My battery it's definitely dying, it's full charged and after 15min or less of light use (what's app or telegram messaging) it goes to less than 85% and it turns off immediately, without use it goes til 60% and turn off or goes from 100% to 0% in two hrs, when I try to power on it again it shows the battery full drain icon, if I wait one or tow minutes it runs on with ~10% less than when it turned off and after 5 second it power off again, repeating the same, so I'm convinced my battery it's almost dead.

I've been searching for a replacement but I don't want to buy a bad battery that might explode. I Have seen some generic options in internet (AliExpress, Amazon, Gearbest) with good reviews but I'm a little exceptical so I what your opinion or what battery do you recommend

If you can find a battery made in Japan or Korea, I've heard those are of higher quality than the ones made in China. (My knowledge and experience is very limited on this subject, mind you)
If you can find battery cells that will fit inside the phone, you might want to try and "make" your own battery.

Also, to my knowledge, a bad replacement battery would typically have lower capacity or something of that nature rather than explode in your face.

How much would a service centre or a reputable repair shop charge you for a new battery? They're more likely to sell you/fit a new battery that won't be faulty, and you'll have recourse if it does.
