I have an old iPhone SE 2 2020 model that I want to use as a backup phone, but the battery is about 70% and makes the phone unusable as it regularly crashes. It has little value and not worth the amount that apple wants to charge for a battery replacement. I have changed batteries on phones before, but as Apple don't sell original batteries to the public, does anyone have any recommendations on a good quality battery to buy? I have come across a range of replacement 3rd party batteries, but I don't know how good they are. This ones seems ok, but hard to know https://www.mightyape.co.nz/mn/buy/igadget-iphone-se-2020-battery-replacement-2nd-gen-premium-quality-37543135084736/

Wow. For $18 I'd give it a go and get a refund if it's not good

I've never found a non genuine battery replacement that is any good. All of them have turned out just as dead as my old battery, some were even worse. Couple of them swelled up within a week.

 

All the best.
