Don't want to try my usual cheap-o place eBay as there's so many fakes out there which will probably not work.

That said, I'd rather not pay £40 for a new battery either if I can avoid it :eek:

Anyone know somewhere reputable and cheap? Ahhh the dream....

    Have you checked E Bay ?You should be okay as long as you buy one from someone with plenty of good feedback.

    Not yet, been a bit put off by many tales of fraudsters and scammers, thought buying from elsewhere would give a bit of an after sales guarantee... will have a look though :)

    hi,

    send me a pm, i've got some original ones. most people on ebay etc sell copies as original and its getting harder to tell the difference now as even the fakes come with holo logo's.
