**Title:** Avoiding Battery Replacement Scams & The Need for Right to Repair
**Summary:**
* The market for third-party phone battery replacements is ripe with scams, exploiting the fact that most modern phones have internal, hard-to-access batteries.
* An experiment with "high-capacity" iPhone batteries revealed:
+ Grossly exaggerated capacity claims (up to 1250mAh less than advertised)
+ Poor packaging, putting the batteries at risk of combustion
+ Multiple spelling mistakes on the packaging, indicating a non-legitimate source
+ Underneath fake stickers, batteries were found to be old, used, or knockoff units
* Similar scams affect other phone brands, including Samsung and Sony.
* **Advice to avoid scams:**
1. Buy from well-known, reputable third-party brands.
2. Avoid marketplaces where sellers can remain anonymous.
3. Research the brand before purchasing.
4. If repaired by someone else, ask about the battery source.
* **The Push for Right to Repair:** Allowing consumers and third-party stores to purchase genuine parts directly from manufacturers could eradicate these scams.
