OEM Cell Phone Batteries
OEM, short for Original Equipment Manufacturer, means that these batteries were made by the original producer of the product (for example Nokia, Samsung or Motorola). All batteries not made by the Original Equipment Manufacturer are considered „aftermarket“, meaning they are made by a second party.
Most people nowadays use cellular phones and prefer them over land lines. The primary advantage of a cell phone remains its portability. A mobile phone however is just of any use as long as its power source delivers energy. So to get most out of you cell phone, you need to get most out of your battery.

When talking of battery life, there are two main issues to be considered. The first is: how can you make your battery charge last longer? The second one is: how can you prolong the life of your battery overall?
Both of these points are directly connected to the quality of the power source you posses and this is why you should opt for OEM Cell Phone Batteries as they usually are of superior quality compared to aftermarket batteries.
First of all, if your old battery finished its life cycle and you need to purchase a new one, make sure that it IS really new. The major parts of the online resellers are selling used batteries and simply call them “new”.
As these resellers are just in for the quick buck this is relatively easy make out when you get the battery. It is normally simply wrapped in paper of bubble wrap. Be careful and make sure the battery arrives in an official retail package with a warranty as you for sure don’t want to replace your battery with somebody else’s old one.
So you should really stay with top–resellers or your phone manufacturers’ original website.
There was always a debate over OEM Cell Phone Batteries versus aftermarket products. If a second party can sell a mobile phone battery for less, why shouldn’t the cell phone owner take advantage of it?

The answers are simple, just think about why the company which sells aftermarket batteries can do that for less money. In order to do so they have to cut down their cost and will use lower quality, less durable and cheaper materials.
Also in most cases aftermarket battery producers are not obliged to apply the same quality controls as OEM Cell Phone Batteries manufacturers. In many cases even the production process is compromised.
Even if these batteries look the same and in the short term save you money they cost you more if you think long term as you have to replace them much sooner as they life cycle is much shorter.
So stick with OEM Cell Phone Batteries and stay mobile longer!
