Default Replacing Battery With Warranty Claim

I'm planning on replacing my G1's battery because im charging it 3 times a day. It is still under warranty with T-Mobile, so can I just call them and ask for a replacement? Will I have to send mine back? Shipping costs?

not sure how it would work for you but a month after i bought my g1 (got mine the day it came out) i called up and complained that my battery wouldnt charge above 80%, they claimed it was due to dead cells and they sent me a new one and told me to keep the old one

first they asked me to do a wipe, and they asked me if it was expanding (the battery), after the wipe and the battery looking fine they just sent me a new one, had it 3 days later, after rc29 came out it fixed my issue with the battery not charging up and the battery started working properly again

just recently i replaced my g1 through insurance (water damange) and asurion told me i only had to send the phone back, not the charger and battery and door that they sent with the replacement phone

i then bought the extended battery to test out and see how well it worked, if youve kept tally, im up to 3 regular batteries, a extended battery, 2 stock battery doors, and a extended door, for next to nothing

its sad that the only way to get enough life out of a g1 is to bull**** tech support and have them send you batterys so that you can swap them out throughout the day...

however, it works lol
