Mobile phone replacement battery retailer????

[Bodge]

Any pointers folks?
Just spent the last 30 minutes searching for a new battery for my smart phone (Acer Liquid MT) but my searches send me mostly to Ebay. Does anyone use a retailer or know of one that sells decent (don't burn the house down) batteries?
I can't find a genuine one from Acer.

Thanks

Anker batteries are meant to be quite good. I have put one in my Samsung Galaxy S. Don't know if they do ones for your phone.

Used batteries of ebay for well over ten phones without issue, will use them again, can't see a problem to be honest. Last purchase were two of each for G1, S2, S3 and HD7, all working fine.

Snap, never had a problem with ebay batteries.

I've bought batteries for a variety of Nokia phones through Amazon. Despite a few negative reviews for the same suppliers, my batteries always seemed to be genuine Nokia, though I suppose that it would be possible to counterfeit the holographic sticker, too. Performance has been comparable or better to the batteries delivered with the phones (I try get a higher capacity battery).

If you can't find what you need, or don't trust the supplier, some phone shops sell batteries over the counter... Or you could try Farnell/RS.

I've bought batteries for various phones from Amazon and evilbay, in more than one case they've turned out to be better than OEM parts.

Bought Ebay batteries for my Nokia and then my Sony Ericsson, and no problems. The one for my xperia x10 was better than the one that came with the phone to be honest.

Thanks for the input. I have found an ebay shop selling them for £10 delivered. Will probably give them a whirl. I am wary of copy batteries with no overcharge protection. No way of knowing really but high feedback will be my prefered choice.
