Recommendation for MacBook Air 11" battery

[Chips]

Hi anyone can recommend a place in singapore to buy Macbook Air 11" (2011 model) replacement battery. I want to try replacing it myself to reduce the cost. I understand to do it from Apple service centre will cost close to $400.

Hopefully to get OEM original battery instead of 3rd party 1

Hi, you can take a look at ifixit. But think you will also need the T5 Torx Screwdriver and MacBook Pro and Air 5-Point Pentalobe Screwdriver. (I plan to replace my MBA 13" battery as well) ...

thanks! seem like ifixit is cheaper than getting it on amazon. Amazon's battery price is about the same but shipping is quite high

chips. Once u done it, let me know the total damage n ur experience if it is easy to do so. Think I might want to change mine too

it is really easy to do it. basically just take out 8 screws, pop open the back cover, take out 4 screws and the battery connector then just put in the new battery and reverse all the steps. took me only like 5 mins to do it

Chips, how was the battery performance? Good or discharge quickly?

Battery also getting super lousy, despite having only 317 cycles since i bought this.
Mine's a mid 2011 MBA w 128Gb, 4Gb Ram.

Any suggestions on where to get battery replacement? Or even if its worth getting one already.
