This page contains a general description of the batteries we carry. To see the batteries available for your specific phone please return to the page with your phones make and model number.

OEM items are the items made by the manufacturer of your phone such as Audiovox, Motorola, Nokia, etc.

Our aftermarket products are chosen carefully to guarantee they will not damage your phone. These batteries use only quality cells from manufacturers such as Panasonic or Toshiba and meet or exceed all OEM Specs.

FAQ- Will aftermarket batteries provide the same amount of talk time as my OEM Battery?

A good aftermarket will provide the same amount of talk time per mAh (Miliamp Hour) the OEM batteries do. A cheaply made aftermarket battery will not. We have seen aftermarket batteries that provide only half the talk time of the OEM equivalent because of the cheap cells. Some manufacturers advertise large mAh batteries for very cheap prices. These batteries, while being larger in size, may provide as little as half the talk time per mAh the OEM batteries provide. Our batteries will provide equivalent or better talk time per mAh than the OEM equivalent!

There are a lot of products out there and we receive information from manufacturers on a daily basis trying to get us to sell their product. DiscountCell has been very careful in choosing only those products which meet or exceed the manufacturers specifications to provide our customers not only with a great price but with products which perform as promised and are backed by warranties serviced in the US.

Batteries-

All aftermarket batteries come with a 1 to 5 year warranty and meet or exceed all OEM spec.
OEM batteries come with a 90 day to 1 year warranty depending on the manufacturer.

Nickel Cadmium (NiCD) batteries are the oldest type of battery available. NiCD batteries weigh more than the other types but have the longest recharge cycle life if conditioned correctly. If NiCD batteries are not fully discharged before recharging, memory effect can build up, limiting the capacity of the battery to the point it was drained before recharging. Because of memory buildup, NiCD batteries should not be used with cigarette lighter adapters unless fully discharged.

Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries are the most common battery on the market. NiMH batteries are lighter than the NiCD batteries and cheaper than Lithium Ion batteries. NiMH batteries are memory free

Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) batteries are lightweight and long lasting. Li-Ion batteries are light, slim, and provide the better talk time than NiCD or NiMH batteries. The price drops in the last year make these the best choice of battery if available for your phone.

Lithium Polymer (Li-Poly) batteries are the newest, most popular type of batteries. Li-Poly batteries are ultra light, slim, and provide the longest available talk time. Li-Poly batteries are available for only a few phones but in our opinion are worth the cost if available.

Extended or Slim- Extended batteries provide longer talk and standby time than the slim units but are larger and heavier. Slim batteries are small and light but can provide as little as half the talk and standby time of the extended batteries.

Milliamp Hours (mAh)- The capacity of a battery is the total number of amperage or watt-hours that can be withdrawn from a full battery under specified discharge conditions. Battery capacity determines the amount of talk or standby time that your phone will have and is represented in milliamp hours.

Talk Time- While many companies publish talk and standby time specs on their pages, it is difficult to predict the amount of time a battery will provide. Talk and standby time are affected by a number of variables such as digital vrs analog use, cell phone., temperature, and humidity. We recommend you purchase the battery with the largest milliamp hours in the size you are looking for to provide the longest amount of talk and standby time.

We keep your device running with only authentic, top quality cell phone accessories. Buy with confidence knowing every item we offer is covered by our satisfaction guarantee and the manufacturers warranty.
