Where to buy authentic replacement batteries?

[gcliff23]

I'm having the hardest time trying to replace the batteries for my V20. So far I've bought 4 batteries from Amazon and New Egg that I was told were authentic V20 replacements. However they were most likely cheap Chinese knock offs since they can't hold a charge and last maybe a few hours tops. Hell, even one battery was a complete fake, when I turned my phone on it said invalid battery and the phone shut down! I even tried a third party battery and that didn't work out either.

So, where do you guys get a legit, real battery without paying $100 for the spare battery recharge kit? I've tried T-Mobile but they don't sell batteries, LG is out of stock and I signed up for alerts, but that was 2 months ago, and Batteries Plus doesn't have them in stock and there's no time line when they will be in stock at the two stores I've checked. Thanks for any help you can provide.

re:

I have had good luck with Zero Lemon, and Siedio 3rd party batteries in the past. Not sure if they make a battery for your device though. Is it possible its something else that is causing abnormal battery drain?

UPDATE: Looks like they have possible solutions for you if not actual batteries. Maybe time to upgrade to a V40?

re:

I brought a spare from LG direct. Pricey but I feel its worth it because I plan to keep my V20 a couple more years.

I bought a PowerBear from Amazon. Fast shipping and worked really well. Accubattery said it was at 100% expected capacity. Would highly recommend.

Can also buy it directly from PowerBear:

there is nothing great about oem batteries, way too small and all of them are old by now with reduced capacity.

get a zeroLemon battery

Couldn't agree more!

They rarely have them in stock but ARE worth it. All of the genuine batteries I have bought elsewhere are bogus.

If you are in The States try Batteries Plus. They have batteries that are new and warrantied for many smartphones, including the LG V20.

But are they genuine LG batteries with Google Pay capability?

I ended up going with Power Bear. Overall I'm happy with the battery life. Every now and then I'll get an app that goes rogue and burns through battery life. A quick phone reset usually takes care of that. I did go to a couple of battery plus stores but all of them said the same thing, no V20 batteries in stock and they are on backorder. Thanks to everyone for helping me out!

LG really screwed us on the batteries. Just farmed them out to lousy manufacturers

My last battery I purchased at lg.com. more expensive than cheap ebay batteries but genuine v20 battery.

I've had some LG batteries more than 2 years and they are losing life quicker now. I always carry an extra battery in my wallet. On some days where I know I will be unable to charge for 12 or more hours, I bring 2 extras with me. When I upgrade again, I'm going to miss the perk of not having to carry a charge cord or a battery charger with me.

I believe the V20 is the last cellphone with a replaceable battery.

I've purchased two 4100mah batteries from Perfine. (I have 2 V20's)

They are working better than the original oem batteries. Lasts way longer as well.

I forget what I paid but not much more than $20.00.

Perfine seems to have been pretty good the Battery I got from them. They had them in Standard, Large and Extra Large.
