giddyup Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 I'm after a battery that fits a cheap mobile phone I bought from Lazada. I only use the phone as an audiobook as I now have an Oppo. All the local phone shops I've tried don't carry it, so need somewhere that carries a wide range of batteries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plus7 Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 (edited) Hi, Did they look inside the phone or checked what kind of battery it uses ? If not, do this work for them and bring them phone and battery (bought on Aliexpress or Lazada) to replace.

It's a no-name phone with a no-name battery. Edited September 2, 2022 by giddyup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because a battery might be only a hundred baht or so, but the cheap phone was around 1500 baht. Besides, the battery failed on the cheap phone after a few months. Do I want to spend 1500 baht for the same thing to happen again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Photoguy21 Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 Can you actually remove the battery without taking the phone to pieces? Years ago you could easily change it not they are an integral part of the circuitry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard 2020 Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 Just scan the "barcode" on the battery... There comes already a result ... GOLDPRO MobilPhone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leaver Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 Go into the settings of the phone. Look for "About" and post back what it says. Also, connect the phone to your WiFi network and then install the "Fing App" and run a scan. The brand of the phone may be displayed, along with its internal IP address. This information may give a starting point for some more online searching. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but could a Nokia be used perhaps. Photo appears a bit wider (terminals are at edge on Nokia). My Nokia is 6cm high and 3.8cm wide - if your battery is a bit wider suspect you could use the Nokia with a bit of foam/paper to keep contacts aligned. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expect any the same size or a bit smaller would work - as yours unmarked expect they did not want to take a chance. If a smartphone perhaps a Samsung?

Like I said, I only use it to listen to audiobooks, so if I have to bin it no great loss. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
