    So my battery is dipping low into 80% wear and tear so i'm looking to buy a new battery (new would be preffered, but used with less than 20% wear would be ok too).
    Where can i get one inside EU?

    It has 80% charge left or 20%? 80% wear and tear would mean only 20% original capacity.

    F310J

    Try that part number for the battery for M17x R2. They should be pretty cheap like under 80 USD.

    It has 80% wear -> 20% of original capacity.

    I tried, but in EU cheapest new i can get are 100€ + Shipping. wich is a bit too high IMO...
    My battery lasts 20min so long enough to save all work if power goes out, wich is happening a lot these days over here :/

    Well even on ebay there are none under 100€ + shipping for EU residents....

    And if i buy from US i'll have to wait a month + pay additional 22% import duties.

    Thanks J.Dre, that one would be 100$ if i count in the shipping... i'll look around if there is a way of getting one locally or from within EU, otherwise i'll take the one you linked :)

    eBay seems like a great place to get them. Have you checked parts-people.com?

    Why is it so important that the vendor is within EU?

    this for instance would have been just a few days away if ordered when you started thinking about it setting you back less than 100 euro including shipping.

    THIS would be apx the same, and there are more.

    Parts-people don't have it.
    I'm buying it from US, thanks.

    And how do i make sure that the battery is indeed genuine after i receive it?
    Is there any way of checking....
