Folks, battery on my samsung xcover is dying a slow painfull death and needs replacement. Have tried google, but from what I've found; there appears to be no where you can buy replacement batteries except on-line.

Don't really want to go to the expense of getting a new phone, as bar battery life the phone does all I require. Is there anywhere in the greater Dublin area where I could buy a new battery.

Could go down the amazon route but I prefer to give business to local shops. I recently went PAYG with Tesco, so no upgrades in my future.

The phone is nearly two years old and when fully charged drops straight away to 60%+-10%. I hope it is a battery issue and not the phone saying cheapskate buy a new one.

So at best somewhere to buy a new battery and tickety-boo another 18 months from phone or at worst break the seal on my wife's piggy bank and buy a new one.
