In the life of every smartphone or mobile phone, there comes a time when it needs to be replaced battery on new In such a situation, every user is asked whether to choose an inexpensive analogue or an original battery. Now let's try to figure out which solution is best.
Price
This is, of course, one of the most important parameters that most users are guided by. In most cases, a non-original drive is twice or even several times cheaper than the original product. Naturally, the low price is very tempting, but is it worth going for it?
Safety issue
If you follow the news of the world of electronics, you have probably come across shocking stories when exploding smartphones injured their owners. There are also many notes about battery fires. In fact, a chemical energy store can really be dangerous if you don't follow the rules and recommendations for its use and disposal. This applies to absolutely all battery modules and there is no division into original or analog products. And even if it is iPhone battery, safety precautions should still be followed.
Of course, there are low-quality fakes on sale that do not fully meet the requirements for them, so such a "pirated" product can indeed be dangerous even when used correctly. Thus, it is worth buying batteries only from verified sellers.

Unfortunately, safety is not the only problem that arises when buying non-certified battery modules. Doubts can also be caused by power, that is, the figure declared by the manufacturer may not correspond to real indicators. Having bought, for example, a battery with a capacity of 2000 mAh, we can actually get an element with half the resource, that is, 1000 mAh. In this case, we can say that we get what we pay for.
How to distinguish an original battery from a replacement?
In fact, it is quite simple to detect a fake, and the first thing that attracts attention is the price. Let's not delude ourselves that we were lucky to find an original battery for pennies. Prices for original batteries are usually at least 15-20 dollars. The cost, of course, greatly depends on which smartphone or phone we buy the battery for and which company produced it.
Of course, when buying, let's check whether the manufacturer's markings are present on the battery. If you buy, for example, a battery for a Samsung or Nokia, then it should have the appropriate seal of the logo. In order not to make mistakes, you can compare the old battery with a potential purchase.
Are all analogues bad?
Of course, this is not so. There are many companies on the market that produce accessories for mobile phones of good quality. Similar spare parts are not inferior in their parameters to original batteries. When buying such a product, there is no need to worry about something going wrong. However, such copies are also not cheap and do not differ much in price from branded ones.
In general, the final verdict is quite simple when it comes to batteries, give preference to branded accessories, and not very cheap substitutes.
