Sourcing a camera battery online

I've been asked to buy a replacement battery for a relative's camera, it's a Sony Lithium Ion NP-BN battery. I thought Amazon would be the easiest option (I don't use ebay) but when I get on to the Amazon page I get a long list of batteries and chargers and all manner of shit I'm not interested in.

If I look at the Sony website it wants £34, whereas Amazon is about £11 or £12 or thereabouts.

Help, dear MNers, can you find me a place to buy the genuine article safely without the need to have a word with my bank manager?

we Lost the charger for our canon camera. I wasn’t bothered about buying an original replacement. I just went on Amazon and got a charger with extra battery that had a good number of reviews. It works perfectly and was good value.

Thank you for replying @ErnestTheBavarian . I eventually found what I was looking for. Why I didn't see it before I don't know.

I’ve grabbed camera batteries from smaller specialist sites before, especially ones that also stock things like an lr1130 battery equivalent, and they’ve been spot on for genuine parts. If Amazon looks a bit hit and miss, those places usually list the exact Sony NP-BN models with clear compatibility notes and quick delivery, which takes the guesswork out of it.
