Can anyone recommend a reliable dealer that maybe isn't double the price like newpower99?

I ordered somewhere else for about $20 and while the replacement battery is better than the old one, it seems to lack stamina (battery drains in a couple of weeks even with it turned off). As I understand it if the battery doesn’t get charged up every few months it won’t perform as new. I think this one just sat in its blister pack for a few years before I bought it.
But I bought my Kindle 1 used so I don’t know how the original battery performed.
newpower99 seems to have a good reputation; I would probably try them if and when I need a battery for my K1 or K3.
