Cellphone battery

[StarPhoenix]

I have had to recharge my Samsung E860V [it is nearly 5 years old] more often lately and
suspect that it battery may be on its last legs.

Do you perhaps know of any online retailers who sell cellphone batteries?
I would like to find out how much a new battery is going to cost so as to decide whether
to buy a new Lithium Ion battery or a new, cheap cellphone.

Thank you

try getting in touch with expansys.co.za to see if they can help source it, as i see they dont stock it!

otherwise, give me a shout if you dont come right, i will get you a price on a generic and if possible, an original battery!

Unfortunately I cannot buy from Expansys as they only accept credit cart payment.
If it costs more than R100 or so, I'll get myself a R99 Nokia 1200 from CNA.

you might as well buy a new phone then
at least then you know the phone will last a while too, and the battery is also new!
