Screen flicker and crash, looks like I need a new battery

Galaxy Note 1 have recently started to flicker and die sometimes, even with 40% left. Researching this it seems the battery is on its way out. It's not warm or bulging but I might as well... Phone still has original battery so I'd expect it to start to die after all this time. Went to Maplin and asked if they sell…

Went to Maplin and asked if they sell batteries but they said to try online.
Is there a particular brand that is good and where do I get it?
Anker sold on Amazon seems a good brand, is anyone using them?

When the battery goes it fast. Today I can't hardly take it off charge and it dies.
I'll just go with Anker and hope it's a good battery (other sites suggest it).
