    My iPhone 4 battery is getting a bit old so I purchased a replacement from an Irish eBay seller. Battery came this morning and obviously wasn't an original Apple one - the covering was a bit wrinkly and the metal on the connector wasn't quite as shiny. Anyway I couldn't get the connector to click onto the mother board so rather than risk breaking the socket by using excessive force I reinstalled the original battery and returned the replacement for a refund. 

    Does anyone know a good battery supplier? I was thinking of paying a bit more and getting one from ifixit or might even go down the ridiculously overpriced Apple route!
