ebay Samsung Batteries

Anyone experience with eBay sourced "Samsung badged" batteries.. wondering if they are all fake?

Wife's S10e battery is very tired and whilst I am willing to change it, I'm concerned a "fake" battery will not improve matters

thanks... I've been Googling to look for non EBay stores that sell mobile parts... but none suitable yet

Swapped mine with a amazon battery and works great. Check reviews first.

Have a look at ReplaceBase. They sell on eBay and their own site. The Samsung badged batteries I've bought have been genuine. They also sell other brand replacements.

Plus they also sell genuine and copy case backs just in case it goes horribly wrong.

Could try a factory reset to see if battery time can improve or a new rom maybe if you dont want to mess about with new battery?

Bare in mind you'll likely lose the IP68 rating of the phone if you replace the battery yourself (if that's an issue).

ebay is clone central, i prefer to buy the honest copies that admit they are copies and have good reviews.

This. I’ve used replacebase numerous times. All excellent quality

Thanks guys.. all good helpful info.

Samsung themselves suggest full reset but I can tell Mrs is very reticent to do....
