What replacement battery would you recommend for HTC Universal

[kinkybookworm]

Hi All,

Firstly, this is my first post, so please be gentle with me. (correction, I mean the first thread i have started)

I scoured the forum and have found lots of comments on the ilk of "my battery has failed at x%", but no-one seems to have made any comments on a replacement battery that they recommend or a web link that you could use to purchase one.

So, of you guys and girls that have bought a replacement, can you please give us the benefit of your experience regarding what you feel is great or what to avoid like the plague?

Thanks one and all!

James

Always buying the original battery is my recommendation
There is a member called Duke Nukem, he sells the originals and he´s reliable

I bought my battery from eBay - the cheapest one I could find. It works ok, but not as good as the original. I think others have had bad experiences and it seems really hit and miss on eBay, so I would only go on recommendation from someone else. The original was so expensive, I really couldn't justify spending that much!

I think you mean this is the first thread you have opened:) I've seen you about. That name of yours kind of sticks in the memory. (Dont explain. we dont want to know:D)

I got a new battery off a UK seller on Ebay 7-8 weeks ago for £5 plus P&P. He said it was genuine and it looked like the genuine article. It shorted out after 4 weeks but he sent me another. so far so good. What do you get for under a tenner?
