Dyson V6 Battery Replacement

Seems like my battery has died in my Dyson V6. Had it just over 2 years, so conveniently just out of warranty. Status LED flashes red on charge and if you try to use it.
I see there are plenty of replacements on Amazon etc, around £30.
Anyone had experience with changing theirs? I was expecting to have to buy the cells and re-solder them into the unit. But looks like you can get whole replacement units which just screw on. Wouldn't mind getting a higher capacity while I was at it. Any recommendations?

I haven't contacted them yet. I know one of my Dyson's (i have a normal upright too) was from their outlet, which is only one year warranty. Will check it's not this one first.

I've ordered one from eBay. Bit cheaper than Amazon. Went for the largest capacity I could find. 4000MAh. Current one had 2100MAh. Hoping for a good boost in performance / run time.

Official or 3rd party?

This seems awfully cheap?

3rd party. I bought one very similar to that, for about the same price.
Looks like theyre mostly from the same manufacturer.
