Where can I get a replacement battery for the iBook G3 Clamshell M6411, in the UK?

I recently managed to source an Indigo iBook G3 clamshell - the M6411 FireWire model - from eBay.
It's in superb condition, but the battery has had it, and only holds about 5-10 minutes' charge.
Can anyone suggest where I can get a replacement? I guess I just assumed it would be easy, but everywhere I look online they're either sold out or cost a fairly large amount of money - I paid £50 for the laptop, which was a pretty good deal, and had hoped to get a battery for under £30 (as I've bought similar replacement batteries before for other laptops).
Also, are all the G3 Clamshell batteries the same? Or do the different models have different batteries?

Some items come up in a search for Mac parts UK; whether or not they have
an exact part match for any vintage product has not been searched...
Most that I have looked into, show any battery "out of stock" &/or listed "used."
A good electronics shop with an understanding of how these batteries are wired
in their case (and any controller chip circuitry) should be able to install new cells
inside the case; however opening these may present a problem if done forcefully.

In the US, wegenermedia.com, powerbookmedic.com, & others may know of stock.
So far, I'd struck out searching; could be one may need to contact long standing
Apple specialists & those who repair vintage models, to get refurbished batteries.
Perhaps there is a message board or User Group site where one could try & contact
Apple users; of those some may know of a source, or an individual capable of repair
since these battery units have been refurbished before with new rechargeable cells.
Sorry to not be of exact help in this matter.
Good luck & happy computing!

  • Where can I get a replacement battery for my 13 inch MacBook for a reasonable price?

    I have been searching for a replacement battery for my 13 inch MacBook.  Does any one have any good recommendations on where to get one for a reasonable price?

    You can get a new third party battery fairly cheap on eBay. Every MacBook from 2006 through Mid 2009 except the Late 2008 Aluminum Unibody and the Late 2009 and 2010 White Unibodies use the same A1185 battery.

  • Where can I get a replacement battery for macbook 7,1 13"?

    My battery condition is at "replace now" and the battery life is so poor that my macbook is now essentially a desktop, however I don't know where to find the right type of battery, and obviously I don't want to purchase the wrong type. Does anyone know where I can get one?
    Please help!

    The model 6,1 Late 2009 and the model 7,1 Mid 2010 A1342 use an A1331 battery. You can replace it yourself or have Apple do it for you for $129. If you need it quickly make sure you order it from a U. S. seller. Orders from China can take two or three weeks.

    Here's installation instructions. You'll need a Tri Wing Y1 screwdriver in addition to the usual #00 Phillips screwdriver.

  • Where can I get a replacement drive for my Macbook 2007?

    My hard disk on my 2007 Macbook died. Where can I get a replacement?

    For a new hard drive try Newegg.com

    To transfer your current hard drive I like the applications Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper. They make a bootable copy of everything on your hard drive. http://www.bombich.com/index.html or http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html 
    You'll need a cheap SATA external hard drive case. Put the new drive in the case then format and partition the new drive and clone your old drive to the new one. Check that it's set up right by booting up from the external drive. Then replace your old hard drive with the new one and put your old one in the external case.

  • Where can I get a new battery for my Galaxy S3

    Looking for a new battery for my Galaxy S3. Contract is up and I want to keep my phone. without a new contract and phone.

    Amazon.com is a great place, be wary of anything too cheap though I have purchased generic brand ones with a charger and their life is about half what a genuine Samsung battery is.
    Also watch for NFC capable if you wish to maintain that capability.
