The original battery with iBook G4 14 inch worked well from 2004 to 2009 - 5 years life.
Unimpressed by reports in 2009 of poor experience with Apple replacement batteries at £87, a cheaper non-Apple battery was fitted [ £52 from global-batteries/BatteryGuru ].
This was never as good as the original battery, as it would not charge unless there was activity on the iBook.
But it did work till recently, when with battery showing about 40% full, it would suddenly stop with a black screen, and no computer activity.
When connecting the charger, the battery showed a much lower figure of near 0% full.
So after less than 3 years it is time to get a replacement battery again.
The question is, which supplier?
Apple do not seem to supply replacement batteries for G4 now.
I am thinking of the following with a claimed 3 year warranty.

Any better suggestions?
I am looking for the longest life battery, not necessarily the cheapest.
