Pros
Cons
Verdict
Better Batt is an excellent choice for consumers seeking affordable, hard-to-find batteries backed by a highly attentive support team. While most orders are delivered promptly, customers should verify stock locations if a purchase is time-sensitive to avoid potential international shipping delays.
Absolutely fantastic service. I’m a happy repeat customer. Most recently bought some Fuji replacement batteries. I got three Better Batts for the price of one first party battery and it’s just as good. And the customer service is fantastic. I had an error in the address, one message and it was fixed. Massive shoutout to Gen for then reaching out and making sure all was okay with the order. Will be using them again and again and again. Show details
I bought a few batteries for 3 different video cameras including a 26yo 8mm Sony camcorder. All batteries were a perfect fit and matched OEM battery housings and chargers and in some cases could pack more juice in them compared to much older OEM batteries of the same physical size. They're great value and service has been quick. There was one… Read more · 1
battery that wouldn't charge but it was all sorted with a replacement within a week. BB will be my first port of call in the future.

I needed a new battery for my old Motorola phone. This one worked a treat and I was able to get all the photos and media I needed off the mobile :) Show details · 1
I had an issue with a printer cartridge not working. Better Batt responded quickly to my online enquiry and Gen gave me clear directions on several ways to try to fix the problem. I worked my way through the list and managed to sort the problem. No issues with the way that the ink works. Happy customer who will use them again in the future. Show details · 1

On Sunday 18th January 2026 I purchased these for $52.98. On Wednesday 21st January 2026 I just received an empty box with nothing inside it so I chatted to customer support who are refusing to replace the items for me so I would avoid this company because they are fraudulent scammers. Show details
I placed an order on 30 July, clearly shown as in stock. After weeks of silence and chasing, I was told it would take another 2–3 weeks. Then, after almost a month of waiting, they finally admitted the item was actually out of stock with no ETA at all. Dont be fooled by "in Stock", Thier defination of in stock is it may or may not be somewhere in… Read more
mainland china, exact location and ETA of which they are not sure.
This company knowingly lists items as “in stock” bieng australian operated business when they are not in Australia, stringing customers along with repeated excuses and empty apologies. Their communication is slow, vague, and unhelpful. Instead of taking accountability, they push the burden back on the customer to cancel and wait for a refund.
This is not just poor service, it’s outright misleading and dishonest. Wasted over a month of my time for nothing. I strongly advise avoiding this business altogether. They cannot be trusted to deliver what they advertise.

The support was excellent with an unexpected offer of a refundwithout me asking for one. Much appreciated, Murray. Show details · 1
Follow-up · The refund was offered when i informed them i had the same issue with the replacement battery. Contacting support was good i had no problems with support the were very helpful. The replacement battery was not faulty as after further testing i found the charge circuit on the motherboard was faulty.
They spent time figuring out what type of battery I needed. Very impressed. Received battery quickly and it works great. Cannot recommend highly enough. Have recommended to my family for future needs. Show details · 2
Follow-up · Battery still going strong, no issues. Installation was undoing 3 screws, and slotting in. Battery was for a hand held vacuum cleaner.
Better Battery returns – Better Battery through no fault of their own sent the wrong battery to me. The labeling on the battery from the factory was incorrect. The amount I paid for the battery has already been credited to my account after I advised them the wrong battery was sent to me Show details · 1
Follow-up · Yes I did get the correct battery sent to me after the wrongly labelled battery was sent to me originally. I didn't have to sent the original battery back, Better Battery were happy for me to keep it. As it was no use to me I disposed of it in a battery recycling bin
In-depth reviews
I rarely write reviews, but this experience truly deserves recognition. From the moment I placed my order, the team at Better Batt demonstrated a level of professionalism and transparency that is very uncommon in online shopping today. Shortly after ordering, I was informed that the item was on backorder. While this could have been frustrating,… Read more · 1
what impressed me was how proactively and consistently they managed the situation.
Instead of leaving customers in the dark, Shine and the team provided regular updates throughout the entire process. Every stage was clearly communicated—whether it was supplier delays, expected timelines, or status changes. This level of communication gave me full confidence that my order was being properly handled.
Most importantly, once the stock arrived, they immediately followed through with dispatch and provided tracking details without delay. The entire process felt organised, accountable, and customer-focused.
In an environment where many online retailers overpromise and underdeliver, Better Batt does the opposite—they set realistic expectations and then execute reliably. That builds real trust.
What stood out to me:
Proactive and honest communication from start to finish
Regular updates without needing to chase
Clear accountability and follow-through
Smooth transition from backorder to delivery
A genuinely customer-first approach
This has been one of the best online shopping experiences I’ve had, and I would not hesitate to recommend Better Batt to others or purchase from them again.
Thank you to Shine and the team for setting a standard that many others should follow.

