on going battery issues.

Hi there guys, gals and everything inbetween.

i work for a computer shop that does phones and tablets as an additional service.

have been repairing said devices for over 7 years now, so i would consider myself more than competent in this field.

i have a current dilema with iphone batteries.

i dont know if its the phones or the batteries that are the problem.

i have batteries from two different suppliers, 3 different models of iphone and similar faults on all 3.

faults are battery works for a few days then dies completely or while in standby discharges from 100% to 0% in under 6 hours.

we want to find another place to order batteries from but are concerned that they will just be the same batteries we already use.

Batteries are already the weakest link in the aftermarket industry. With the recent admission by Apple that they were throttling devices when the battery was weak, there has been a huge global demand for replacement batteries.

I suspect that that with this excessive demand, lower quality batteries are making their way through the supply chain where they otherwise wouldn't. You need to have a talk with your supplier and make sure they stand behind their products. iFixit has a great reputation when it comes to replacement batteries but shipping them can be an issue.

yeah we have found the shipping aspect to be a nightmare in the UK at least.

and what your saying about the batteries fits the current situation and would make perfect sense.

That makes complete sense. I've always found that the batteries in my devices are typically the first to go.
