So it seems that the battery of the used iPhone 11 which I bought a few months ago died and now is in need of a replacement. Last I checked which was only 2-3 days ago the BH% was at 85% (was 92% when it was bought in April). Where can I find a "good third-party" battery for it?

Something which I learnt from this, original battery with low BH% is better than poor quality new battery with more BH%.

I say battery might be the issue because the local service center said the charging doesn't go through.
 
I tried many sites, but all came with unstable results. Sometimes I am able to get good battery and other times it is not, even from the same vendor.

So my advice is don't buy the battery yourself, get it replaced from some third party shop, at least you will be able to tell him that battery is not working as expected.

Recently I discovered this guy on insta, seems to be legit, you can send him your phone he will replace it and send it back to you.

Why not change it via apple?
 
Third party batteries are a hit or miss even from the same provider. I think they source from multiple suppliers so you are not guaranteed to get a "good" unit.

Some members have had better luck with third party batteries purchased in US or EU. They seemed to be of higher quality. You can try your luck if a relative or friend from abroad is visiting.

A word of warning, you will lose the IP rating once the phone is opened by a third party shop.

AFAIK Apple service centers are the only place within India where you are guaranteed to get a quality battery replacement and preserve the water resistance to a reasonable extent. I heard that they change some other stuff including the seals to accomplish this.

It's nothing just an adhesive sealing gasket around the border, it's widely available in the third party shops, but yes they can choose to skip it if they are in a hurry, because it takes sometime to remove the old one properly, only then the new one will fit nicely.

Oh I was worried because I read that some models need other parts to be replaced to preserve the seal. For example the speaker.

Here is a Reddit comment taking about this. So I was always worried about doing third party battery replacements or buying used iPhones whose batteries were heavily degraded as repairing it meant losing water resistance. If that's not the case for recent models, that's great news. Can someone confirm this?

Was the first thought I had but too expensive and will not be worth the total cost anymore. Already invested too much. Max budget would be no more than 2k and with warranty no questions asked.

Yes as I've learnt it the hard way. This was also supposedly a "good quality" one. Definitely not buying an iPhone with third-party battery again. Not worth it unless it's a lower model.
 
If you want tension free experience then go with apple trust me,the third party batteries aren't worth and wouldn't give backup and die again in few weeks.
 
Please share feedback and review of the shop/guy if you get it replaced from some local place, i am also looking to get my SE2's battery replaced. The current battery health is 75% from the last year and i think it's the minimum value that is shown on battery page of iOS.
