Cheap UK LP-E6 (Canon 6D Battery) Source?

[Fineus_]

Hi all,

I want to get a spare LP-E6 or LP-E6N battery as a spare for my Canon 6D, but everywhere I look they seem ludicrously expensive.

Does anyone have any suggestions for a cheap source in the UK?

I see there are cheaper third party (Hahnel etc.) alternatives... are they safe to use and reliable?

Some third party products are of good quality. When it comes to Li-Ion batteries for electronic devices I buy third party products in the US after reading reviews and customer feedback. This should apply to the UK too. Good luck!
