I have also bought an IPhone 32gs battery (APN 616-0434) form IFIXIT on May 05 2012 and after almost 4 month (September 1 2012) the phone could not power on nor recharge any more. I replaced the new battery with the old (original one) that was defective and the IPhone started to recharge again. The problem with the original battery that is now installed in my IPhone is that it could not keep the charge. It went form 100% to Zero in seconds…. Now, I will only be able to make a call while the phone is connected to an external battery… until I get a new Battery. But 4 Months is really very fast to a battery life. I would expected a year… Regards Marcelo
