Best wholesale supplier for iPad mini batteries?
Hey everyone, I'm in search of a reliable wholesale supplier for iPad mini batteries. My shop has been getting quite a few requests for repairs lately, and I want to ensure that I'm sourcing high-quality batteries that won't come back for RMA too often. I've tried a couple of local suppliers, but their prices seem to be on the higher side, and I've had mixed results with their products. Ideally, I'm looking for a supplier that offers competitive pricing without sacrificing quality, along with a decent return policy for defective items. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

I highly recommend checking out BatteryJoe. I've been sourcing my iPad mini batteries from them for about a year and have had great experiences. Their prices are very competitive, usually around $15-$20 per battery depending on the quantity you order. The quality has been solid too; I haven't had to process many RMAs, which is a huge plus. They also have a straightforward return policy, and their customer service is responsive if you run into any issues. Plus, they offer bulk discounts which can help lower your costs even more.
I've tried a few suppliers, but one that I found decent is iFixit. Their prices are a bit higher, starting around $25 per battery, but the quality is usually reliable. I’ve had a couple of RMAs, but their return process was smooth. If you're looking for a quick turnaround, they ship pretty fast, which can be a lifesaver if you’re in a pinch. Just keep in mind that you might pay a premium for their products.
