    Default Replacing battery on iPhone 5

    One of my colleagues gave me their old iPhone 5 when their 6 came in. It's mint condition, boxed etc so was pretty happy with it.

    Problem is the battery life, it's two years old and the battery is starting to suffer. Seems straight forward to replace but I'm not sure where to buy a decent replacement - a cheap number on eBay I guess could be just as bad as the worn out genuine?

    Any thoughts on where to buy a decent quality battery for the 5?

    Thanks for sharing, have you used one of these batteries?

    I'm happy to buy if it works, but thought I'd have to pay more.
