I've gotten two replacement batteries this year. I find that there is no need to install them at all, I just get the vendor to install a new phone around them. Surprisingly they don't charge any installation fee at all for installing a new phone around a replacement battery and no charge at all on the invoice for the battery, so it's free. Whereas people (especially some Apple users) are always complaining that they get charged too much to have a replacement battery installed into an old phone.

In April I drowned my battery in the sea, it was a nice battery but the phone that was installed around it was a bit so-so. I got a battery to replace the drowned one and the vendor very kindly installed a new phone around it for me, no charge on the invoice for the battery.

Then in October I gave that battery away (it was a very nice battery, I just wanted to try a different battery and after all batteries are free). So I got my second replacement battery this year and the vendor again very kindly installed a new phone around it with no charge on the invoice for the battery, so free again. That free battery is going very nicely too thank you.
