Where to get a good replacement battery from?

I would like to replace the battery on a Samsung S5 Mini and eBay looks to be a minefield. Although loads of listings claim to be "genuine" and "original" the feedback would suggest otherwise!

Can anyone tell me where I can get a genuine Samsung battery or a good quality replacement from, please?

Thanks
 
Old thread, I know-
but just for general knowlege I want to deposit my 2¢.

When looking for a replacement battery, I have found it much more useful to simply enter the exact model number of the battery that I am looking for directly into the search bar of my browser, and then disregarding any information about what devices it will work in.

And yes, I would also stay away from Ebay.

Yeah, I know the feeling.

I sometimes feel strange adding to an ancient thread, but if I have any info that can help someone, or as in this case I recently just went through a couple of battery replacements- I go ahead and leave the info.

Just in case.


I honestly find it helpful. Theres a good chance the information may help someone else in search of the same answer. The more input the better. :)
