    Quite expensive but oem & direct from LG

    I think mine was about €10 but to be honest i would have bought from spareslg but last time i checked they were out and tbh i forgot to recheck before bought. seems to be a lot of fakes out there so at least with them its 100%

    Yes. I would also hope that they are within their shelf life etc

    Age matters very little. Its use that degrade lithium cells not aging.

    Hey OP - How did you get on with this? I was going to post a thread about the exact same thing. Did it make much of a difference to battery life?

    From a quick reddit thread scan (https://www.reddit.com/r/Nexus5/comments/2nua7e/results_of_replacing_the_nexus_5_battery/) it seems people have mixed results changing their battery and suggest alternative things instead.

    Phone is a few days shy of three years old, so it's been recharged a lot of times by now.

    I changed mine with one from Amazon, i highly doubt it was OEM tbh but it didnt make much of a difference, it doesnt matter too much for me as i drive alot and my phone is charging in a cradle, but if i were you id try buy OEM where possible, it is an easy installation. Im hoping to go for the pixel 2 so this will just be my spare so ill stick with this battery.
