Recommendations for a battery

Looking for an alternate to the Adafruit 3.7v 2500mAh battery as I'm from the UK and the postage is absurd. Does anyone from the UK know of a seller that will sell this battery for cheap UK delivery or an alternate battery that will still work with the Adafruit PowerBoost 1000c? Sorry if this doesn't make much sense or I'm missing something here very new to this whole Raspberry Pi scene, never actually used one before just saw Wermy's video and was interested.

update, make sure you check the polarity if you arent using a ada fruit battery, the connector may need to be swapped around

I don't have a recommendation of what to use but I will say do not get the ones that are shaped like AA batteries that have massively larger capacities as these may start off with a greater charge they quickly no longer hold a charge.

It's currently unavailable, but any 'credit card' sized rechargeable battery pack will have a LiPo in it. They shouldn't be more than ~$15 USD.
