I've got a Motorola MOTO 3rd Gen phone works fine, does all i need of it
except at a few years old the battery doesn't last the working day

Before I go to try to change the battery can anyone recommend a supplier
of genuine Motorola batteries or a decent supplier of good quality
ones?.


TIA..

Funnily enough my Moto 5 started running the battery down quickly a week
or so ago. It has a "plug in" battery like a camera, I bought a genuine
replacement (at least, if it is a fake it is a good one) and that
behaves exactly the same way. So, did a factory reset and rebuilt it
with a small subset of apps, and that *seemed* to fix the problem, but
only for a day or so. This morning it reported an SD card error so I
took that out, and the predicted life was fine. Except that 8 hours
later it is at 15%.

More or less resigned to getting a replacement phone.
