I'm looking to purchase an extra battery for my Z1 since my original is at 20% battery wear. I'm looking for a silver 6 cell or the bigger 9 cell battery, makes no difference to me. I just want to purchase a genuine one because I am worried about the aftermarket batteries. What would be a good site to buy it from? Thanks

Are you handy with tools? Individual lithium-Ion cells can be bought for relatively cheap from reputable sources such as batteryspace.com and batteryjunction.com (disregard the early '90s looking website--they are both very reputable battery vendors). 9 individual 3000mAh 18650 cells can be bought for less than $50, and with some elbow grease, you can have a brand-spankin'-new high capacity battery
. (Note, for this to work, you need to HAVE a 9 cell battery case, if you have a 6 cell battery case, then you can only replace it with 6 cells, obviously).
There are also great guides that help you to replace the internal cells, such as this one:
