Best/most reliable source of replacement batteries?

    There are a lot of non-OEM replacement batteries to be found on eBay and AliExpress, plenty of which are lemons. I've bought a couple of duds in the past, including ones skilfully masquerading as OEM originals.

    Have any of you fine posters hit upon a good source of after market batteries? I'm looking for a OnePlus 5 replacement battery, and I'd rather not put a spud into my pride and joy!

    Last time I bought a phone battery was a few year back.
    Bought from Amazon UK and reviews were very helpful in determining good quality/official/genuine batteries.
    May not ship to Ireland. Try AddressPal if so .

    even aliexpress has reviews now.

    will for sure be the cheapest option if you can wait.

    otherwise amazon where you can read reviews

    Not seeing a huge amount to go on in reviews for OnePlus 5 batteries on any of Ali, Amazon or eBay, unfortunately. The 5 isn't even out 2 years, so it's not a big surprise, probably relatively few enough owners have needed a new battery, if they did, warranty may have taken care of it.
