Reply to comment by dskatter in 3rd swollen battery by BoxterMaiti

I get what you are saying, but some “APPLE MADE” battery’s aren’t from Apple. You see, some batteries companies put a sticker on the battery so it looks original. People go out of their way to get one and they don’t know that it’s not an apple battery. You can even change the health of the battery if it’s damaged. So it’s better off buying a reliable 3 party battery than risk buying a battery that says it’s from Apple.

That’s a lot of words for “Have Apple replace your battery instead of having Rando McRanderson do it.”

I can’t afford apple to replace my battery for my phone and I don’t think they even have the battery for it anymore. So a 3rd party solution would be better and cheaper than apple. But if you’re giving to “Rando McRanderson” to reinstall the battery. You risk getting your phone damaged in general. I would recommend taking it to a professional repair shop or at least a reputable repair shop for this type of repair. The risk of damage is minimal and if something goes wrong with the phone after the repair was made and not there before, you can tell them about the problem and see if they did it. In OP’s case, he has to take it to a phone guru because I suspect his board is damaged and apple won’t do anything about it.

I’m willng to wager that OP would have saved money long-term with one Apple-done battery replacement than the multiple they’ve had.
