    Hi,
    My Nexus 5 got water damaged at the start of the week and after some gentle loving it finally powered up last night. However it only does so when plugged in. The battery won't take a charge. Thus I'm guessing that the battery is knackered and I needed a new one, rather than something being fundamentally wrong with the charging circuitry.
    Thus where is the best place (store/online) to buy a replacement Nexus 5 battery. I'd prefer to get an original OEM part rather than any cheap alternatives.
    Thanks

    If you know anyone else with a nexus 5, swap with them, and see if the other battery will charge in the phone. Who knows, could be a charge board damaged or anything.

    Just a thought.

    But you should be able to get OEM parts from ebay.
