Why We Recommend Using Original Phone Batteries

The phone battery life may decrease with time, prompting some users to replace the battery at local repair shops or purchase batteries from e-commerce platforms to replace them themselves. However, non-original batteries can affect the phone's performance and lifespan.... For that reason, we recommend using an original battery for your phone.

Here's a case:

Mr. Wang purchased a phone for AED 4,057 and then replaced the battery for AED 100 through an unofficial channel, falsely claiming to be “original”.
Unfortunately, after some time, the phone failed to turn on and the battery started leaking, resulting in the phone not working. Then Mr. Wang consulted an HONOR engineer, learning that a new original battery would only cost around AED 91.

These so-called "original batteries" have led to consequences:

1. Insecurity

The official original battery undergoes strict quality control processes and must meet multiple quality certifications. These certifications include tests for over temperature and external short circuits protection, overcharge protection, low air pressure, dropping, acceleration impact, extrusion, heavy impact, high-temperature environments (thermal abuse), combustion injection, and other rigorous standards.

2. Not Turn on

A fake battery may cause a variety of issues. One such issue is that your phone may not turn on, even if you try to force it to start by using special technical means. This is because fake batteries cannot be bound to the motherboard and may cause high internal resistance, serious overheating, unstable discharge, and damage to the motherboard. As a result, your phone may become prone to frequent crashes and restarts, making it difficult to use.

To ensure authenticity and security, each battery comes with an anti-counterfeiting IC and motherboard binding to safeguard against any potential tampering. When you put in a new battery for the first time, the motherboard will perform an IC key verification and store the IC in the motherboard to establish a binding relationship with the battery. This process allows a worry-free use experience.

3. Short lifespan

It's worth noting that fake batteries are often made with low-quality raw materials not up to standard. As a result, these batteries tend to have shorter lifespans and fewer rechargeable cycles, and they age more quickly. You may have to replace the battery sooner than expected, resulting in higher costs in the long run.

•Screen compression:
Improper operation during disassembly and assembly may cause the screen to be accidentally scratched or damaged.

•Battery extrusion deformation:
Batteries are delicate and can be easily damaged if squeezed or pushed too hard. This can lead to a short circuit which can be dangerous and pose a risk to your safety.
