I've been looking for a replacement battery for my opo, but the service centers in Mumbai have got nothing since October 2016.
At this point, I'm willing to try out an unofficial battery, but still want to restrict to Amazon India and not AliExpress. Anyone had any good experiences with the ones on Amazon India?

I don't think any other battery can compete to OPO's original battery.You can see many people having issues(almost) with custom made batteries,independent of the Buying location.
I've tried some from eBay.in but they all are having one or another issues..same as other user reports.Literally there're several theads in this forum for battery issues after replacing.
If there're not much issues,stick to the original one and if it's much necessary then you can go with any one,but be ready to face issues and less Sots,irrelevant issues.

I've been wanting to pass on my OPO to my younger brother who's been using a N4. But I've abused the OPO's battery to the point that SOT would be around 3hrs at best.
Oh well. Guess that's it then.

Even after making many charge cycles on new battery,you'll only be able to reach around 4-4.5hrs but not more than that.
If my OPO's battery degrade like that,I'd better consider buying a new device.

My phone is around a two years old (I bought it after Amazon India took off invite system on the phone). But my initial year of usage was very heavy and reliant on frequent charging/discharging.
Amazon is always best.

Link to the battery?
Also, I would not believe all that is written on Amazon as under "warranty". I've purchased far too many Chinese products under "warranty", but when the warranty expires, you need to send in your product at your cost to some remote location for analysis. The 'analysis' usually ends with the manufacturer saying the damage was caused by user error and will ask for money as high as the product price for 'repairs'. This is considering you're lucky enough to find where the 'warranty' address is, most just won't answer the calls or provide any information.

I was reading all the post and no body says if already get a new battery replacement for the Nexus 5, I'm in the USA for vacation and I want to buy one battery for a future replacement. Please share your experience with us or say where can we buy a new one (OEM or equivalent)in a store or online. Thanks.
You will get the same type of original battery. And opening your nexus 5 may void warranty (LG services center "conditions apply" ). But for future replacement, I don't think anything will happened to this battery. LCD Screen (with digitizer assembly) should be your choice for future replacement.

Destroying your phone for an extra 300mAh doesn't seem reasonable to me, but to each their own.

It's generally not recommended to buy a battery for "future replacement" because the battery is always degrading even just sitting on your shelf. It's recommended to buy a replacement battery only when you require the replacement battery.

Oh I see, I guess ordering it online isn't really an option from your home country? I don't think there will be any retail store with OEM Nexus 5 batteries, I think you would need to get it from a website such as etradesupply or equivalent.

You are right, we don't have a retail store who sell OEM parts or an official LG service, so I have to buy it here. In Colombia you can buy original parts for the most popular cells in the country but the Nexus 5 isn't one of them because they (Google) don't sell it there. I have to import it
I bought my nexus 5 directly in the play store, I have to buy the battery for the D820 version, for the D821 version or it doesn't matter? Thanks to all.
They all have the same internal specs. The battery should be fine, just as the screens and anything else.

If you want to buy only 1, then LG service center (with warranty you get). If you want more in quantity then try that site.
cant you just buy one on eBay and have it posted to you when you need a replacement? as someone said earlier if you buy a replacement now but don't use it for a year it will not be as good as a new battery
There are a lot of fake batteries on eBay so buyer beware.

I had a chat with LG and they asked me to send my phone to their service center in Texas... I wasn't able to ask for the price because the chat was cut off... nvm... I just bought a new Galaxy S4 again as a backup phone.
Best bet, for my money: https://lg.encompass.com/item/10389517/LG/EAC62078701/Rechargeable_Battery,lithium_Polymer. Originally posted here, Post 175.
I haven't decided to replace mine, yet. Fortunately, I can charge often and carry a power bank.
I bought the Polarcell 2450 mAh on the bay, for 23€
Battery life is now simply amazing.
Charging time is a little bit long (I don't enable the fast charge kernel option that scr#wed my previous original battery)
I couldn't reccomend it more. I can do a whole day with intense use.
Of course I use greenify, and tweak some CPU/voltage options
I use PureNexus ROM

