OEM Battery Availability?

[recDNA]

I can't find a genuine new LG V20 battery anywhere. The ones on Amazon and Ebay I have found have reviews indicating fake copies. Anybody know where I can get a decent battery? I do not want an extended battery. Must fit existing slot properly. Many of the other brands do not.

Does LG not sell them directly? If not just more typical LG behavior.

I got a new battery and the charger for it on Amazon, $31 to me

I found the battery https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B06Y...ag=hawk-future-20&ascsubtag=UUacUvbUpU6212402

Thanks but lots of bad reviews on that one. All the fakes look real. I wonder if LG even continues to manufacture real ones?

Thanks again. It looks like you had to be just plain lucky to get a genuine one based on the reviews. I also bought the charger/battery set. Charger works but battery didn't last as long as the original one.

I got mine in December, and now I found it on Amazon for $55

Everything works like the original, I get about 8 hours from each battery

Please read the reviews. You got lucky
LG has it back is stock. Over $47 inc shipping

I'm looking to buy a spare battery too. $47.98 is nuts. I've kept my V20 as a spare home device to control my wifi lights and music. I've turned off as much as I can, but I can tell the battery is getting weak. But that price is crazy.

I guess I need to track down the supplier for LG, and try to find the knock off that buys from that manufacture.

Edit. nevermind, looks like LG manufactures batteries. Didn't know that. haha

$47 is alot less than a new phone .. and I already did the merry go round on crap batts that claim to be OEM back in the day from Sammy .

I ordered a BCK-5200 off ebay because it was new..but it had been opened prior so may send back and cough up the big dough and not be sorry ..gives me another 18 monthes to shop for next phone .

Since I upgraded to the V30, I'll put the V20 back up and up for sale on eBay

Getting a Zerolemon 10000mah is a good option. Though it may be a bit bulky for some.
