Took a week to arrive, no confirmation of order, no delivery information and unbelievably, no invoice. After sales is a joke, just ignor my emails. Expensive mistake, be warned.
This site is a rip-off! He ( Luo Xianghua, aka Sunny) sent a battery which did not fit my laptop, I tried to return it for a refund but got no response until I threatened with a PayPal dispute. I was finallly asked to send the battery to an address in the UK which I think was another Customer? The battery cost me £ 39.98 and a further £ 4.20 postage - he refunded me £ 18.00 and now ignores all my emails. He had also managed to drag the refund out past PayPal's 45 days cutoff so they won't refund but they have told me he is being investigated!
Avoid at all costs!
I ordered a battery for my laptop, and then read the awful reviews. I actually received very good service, I was kept up to date on the progress of my order by email, and asked to confirm when it arrived, which was very quickly. The battery works and it was a good price.
Ordered a battery and then read the reviews. Requested a refund and have had no reply since - 4 days ago. Contacted PayPal and should hopefully be receiving a refund.
Hello,
I ordered a replacement Toshiba battery, on 1st June 2015, and it arrived yesterday 10th June from Germany.
I was concerned when I saw the negative reviews dating from 2011, 2012. I paid 24GBP, about 35 euro. I am very happy with replacement battery, and now I have a 90min run time, instead of a 2 minute dud cutting out. Batteries do age, and deteriorate over time, and I suspect mine was 8 years old.
Replacement Laptop Battery for TOSHIBA PA3450U-1BRS
Item# LTPTB053.
The transaction was conducted through Paypal. Emails were answered at 2am/3am, so I do accept the responder is based in the Far East.
Update *** 28th Sept 2015 ****
Folks, I spoke too soon. I used the laptop on battery for 1.5 hours 2 weeks ago, and it died. Plugged in mains, and now battery is 0% after a deep discharge, and won't charge at all. Flat as a pancake! Need mains full time. I got approx 10 weeks out of it, but it died at the first deep discharge.
Update *** 19th Nov 2015 ****
Ordered a battery from Laptopchargers Info *******@laptopchargers.ie, who are Ireland based. 39.99 + 7 shipping. 4 working days turnaround. It is going very good after 6 weeks of usage.

I was a little concerned at some of the reviews for this company, but as its the only place advertising a specialist charger I needed I had no option but to buy here, I wasn't disappointed, the charger arrived after a few days and is exactly what I needed, try to read past the bad reviews and give them a try if you need something specialist.
www.top-battery.co.uk is the worst retailer I found until now. It's based in Shenzen so be very aware: don't be fooled be the. co.uk because the battery is shipped from Shenzen, then in Hong Kong and then in Singapore - at least from the tracking number. From Singapore the battery should arrive in about 7 working days in UK (London) but in my case it didn't arrived at all. So I think I was ripped off. Don't buy from them!

Two months ago I bought two batteries for my two laptops hp on a website selling batteries was in Portuguese, as a month had not yet received the batteries, examining the receipt of payment Paypal puesd want to complain to this incidence discovered that the payment was made on behalf di Xianghua Luo i in Google saw that this man had a lousy references as a seller.
The question is that as hard Cargano or other buyers say one hour in one of the batteries. Now seeing as I return and claim the amount or send me another. A lousy salesman

I bought a replacement upgrade battery for my Acer Laptop from this supposedly UK based company, they sent me the wrong battery that in no way met the description on their website. I have tried contacting them and have had no response and now seems I have wasted my money on a completely useless battery. NOTE they do not have any address or contact details only an e-mail address. MY ADVICE IS TO STAY WELL CLEAR OF THIS DODGEY COMPANY!
Can't give a review with NO STARS!
Awful company to deal with - got battery promptly, worked for a couple of days, then failed to charge. Been given the runaround. By the Chineese del-boys ever since.
Have now come to the conclusion to say goodbye to the money.
DO NOT PURCHASE ANYTHING FROM THESE PEOPLE
I wish I had read the reviews before I ordered from this site. I too assumed this was a UK based compnay but as some of you have pointed out, they come from mainland China. My battery took one month to arrive. And when it did it was found to be incompatible with my Dell laptop. I am now trying to get a refund but Mr (Sunny) Xinghua Luo has suddenly gone very quiet. I intend to complain to Paypal and get them barred from Paypal. DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS SITE>
Don't touch this site with a bargepole. They are based in China, and the goods ship from Hong Kong. When my laptop charger arrived it didn't work, and my emails were ignored. It was only after opening a dispute with paypal that I got any answers which, after sending them photos of it not working, was to send the goods back. It took a while to get the address, which was in Hong Kong. At this point I stopped because I thought that I'd end up sending it back to Hong Kong and would probably hear nothing - sending tracked to HK would be expensive so I put it down to being a lesson learned. The Paypal disputes process isn't great either: you have to say why you are opening a dispute and 'it doesn't work' isn't an option so you have to say that it is damaged so it won't work.
The top battery website doesn't give an address: now there's a clue. I was always told that you shouldn't use a website where you can't tell where the company is based and that's very much the case. I ignored my own common sense and I hope that my tale might prevent someone else from doing the same.
Full of scam never post items they don't exist
This website is full scam they don't base in uk at all
They don't post item
I ordered and didnt read the reviews - now wish I had as the wrong battery for my Acer 5735 was sent and I was not about to return battery untill they sent me a SAE for return. I have written to Tenfang Li in Singapore - no reply written to this site three times still no reply. I have paid through paypal £26 and have no battery for my laptop. I have re-sent the letter yet again threatening that this site should be removed from wherever it appears BEWARE do not buy a battery from here
UPDATE:
Just thought of updating on what happened next, well, the battery did arrive. However, I refused to accept my courier. Just like someone on this post has mentioned, luckily I had raised a dispute with PayPal much before the actual delivery of this item (i. E. when the courier came to deliver), mentioning dates, delivery timelines, why I will not accept it even if it is sent at a later date (I simply said that their website is mis-leading and I understood I was ordering from UK when I paid but I wasn't going to accept any cross border delivery). Paypal refunded within their set timelines.
--- Original review --
Horrible Experience. Was in a similar situation as most others have mentioned, I needed a battery replacement urgently and this seemed like a genuine UK based company. The only miss from my end was that I usually do a review prior to ordering but I didn't in this case.
Only to realize once the payment was gone that this is a cross-border transaction. Ordered on the 9th Feb and till date not a single email confirmation on whether the order is being processed. There is no way to call or contact them apart from email and hence have now raised a dispute through Paypal.
Feeling foolish and cheated! Like the rating states - Stay Away!
Avoid avoid avoid, not UK (discovered afterwards) gave them a chance then battery stopped working.
They promised to send FOC replacement but then nothing and no replies.
