Replacement nexus 4 batteries not made in china?

[amddude]

Doing a repair on one and I want to replace the battery but it looks like all the ones I can find on ebay and amazon are made in china. Those are usually crap in my experience.

Any ideas where I can find a korean one?

I opened 4 nexus 4 and never saw one that said made in korea, even if the phones were.

Same here made in China.

It isn't the country of origin, it is who made the battery.

Ok cool, good enough. Thanks for the help.

I would just look for anything that specifies it is genuine OEM and matches the OEM part number. I'm not a fan of generic aftermarket batteries; you may get lucky, but you could also get a crappy runtime or worst case an un-safe battery. (Think about how much actual energy is stored in a lithium ion battery and then tell me if you want to risk it being unsafe)

It looks like Anker doesn't make a replacement battery for the Nexus 4, but they typically have quality aftermarket replacements for batteries and power supplies (i.e. for laptops).
