Does anybody know of a reputable seller of replacement Samsung batteries?
It seems there are a handful of people selling batteries for the S21+ but none of them advertise capacity.

I've contacted Samsung directly and they say they are not allowed to sell spares direct to the public.
I contacted wefix whom also said they will not sell direct to the public and I must pay them R1400 + to replace the battery.

I am quite capable of doing the repair myself, having done several in the past, however it just boggles my mind that I cant purchase replacement parts for my out of warranty device to repair myself.
 
After phoning a few repairers today, nobody is willing to sell me a battery for my phone and all insist on fitting it themselves and charging a fee for this.
 
It is a sorry state of affairs when it comes to batteries because you can’t order them from Amazon or eBay anymore so you have to just take whatever is available locally including what you have been faced with.
Wefix seem to do good work and R1400 isn't a bad price, what does Samsung charge for the job?

Wefix are Samsungs repairers.
Unfortunately I've had 1 too many bad experiences with wefix to trust them to work on any of my devices going forward.
Loose panel, screw left ion device and sealed so it rattled, 3 - 4 week turn around time.
Just isn't worth it to me.
