Where is the best place to buy spare batteries from? I would prefer to find a good price for an original battery rather than a compatible as I have heard that some of the copies don't have the best life expectancy.

My camera is a Sony A65 :)

Could do with finding a supplier for the AC adapter too ...
 
Try 7dayshop.com get all my batteries from them.

Found these: http://www.thelaptoppowersupplyshop.co.uk/camera-battery-duracell-dr9695?language=en&currency=GBP&utm_source=Google&utm_medium=products&utm_campaign=product%2Bsearch ... I did not realise Duracell made replacement batteries? Can't find them on their site either so maybe copies?

Duracell don't make them, but they license their name to be used on them. I checked with P&G (who own the Duracell brand since they bought Gillette) and PSA Parts is the approved licensee.

For £7.50ish on Ebay for an FM500H, I've got a couple of spares + a spare charger (with 12V Car charging lead), they seem to be good so far, and they are the same brand as my Minolta NP400's which I've also got from ebay and those have been charged hundreds of times over 3-4 years and still work today..

I'd be very wary of anything non original that wasn't a large brand, because a lot of places charge double/triple ebay prices yet get them from the same Chinese sources..

Basically, if you buy original, you are assured of the quality, but if you are going to buy non oem, then perhaps it's worth taking the risk of eBay, if a £7.50 battery only lasted 1 year, it'd still be excellent VFM..

The Duracell one above you would think would have some semblence of quality, and isn't horrifically priced, it might be worth a punt if you aren't too keen on taking the eBay route..
