Buy a Replacement Cell Phone Battery
It has become increasingly simple to purchase things online, and you usually get what you pay for. In the cell phone battery industry things aren’t that simple. It’s easier to find name brand knockoffs than it is to find a manufacturer’s original. Most online sellers specify NEW OEM batteries. When you receive your battery it won’t come in a sealed package. It might be bubble wrapped or sealed with plastic wrap (by hand). Usually sold for under $10, they only hold a charge for under 24 hours. Some of the batteries are used and resold as new. Some of the batteries are new, but only have about 1/5th the capacity of your original manufacturer’s battery. These batteries can damage your phone or even worse be hazardous to your health.
So how should you buy a replacement cell phone battery? Follow these steps for a simple solution.
Steps
- Make sure the battery comes in a sealed retail package.
- Read reviews about the seller and the batteries they have supplied.
- Don’t buy a $10 battery; you’ll get what you pay for (or less).
- Make sure the batteries have the manufacturer’s logo on them.
- Almost all batteries come with a 3D hologram. Make sure your batteries sticker is not a copy of a hologram.