Copy the code on the battery. And search on google for the battery
I just found one for £10 on ebay. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Wileyfox-...868658?hash=item3ac37d3ff2:g:TPAAAOSwubRXHoyG
These all use the same battery, so maybe you have any luck finding replacements for them i found some for the i-mobile iQ II 8150 on e-bay
- CM-11D (for Cherry Mobile G1 H220)
- AJZH53Y1529 (for General Mobile 4G / 4G Dual GM-113)
- BL-267 (for i-mobile iQ II 8150)
- SWB0115 (for Wileyfox Swift)
Looking at their webpage, they've added official replacement batteries marked with "Register your interest". If they manage to get them out in the next couple of months, I'll be pretty happy.
https://www.wileyfox.com/accessories/
And now the battery is for sale on their website.
I looked at Wileyfox's in the end of november for the batterys, these where "out of stock", i told them that i was interested in these
I waited 4 weeks, then i bought the batterys at AliExpress:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/3-8...1a91-4331-a6bb-89bbc34c17a8&priceBeautifyAB=4
At 21.01.2018 i got am Mail from Wileyfox, that the batterys are available..
Some days later, after four weeks, i got the batterys for AliExpress. Should be manufactured at 30.11.2017.
https://www.wileyfox.com/en/accessories/swift-mobile-phone-spare-battery/
In the past week Wileyfox e-mailed 2 notifications that they're in stock, both times they were sold out within hours. I trust the originals better over the no-name battery, so i'll try to order the next round.
Will order this one and report back
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Battery-WILEYFOX-SWIFT-2500mAh-Replacement-internal-battery-/222652712834
Just to let you know, Wileyfox official site offers official batteries for sale again ! I've just ordered one to see if it's worth the buy (It's really expensive with shipping costs, 38 € for France). I'll let you know about the quality after a few tests. I'm a bit worried because photos on the website shows front with no S/N, which led me to think it's only shi*** Chinese battery, which I've already bought for 10 €. Even for this low price, it was really a bad deal because the battery self-discharges in only a few minutes from 100 to 70 %, without using the phone. After that it has a quite short range, and eventually the phone will turn off during use under 30 %...I hope the "official" battery can't get any worse !
And here is the battery, all I can say for the moment is that the delivery is quick !
https://photos.app.goo.gl/aA1LvTNDnLuHCXv3A
Luckily, it seems to be an official one (same weight and size as my original one), but he manufacturing date is 2015/12/17, so it's the original batch - a bit old isn't it ?
I'll give it a test for a few days and will report back.

It's either remaining stock from the first production run or even likely to be recycled from a phone returned under warranty. WF binned the Swift even before being taken over by STK and have done their best to wash their hands of their original customers.
:crying:
Replacement batteries have long been a source of contention for Swift owners in particular. We badgered WF about this for well over a year and in the end they just sent us one gratis...
Anyone satisfied with a G4 battery purchase in Europe?
Been reading the battery threads here in xda, seems you can get some good batteries but only in the US.
Getting a non fake battery is not as easy as it seems, so, is there anyone who got a good battery (via e-shopping, eBay preferably) in Europe? By good I mean either true original or performing at least like the stock one.

Yes, your thread is well known, but there's one more thing I should have mentioned: I have the black leather back which I love and don't want to change.
So that rules out most of the batteries in that thread since they need custom covers.
The few that are labeled slim do not ship to Europe (links from the 1st post, don't know if there's more links later in the thread which is quite big)
Thanks anyway.

Hmm sad they don't ship there. How much you think it'd cost to ship?
A few cases I've seen with batteries that are already available in both Europe and US (mostly fake ones typically marked as original in bulk form) the shipping varies from $10 onwards.
Maybe I would pay that shipping cost for a battery like the TQTHL for which many say is very good, but the problem is noone ships to Europe.

Wow thanks man, but what if the battery is problematic or something? I mean, I would have to send it back to you, effectively paying shipping back and forth, which would probably cost me more than the battery itself, and that is IF you would invest the time in such a situation.
For now I just thank you for your gesture. I will search a bit more, and if I find nothing promising maybe I'll ask you if you would still do it. In any case thank you!

Seems to be original, if you need it.
Yes it seems so (as one reviewer also says), but reviews after some time after purchase would be good. The net is full of 'original' batteries and people reviewing them the day they bought them, yet I still strive to find a battery I won't be returning as totally useless even for other phones of mine.
I am starting to think it's some kind of worldwide quality cells shortage ?
Try Polarcell battery on ebay.de from Wannsee-Electronic GmbH !
Using it for 3 months getting maybe 10% more juice from it .

It's not the origin, it's the destination. What good is a battery that the seller won't ship to the potential buyer's country?
Thanks for the feedback.
How long have you been using this battery? Does it last the same as the original when it was new ?
Sent from my LG-H815 using Tapatalk
I have managed to get a hold of the original 2014 batteries and I am planning to order a one piece for myself, this will be straight from Hong Kong and I live in the US so shipping for a battery is super expensive at 60USD. I can order extras and the price of shipping wont change, if we can get more it will be cheaper but for now I will charge $25 for a battery plus shipping (only to US address), I plan to place the order in the next week or so. Please let me know as soon as possible for those interested.

OnePlus doesn't sell batteries. They only replace batteries.
Ergo, OP doesn't have original batteries unless he took them from old OnePlus One's or he is a OnePlus employee.

Sorry for the late reply, been under the weather for the last 2 weeks. Here is the link, as far as authenticity goes it is by the website itself. They seemed to have managed to get hold of the original batteries or from the original supplier. You can see the 1+ logo has been blurred out, I believe it is for legal purposes. So far no1 has pmed me thats why I have not checked back here.

Hmm. The link spams you with crapware. If the battery are from 2014 then they are 4 years old anyway. This means that even Lithium ion battery will discharge after this period. You may have joy, but the ions will suffer from degradation through decay.
