New Battery

[johnboros]

Where is the best place to buy an original replacement battery for the s5? There are plenty of sites but the quality varies widely. If you buy from Amazon you run the risk of a counterfeit battery of low quality. Would rather pay a little extra to get a worthy product.

B&H Photo, trusted online (and they have a superstore in NYC) has the real mccoy for like 20 bucks!

Thanks. Do you know from experience and is it an original Samsung battery?

NOT that item in particular, BUT I have purchased from B&H in the past and not been disappointed. They ain't Walmart, BUT they are a KNOWN reputable store.

I would implicitly trust shopandroid.com

I recently ordered 2 directly from Verizon for $30 each. https://forums.androidcentral.com/e...g-galaxy-s-5-standard-battery/&token=wY-MTHYr
More expensive than what you can find on Amazon and eBay, but they are definitely the real McCoy in retail packaging. The phones are like new again from battery-life standpoint. You do NOT need a Verizon account to order them.
