I need to get a couple of cell phones batteries to keep our present phones operational. Long story of no interest. Reupping contract and getting new phones not really in the cards at this time.

Tried an Amazon vendor, but what they sent were 6 year old batteries that would not charge. Not really a surprise from the feedback and I got a full refund, but was annoying as they did say "New OEM".

There is a local "Batteries Plus" that has what I guess is an aftermarket replacement rather than an LG for $30, but I wonder if there is an online source that anyone would recommend. I am not opposed to an aftermarket brand.

The phone is an LG VX8300. It takes a Li battery that is 1100 MaH marked LGI p-A1100E and "Sbpl0081901"

I see them all over the place, but I don't have any experience with any of the vendors. Just looking to see if I can do a bit better in price and maybe get an LG brand. It has held up well to 3 years of heavy use.

i have bought batteries on ebay and such . it is hit or miss as to the quality . i havent bought cell phone batteries from batteries plus but i have bought other batteries and they seem to give good service and they stand behind their products. your only other choice would be local cell phone store or somewhere like best buy , although BB prob. wont have a batt. for a 3 yr old phone.

If you are not buying from the manufacturer online, it is a damn good bet that you are getting either used/refurbished batteries or they are counterfeit.

Since you are in the Triad, try batteries plus (they have or had a store on battleground in Greensboro). They are supposed to be selling quality batteries and I have yet to go in looking for a battery they didn't have, including some crazy ass equipment testing batteries.