Helpful advice and reliable service – The battery for my Nikon DSLR camera ceased to work after only 3 years and I could not get a replacement battery from any of the camera shops ( all out of stick with waiting lists) I wanted to be certain any 'third party" battery would work, so did not just want to order online. A camera shop mentioned Betterbatt's so I called and was relieved… Read more · 1
that they have people not robots providing customer service. They were well informed but also double checked my questions to ensure the battery would work with my camera model and also checked that the charger was suitable and that I could also use my existing charger, if I chose. The charger works from mains electricity and from a car and is very affordable. I noticed that Betterbatt's return policy is very generous however do not need to use it as the batteries and charger work very well and arrived within a couple of days. I definitely recommend this company and now have the use of my camera, thank goodness.

Great customer support – Elcana responded promptly to my enquiry about why my Dell Inspiron 15 3576 would not recognise the replacement battery supplied by Better Batt. My laptop said I must use Dell replacement parts. She patiently took me through a series of work arounds which failed to fix the problem so she arranged for a replacement battery to be sent. In the… Read more · 1
meantime I was able to contact Dell customer service who also took me through a series of steps until they agreed that I needed to replace the battery. I explained I already knew this and asked for a replacement battery, After a period of waiting on hold they explained that this laptop is no longer supported by Dell as it is over 3 years old. I should source a battery from a third party. I explained that I had tried this but my Laptop would not accept anything other than a Dell part. She was unable to help me with this. My Dell laptop also refused to recognise the replacement battery from Better Batt So finally Elcana suggested I return the batteries and she will arrange a refund. She suggested I try another supplier who might have batteries with a different chip. As you can see Elcana's support and sympathetic and patient advice was flawless, I would highly recommend anyone to use them as a supplier. But as for Dell...... The main reason I chose this laptop as it was the only laptop I could find with a built in CD/DVD player. I am still on my quest for another battery. I am currently trying Laptop Plus...

Batteries lasted a very short time. Purchased two replacement batteries for two laptop computers in January of 2023. After charging to 100%, Battery 1 held charge for less than 5 min upon installation in Computer 1. Battery 2 worked fine for about two years in Computer 2, then same failure to hold charge (drops to zero charge in about 1 minute after charging to 100%). Show details

Recently bought a charger for an OM Systems TG-7 camera. On the fourth attempt to charge a battery, one of the charger pins broke and the charger wouldn't charge at all. Was in northern Indonesia at the time, so couldn't send it back. Upon returning, we requested a refund, answered a long list of mostly irrelevant questions, and made some… Read more
suggestions as to how the company could improve it's customer service. And never heard back from them, despite a follow-up email. Better Batt obviously has no intention of honoring the charger's warranty. AVOID this company and make similar purchases on, for example, Amazon.com.au, where Amazon will if necessary, stand behind an Amazon marketplace purchase.

wasted several weeks of my time by sending me the wrong battery for my laptop, then having the nerves for asking me to pay for the return postage, then asked for more money to send the correct battery which i had paid the advertised price for, even after all that i tried to get him to send me what i paid for for the advertised price, he declined… Read more
but gave me my refund. I ended up buying the correct item from BIG W online for the same advertised price. Not a very intelligent person to deal with.

Got the battery in the stated time period. Excellent communication to make sure that was the correct product and the time it will take to deliver. When I fitted the battery it clipped into the watch without me needing to solder anything. Show reply
There was a small delay with one of the items in my order but the support team at BetterBatt reached out to me proactively and added another cartridge to my order as a kind gesture. I am very happy with Better Batt and will definitely use them for my future orders of ink cartridges. Show reply

Had a couple hiccups, got the wrong model and Gen was very helpful! Excellent customer service. Especially appreciated the follow ups, having the type of ADHD that means you rarely remember to respond to people online, it was such a relief. Show reply
My experience with Better Batt has been amazing. I've ordered from them before and have always been impressed with the quality, so I decided to buy some for my new camera.

pleasure to deal with and checked in with me several times throughout the process to make sure everything was sorted.
I couldn't be happier with both their products and their customer service. Thanks again :)
After a short importation delay ( I didn't notice that the batterys that I'd ordered were out of stock since I ordered them on my mobile) they arrived within an appropriate length of time. Batteries look of high quality and the one I've installed is given new life to a 3 year old watch. Where it would barely last a day now lasts around 3 days.well worth the 40 bucks. Easy install, with the right tools. Show details · 1
The whole process from start to end was a breeze and made even more so; thanks to the help of Sunshine Hiwatig; (shine), who answered any questions or concerns I initially had over the pricing on the website (vs Google ads) then clearly explained all and any other part of the sale process. It’s because of this high level of customer service that… Read more · 1
I will not only recommend betterbatt to anyone, but will also definitely return for any of my other replacement battery needs.
Shipping updates and tracking info were given to me as soon as they became available; as well as the offer for follow up support and assistance; even before the parcel had arrived (which was very fast too btw)

invaluable in sorting out which battery we needed. Within a few days the new one arrived and not only does it hold 50% greater charge but the max setting is working again. Excellent customer service and best pricing out there.
Follow-up · Still 100% better and cheaper than the dyson batteries
Goods arrived as expected. Battery was successfully charged and is now in my camera. I then used the new charger to re-charge the "dead" re-chargeable battery that I was told was beyond further use and it charged normally in approx the same time as did the new battery. I have not yet tested it in my camera. I'm very pleased with my purchases and looking forward to using my Nikon Coolpix again. Your service was first class. Show reply
