Where are you getting your generic camera batteries these days?

Aliexpress seem to take a couple of months. Anywhere else that delivers generic good value batteries?

I usually only use genuine batteries in my main cameras, but I’ve had good success using batteries from Duracell Direct for older cameras where you can’t get OEM batteries any more, or it’s just not worth the extra expense

Typical, they have the charger but not the battery. It's really el-cheapos that I want as urgent backups so might just put up with Aliexpress and play the waiting game.
