Preferred battery suppliers for Apple devices?
As a shop owner specializing in Apple repairs, I'm looking to streamline my battery replacement service for iPhones and MacBooks. I've been using a couple of suppliers, but I'm not entirely satisfied with the quality or pricing. I want to know who you all prefer for sourcing replacement batteries for Apple devices. Any recommendations on suppliers that provide reliable products? I'm particularly interested in pricing, shipping times, and ease of returns because those factors significantly impact our workflow and customer satisfaction.

I've been using iFixit for Apple batteries and they've been pretty reliable for me. Their products come with a good warranty, and I find their prices quite competitive compared to others. The shipping is usually fast, which is crucial for keeping our turnaround times short. Plus, they offer a nice selection of tools that can help us with the installation process. I also appreciate their detailed repair guides, which can be handy for some of the trickier models.
I've had mixed experiences with various suppliers, but I recently started sourcing from Battery Universe. They're a bit cheaper than iFixit, but I've found that their quality can be hit or miss. I recommend checking their return policy before placing larger orders, just in case you get a batch that's not up to par. Make sure to factor in shipping costs when comparing prices, as sometimes the savings can disappear quickly.
