Replaced iphone 3gs Battery....Not Charging

britie

Hi

Replaced the rear casing unit with a new one which included a new battery on my phone on Thursday. The phone was put on charge and and charged to 45% but no further than that. The phone is no longer charging above 15%. The battery icon show the phone is pluged into the charger but it appears to retaining less and less power

Any ideas on how to rectify??

you were sold the wrong battery(3G battery)
happens all the time on ebay, alot of sellers don't know what they are selling:rolleyes:

Hi CathalDublin

How can I tell this by looking at the unit I was sold. Is there an identifying feature on the battery/unit to distinguish between the 3g and the 3gs

CathalDublin

there is an apn number on the battery, google the number and you should find out for sure, some of the really really cheap batteries have incorrect numbers on them too

Checked out the apn no's and they are identical....replaced new unit with old and it is back to normal....Time to complain to the supplier of the spare sparts...Many thanks!!
