Hi all - looking to change the battery on these as starting to run low - actually doing it is fine, but trying to find anywhere that supplies these (without eBay/AliExpress) is becoming difficult.

Just wondering if anyone knew of someone selling them in the UK, or perhaps Europe?

Worst case, and AliExpress sellers that are trusted and won't be fake batteries? For context it's a varta cp1254 a3

Thanks in advance all!

That's the one - yes. Seems like a massive price inflation over the actual cost of them though?

Also was slightly concerned they'd removed the name, so not varta quality?

A very good point! I'm slightly dubious of the "Varta Cheap Batteries" category.

Edit : to be fair it says "high-quality alternatives " in the description.

I've seen them on aliexpress. Customer reviews are good. The sellers also seem to have a decent rating. Are there really fakes out there?

I would assume so? Seems odd a German battery manufacturer would ship to China to then ship back into Europe?
