I'm trying to find a replacement battery for my laptop (Dell Precision M3800, I'm after the larger 5180mAh battery).

So many of the websites seem dubious, shipping direct from China. Don't really want to risk it with something like a big laptop battery! Has anyone got any good reliable distributers they can suggest?

Ifixit are good if they have the part that you need. They are unlikely to be the cheapest but they are reliable

Not sure of the accuracy of this statement, but I think Duracell make most of the OEM batteries. You could try them direct.

I was going to suggest I'd got a cheap-ish but not too cheap one for mine but checked and yours looks like a pillow battey not the older 18650's in a plastic tube style laptop batteries.

The duracell website have one for £70 which I presume must be good enough?

Duracell seem to be the best/most reliable place to buy.

Thanks all, the duracell one is 4400mAh vs the 5180mAh i currently have. I guess it's only 15% less, I probably should just go with that!

I've bought a few off eBay. Takes a while to wade through the low ratings, but you can filter to UK only and have some more confidence.
