My experience is that if a battery is called "genuine", you have
to check very carefully to see that it is also described as
"new"/"unused" (which it is probably not).

The problem is what defines whether a battery is "genuine"?

Phone manufacturers source their batteries from various third-party
suppliers. Each of those suppliers probably sell their batteries via
different channels to any number of other customers.

So is a battery still "genuine" if it came from the same factory, but
didn't have a particular label on it?
