I got a new battery for my Droid for $9.98, and my wife got one for her basic circa 2008 phone for I think under $9. They were "Lenmar" aftermarket and sold by Amazon themselves, not someone else just selling through Amazon. I ended up upgrading to a newer phone 10 months later, but she has been using the aftermarket battery for over 1.5 years.<br><br><hr id="zwchr"><div style="color:#000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;"><b>From: </b>"Chris Fowler" <cfowler@outpostsentinel.com><br><b>To: </b>transam@verysecurelinux.com, "Atlanta Linux Enthusiasts" <ale@ale.org><br><b>Sent: </b>Wednesday, October 8, 2014 3:41:58 PM<br><b>Subject: </b>Re: [ale] [Semi-ot rant] Why is obtaining a cell phone battery such a degrading experience?<br><br><div style="font-family: times new roman, new york, times, serif; font-size: 12pt; color: #000000"><div></div><div>I bought a new battery for my S4 last week.</div><div><br></div><div>I found one on Amazon.
