Replacement battery

[Baldfella]

Hi, I need to replace my battery on my freego eagle. The best price I’ve seen is on Alibaba.com. Has anyone bought from here and are they any good?

How much would a battery from Alibaba cost you, including delivery?

You might want to chat to these people and see if they can recell your old batt for a reasonable fee.. and welcome.

Thanks I’ll give them a ring. The batteries are quite cheap but the postage and tax costs as much or more !! It would make it about £165 which I can get one from eBay for roughly that. If I was more technical I’d have a go at repairing it myself as I’ve been advised it’s probably only a few of the cells that have gone. It’s charging up but not holding power. I don’t want to replace it if I can refurb it.

Lots of batteries look the same ie same casing but it's the cells inside that count.

A cheapo Chinese battery with no name cells may well be a false economy. It won't last as long as a decent Samsung celled one for example
