> HELP: Is this battery fake?
Bookmark topic
I've just bought a Sony Ericsson BST-37 from a UK seller on eBay. However, I think the battery is fake. My main concern is the battery exploding inside my phone or something.
The original is on the left and the one I bought is on the right. First thing I noticed was the original appeared to have a steel casing but the one I bought has a silver sticker which goes all the way round. Also the batteries are different shapes - the original having rounded edges and the the new square edges. Also the original says "Made in China. Finished in China" the new one says "Made in Korea. Finished in China"
Many thank for your help!

i think that the right side one is from a different phone. but both seem original to me (the right one is been hit).

se saved some costs with it imo, cos the design of the "second ecition" is far cheaper

Both are official, my phone came with the first one and I later purchased a spare battery which is like the second one in your picture. I must say that it was purchased from a SE authorised dealer.
