Hi all,

Im new to the forum so I hope I'm posting this in the right place! I really need some help!
I have a unibody Macbook pro 15" that I bought new just over 3 years ago. recently I noticed the battery was becoming especially problematic,I've tried calibrating it but it makes no difference. I checked the health of my battery (I'm ashamed to say for the first time!) and it says "replace now" and the cycle count is very high, 1131 to be exact.

I've come to the conclusion it's time to replace the battery. Having watched a few videos of battery replacement, I don't fancy (and can't really afford) paying apple loads to do something that I can easily do myself.

The trouble is there are so many knock off batteries out there, does anyone know where I could get a genuine OEM battery (A1321) that won't cost an arm and a leg in the UK?
