Source in Canada for Genuine W-10a batteries?

[Hogwild]

Hi all:

I need a new battery for my MR1100. Does anyone know a source in Canada for genuine W-10a batteries? Netgear USA doesn't ship these to Canada, and if I were to use a reshipping service, the final price would climb very high.

Anyone?

Try eBay both US and Canadian, or AliExpress both have harder to find items if you search correctly.

Yes, thanks, I know. I've used eBay many times.

However, if I buy through them, I have no way of knowing if the battery is genuine (and therefore safe) or in what year it was made.

By the way: Does anyone know if the date code is on the battery, and how to interpret it, if so?

The price is usually a good indicator... like the old adage goes "You get what you pay for".
Sort the search by Highest to lowest and you'll be fine.

Anyone? Surely some company in Canada must sell these.

I ended up getting one via Amazon.com. They shipped to Canada. So far, the battery seems legitimate, though I haven't tested it.
