Every car or smartphone owner sooner or later faces the need to replace a battery. However, many people notice that even a new battery purchased at a store often performs worse or has a shorter lifespan than the one that came with the device. Experts explain this by several important factors.
Firstly, the original battery installed by the manufacturer is perfectly adapted to a specific device or vehicle. It undergoes thorough testing, is compatible with all power systems and has precise characteristics for optimal operation. While analog batteries, even if certified, may have slight variations in the composition and quality of materials, which affects their durability.
Secondly, a factory-installed battery is stored and operated in ideal conditions. It is not subject to long-term storage in a warehouse or transportation, which can lead to partial degradation of the battery. In stores, new batteries can lie for months, losing capacity due to natural self-discharge.
In addition, many third-party manufacturers use cheaper materials and simplified production technologies to reduce the cost of production. As a result, their batteries may wear out faster, even if they initially seem high-quality. That is why experts recommend, if possible, choosing only original batteries from the manufacturer or proven brand counterparts.
