I know that 100% of batteries are made in China, but I'd like to buy one from an European shop. I need a battery for a pretty old laptop (Lenovo Thinkpad W540) which works fantastically well with Linux.

So, any links are appreciated. Thanks!

Ebay works quite well for ThinkPads

And is an American platform as a bonus

Yeah, that's exactly why I'm asking in this community. I don't want American companies involved.

Ah, good point. Any Ebay alternative?
