    I'd be obliged for help identifying a good quality replacement for this battery for a small drone. The branded replacements (Amazon link) no longer seem to ship to Ireland post Brexit.

    Photo attached: it's 3.7V 500mAh, marked with the numbers 851740 & 6200928; approx. 4cm x 2cm x 8mm. There's not much space in the battery bay - anything more than a couple of mm off in any dimension probably won't fit.

    Not shipping has nothing to do with Brexit. You can't get Lipo batteries by post/courier as they are classed as hazardous. Stupid I know, but nobody bar maybe the Chinese will ship internationally.

    Have you tried using An Post Address pal?

    This gets you a forwarding address in the UK, Amazon should ship to that. You then pay a fee for the An Post shipping , depending on size and also import costs if its over a threshold value (around €20 inc shipping - theirs and Amazons). You can get it delivered to the home address or collect from myour local Post office
