The NFC chip is actually on the case of the battery, so it can be very close to the back plate of the phone.

Does this not pose a problem when buying a replacement battery? :/

Thanks for your reply

Why would it cause a problem don't you just buy another battery with NFC on the battery

If you don't need NFC on your phone can't you just buy a regular battery

Depends, I've seen some claims that these batteries just have an NFC aerial and not the actual chip.
