i bought yesterday a new battery for my samsung galaxy q phone. since the old one would drain so fast already and battery itself looks bloated indicating that there is something wrong with it. anyway, when i get back home to charge the new battery , the phone would turn off by itself and won't charge. so i brought it back to the store. actually it was just an imitation and not the original battery i bought because i don't have money to buy the original battery. anyway, i was wondering if the store seller would gladly exchange it with working battery. so i am just relieved that the store owner just gladly accepted the battery i bought. he first looked if there is a defect on my phone to know it was indeed battery problem. so upon checking up, he looked for new battery. and now i can use the phone again. i have been using it for 2 hours for youtube streaming.

Hi hotsummer! i have bought class a batteries for my nokia before too and its quite alright to be used. i am glad that you were able to have it exchanged and that you were able to also use it now. Be sure to take care of your battery to prolong the life. =) How much did you buy the battery for?

it was quite expensive actually. it was for 350 pesos. i didn't haggle anymore. because i just wanted to use the phone right away so i just paid whatever they asked for. and immediately used the phone. but i just hope it would last now. i am enjoying using the phone now.

Its good that your battery was replaced but always try to go for the original one, its better and safer you can have a warranty and can be replaced if there is some issue before the warranty period.

yeah the original is indeed always better because we can just replace it as long as we have the receipt with us.
