Cheap Cellphone Batteries

By: Jet Lee

I bought a Smart phone last year. I love the sleek appeal cellphone. It’s a remarkably good sized phone. Any larger and it just wouldn’t feel right in my hands. I also love all of the features that the phone has to offer. It has crystal-clear call quality and the battery life is great. It lasts for 3 days if I use it less than 20 minutes otherwise the talktime is a good 3 hours. The only problem is the longevity of the battery itself!

The battery has now become swollen in the middle and no longer holds itscharge for any longer than 15 minutes of talk time. Of course, this has occurred about 2 months after the warranty expired on the battery. Of course, that’s how it always happens – whether it’s a cellphone battery or a pet camel, the warranty is designed to run out a few months before the useful life of the product!

Anyway, I went to my local cellphone service provider retail store and they informed me that I was out of luck and I’d have to buy a new battery. Great, just what I needed to hear! The usual story about the warranty having expired and a typical life of a cellphone battery being only 12-15 months anyway. So they quoted me $40 for a new battery (plus sales tax), but since I was some sort of rewards or whatever member, I was eligible to a 25% discount. So it would work out to only $30. Nice, but no thanks.

At least they were a good 40% discount off the price of batteries just 2 short years earlier! I guess the phone companies figured out that you can’t keep charging people more for a battery than the cost of the entire phone!

Before I went to the store, I had checked out the prices online and I saw that they were selling from anywhere between $1.01 and $14.99 dollars! Plus $4.99 for shipping and handling. This was a immense discount from the retail price quoted to me at the service providers store. Paying $6.00 for a $30 battery is a whopping 80% discount! Now that’s some reasonable discount (unlike in malls, where they jack up the price 400% and then give you a 50% discount!). I can buy stuff at an 80% discount all day long if I can!

Not only was it right priced, but they had every imaginable brand and model of battery made for my particular cellphone. If you wanted the no-frills battery, you could go with the cheapest. However, if you’re a super-user, or should I say power talker, and your mandibles are strong enough to bite through metal, then you’ll probably prefer the luxury model battery that has extended talk-time. Mind you, this so-called premium battery has twice the life of the store recommended battery and only costs half as much! At that rate, you could buy a cellphone battery and a car charger for the same price as the retail battery. Hallelujah! I think I found my preferred method of buying cheap and discounted batteries!

Not only that, but they also carried batteries for PDAs, iPods and a variety of other mp3 players too! Is my life set or what! Goodbye to costly battery replacement costs. Or should I say “Goodbuy”.
