Mobile Phone Battery

[davebro]

Does anyone know a RELIABLE source for replacement batteries?

I have a LG Nexus 5X & the battery is down to 61%. Would like to replace it but many suppliers get mixed reviews with some saying the replacement battery was even worse.

Suggestions welcome.

suppose if you go to a genuine mobile store that sells lg batteries you will get a proper replacement. not cheap though,

The problem with buying batteries for mobile devices, whether they be phone, tablets or laptops, is that most people only ever make one or two purchases from a particular supplier. So someone might be very unlucky and get duff products from a normally excellent source, resulting in a poor review. Conversely, someone who 'hits lucky' with a generally appalling vendor might give a glowing review.

If I was in your position though, I'd consider buying from this eBay seller: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/284373546908

NB: IGNORE the star ratings and product reviews on that page, as they're actually for what is meant to be the same product from other vendors but which might actually be for inferior stock.

Instead, look at the reviews for the vendor himself (rather than for the actual product) near to the top of the page. He's got 99.5% positive feedback from 2822 reviews. That would seem to me to suggest that he's 'legit' and doesn't knowingly sell rubbish products.
