Is there anywhere ye would recommend buying a replacement battery for my 15" Macbook Pro instead of the Apple store at 139 euro? Thanks.

I wouldn't recommend cheaping out when it comes to Macbook batteries. There's too many Chineese knock-offs floating around that aren't very reliable to say the least.

I bought a Chinese knock-off for €50.

After 5 cycles it was at 45% of maximum.

I bought a mac battery in the Apple store in liverpool just over a year ago' It was about 35 euro cheaper than here. Check if the have a store in NI or maybe you know someone who's goin "over". I bought a replacement Dell battery on the net and it was useless after a few months.
