New battery worked for 8 days, now won't boot
I used the iFixit kit to replace the battery in my iPhone 5. It worked great for 8 days. I did notice a small yellowish patch at the top of the screen, most visible on white backgrounds, but all worked fine. I let it discharge to dead, then plugged it in to charge. The Apple logo shows for a few seconds, then goes to black screen. I left it charging for several hours - same result. iTunes doesn't see it when connected to my iMac. Did I get a bad battery?
Is this a good question?

Ifixit sent replacement battery promptly. It's installed and working fine - pressed firmly on the top of the battery and no yellowish patch is visible. I'll be careful not to let it completely discharge.
