You get what you pay for with cell phone batteries. I can almost guarantee
you a $1 battery, probably with $10 shipping, is a Chinese counterfeit and
won't work. Or will only work a little before it explodes.

Hi all,


No, really no vanagon content at all.  TGIF.


I need a new cellphone battery. Looked on the web at the options, and they
seem to range in price from $1 to $80.  The high end being for OEM purchased
from Samsung or Verizon or something, $1 being for non-OEM purchased off the
web. There are also OEM batteries on the web for around $30, and non-OEM for
up to $15 or so.


Is there reason to buy OEM batteries?  Why are the super cheap ones so
cheap, should I assume something is wrong with them?


Can anyone recommend a reliable vendor of good-quality inexpensive cellphone
batteries?


Thanks!








Joy
