I've got a rather elderly Motorola which is a superb phone for what i

Can anyone recommend a battery seller who supplies decent reliable long

surely at that price the quality must suffer?, don't mind paying more
for a decent product its a MOTO G3 type number XT1541

TIA!..

Are you sure that the battery is replacable on that model?

Earlier fat models of phones tended to have replaceable batteries that
sometimes came separated from the phone or fitted but with insulation
over their terminals which had to be removed before use.

Modern thin ones tend to be hot glued together on a once and forever
basis. Though they can be dismantled it is an interesting procedure
typically involving a hot air blower and a sharpened paint scraper.
