    Hi all,
    I purchased a battery from <battery-mall.co.uk>, it was sent from hong kong,
    although the site said it would be dispatched from UK. I now have to pay import taxes on this.
    The site has several varients, with the same company. easy to recognise.
    Also <LaptopBattery4u.co.uk> among others.
    i have no idea of the quality. Its taken four weeks and I have to collect and pay E27 tomorrow. Im very unhappy with this.
    Caveat emptor..................... Johntranum

    No one does. That something unique to batteries; and they're all made in China. However, when you purchase from the manufacturer, you do get a complete warranty.
