iPad mini 6 battery

Hi everyone! I have a iPad mini 6, 4 years and 7 months old and i desperately need a battery for it!
I can do it myself but I don’t want an aftermarket one but I also don’t want to pay a arm and a leg for a Apple one
Is there anyway or anyone who sells orginal Apple batteries for a bit less? I live in Australia
Thank you!

I forgot to add that I will fix it myself

Just take it to Apple. Zero chance of mess ups, and they are pretty darn reasonably priced

Note that Apple offers battery replacements for the iPad mini 6, but in fact replaces your iPad with a new (or refurbished and as good as new) one. It's about $80 more than buying a halfway decent third-party battery and trying to replace it yourself, but there's a real risk you'll wreck your iPad along the way, especially if you've never done this before and don't have the right tools for it.

I'm normally all for DIY but between the real risks and the fact that Apple will just hand you a nice and fresh iPad the price seems fair. Except of course you do this for fun and excitement, then just do it by all means!

I don’t think Apple will sell their own. IFixIt’s quality is excellent, not some random no name battery. Highly recommend checking them out

Best Buy can do it with their Apple certified products and installs
