Cell Phone Battery

You will find four different types of cell phone battery types on the market.

* Nickel Cadmium Batteries (NiCd)

* Nickel Metal Hydride Batteries (NiMH)

* Lithium Ion Batteries (Li-Ion)

* Lithium Polymer Battery (Li-Poly)

It is important that the battery you choose is compatible with your cell phone. This should always be the one recommended by the cell phone's manufacturer and is the best way to ensure that both battery and phone are operating at their optimum performance level.

Unfortunately, there have been incidents where cell phones exploded and caused injury due to overheating and poor quality batteries. Many inferior quality batteries are, in fact, fraudulent copies of brand name cell phone batteries. Companies such as Nokia, Samsung and Motorola are among the many brands that these cheap cell phone batteries have sought to copy.

The safest way to purchase a replacement cell phone battery is to do so through the manufacturer or an authorized dealer.
