Battery Replacement in the UK

My MacBook battery has at last given up the ghost. I'm now only getting about an hour and a half to two hours from a full charge, with bluetooth, wireless etc all switched off.

Much as it pains me to fork out he kind of cash that Apple are looking for, I'm going to have to give in and buy a replacement battery (my MacBook is 14 months old)

Can anyone suggest anywhere in the UK that I can get an authentic Apple battery for less than the £99 that Apple want for it?

It maybe the one item that only apple sell.

IIRC, there were some duff batteries in early macbooks.

It might be an idea to see if Apple will replace yours - I assume you did not take out the extended 2 year Applecare warranty?

Yes I think it should have given you longer life really, I expect longer from mine. I would take into the Apple store and see what they say, if u have Applecare

Actually, he'll need this one for a MacBook.

thanks guys. unfortunately I didn't take out the extended warranty, so I'm not sure how I'd get on with taking it in to the Apple Store. going to give it a bash though, as I'm shocked at how quickly it has died on me.

failing that I may order one from the likes of fastmac.com, but how can I be certain that they're not going to die just as fast (if not faster) than the official Apple battery?
