Replacement Battery for Moto G 2nd Gen - Source?

Harold.Finch

My wife and I both have a Moto G 2nd Gen phone each. As we are no longer 'whiz kids' they suit us just fine. Both phones are about the same age, Roughly 18 to 20 months old.

I believe we are starting to see signs of the batteries ageing, as both, but especially my wife's, are not lasting as long as they used to do.

I am considering replacing the batteries, something I am technically competent to do and have the required tools. There are lots of batteries (ED30) advertised on Ebay but experience has taught me that many are likely to be fakes and of poor quality.

Just wonder if anyone can suggest a decent seller or source? I don't think the phone's age justifies paying the full Motorola price but a decent 3rd party item would be worth it.

Anyone have any experience?

I didn`t think Anker did a battery of this type.

I think they mean, use an external battery pack to top up rather than messing with the phone itself.


Something like this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Anker-Astro-E1-Portable-Technology/dp/B00P8SY7HQ/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1465308560&sr=1-2&keywords=anker

Thank you for this Browntoa, very helpful.

I am looking to replace the internal battery. Using an external power pack/charger, Anker or otherwise, does not suit the way we use our phones.
