I know many unscrupulous dealers have sold fake OEM phone batteries with disastrous results. LG and VZW don't sell the replacement battery.

Can anyone ID an ebay dealer (or other source) you are positive sells GENUINE LG V20 battery? I already have charger case so don't want the combo pack.

Thanks so much

My general experience in such matters is that the *only* place to get "genuine" replacement batteries is the original device manufacturer - LG, in this case, or their authorized reseller.

Did you check at LG Cell Phone Batteries: Wireless Charging & More | LG USA

Legit USA seller. I've checked and tested myself, these are 100% authentic LG batteries (compared them side by side and used them through a few cycles, fakes are easy to spot). Brand new and sealed batteries, came in same battery bag as the one originally shipped with your phone. Seller is an overstock liquidator. Only $12, battery was manufactured in 02.2017.

Look at this on eBay Original LG V20 Extra Standard Li-Ion 3200mAh Battery BL-44E1F Bulk Packaging | eBay

99.7% positive feedback with 5609 total feedback. Seller shipped the battery very quickly (shipped from the USA).

Damn! Although battery not listed in VZW they had one so I bought it. With my discount and taxes $31.50! My original VZW battery has no Chinese writing on it at all. English and Spanish.

Are you on VZW? Does your original battery look like mine or the one in ebay?

Return it and then buy 3x batteries on eBay lol
My original phone battery (haven't received new one) looks totally different. The one on ebay has Chinese writing. Are you VZW. Does your original battery look like mine or like the one in ebay?

Can any VZW user check their battery and let me know if yours looks like mine?

I already have the cradle.

All of my LG batteries look the same. It has Chinese writing on it. Verizon is notorious for customizing devices to their liking, so maybe that's why. But I can't really tell if that is a real battery or not, there's no manufacture date on it.

I don't know now. I did get a battery with the charging cradle (supposedly OEM). I'm not positive which is which.

Maybe a VZW user can help me out? Anybody got a battery that looks like mine? Mine only has English and Spanish writing. No Chinese symbols.

I did verify my OEM battery only in English and Spanish. The one I pictured above. You must have the international version of battery or Tmobile or ATT or Sprint.

My phone was the US unlocked version. And the battery kit with the cradle was the global version as well. Same thing just different languages displayed on the back I guess.

I actually get better battery life from the one that came with the cradle but it has had much less use.

I assume my original battery is the English/Spanish. The one from Amazon is Chinese but when I bought it, they listed as International version. I notice the moisture sensor is pure white also as opposed to white with xXxX.
