Base sa personal na experience at mga kwento ng ibang Pinoy users:

• Ang fake battery mabilis mag-drain (parang 100% → 20% in 20 minutes).

• Puwedeng mag-init sobra at magdulot ng damage sa motherboard.

• Wala kang warranty, kaya sayang ang pera kapag sira agad.

Ako mismo naka-order ng battery na “compatible daw” pero after 2 weeks, ayaw na mag-charge. Doon ko narealize — dapat talaga marunong mag-spot ng fake.

Check Seller Profile

• Dapat Shopee Mall or LazMall ang store kapag posible.

• Kung marketplace seller lang, dapat may 4.5 stars pataas at maraming reviews.

Basahin ang Product Reviews

• Legit batteries madalas may customer-uploaded photos.

• Fake batteries kadalasan may comments na “nag-overheat,” “hindi compatible,” o “battery not detected.”

Compare Price Range

• Original batteries: ₱2,500 – ₱5,000.

• Fake/Generic: ₱900 – ₱1,500.

• Kung sobrang mura, red flag na agad.

Packaging and Labels

• Original may hologram, barcode, or serial number.

• Fake madalas plain box lang or plastic wrap.

Product Description

• Legit sellers provide exact model compatibility (ex: ASUS A32-K55).

• Fake listings generic lang: “fits most ASUS/HP/Lenovo.”

Warranty Policy

• Original sellers offer 3–12 months warranty.

• Fake sellers: “no return, no warranty.”

Customer Service

• Legit sellers responsive sa inquiries.

• Fake sellers halos walang reply or auto-response lang.

Red Flags to Watch Out For

• “Brand new replacement” pero walang brand name.

• Seller may multiple accounts with same products.

• Freebies na hindi related (e.g., kasamang mouse pad) — pang-attract lang.

Safe Buyer Practices

• Always use Cash on Delivery (COD) kung hindi ka sure.

• I-record unboxing video para may proof kung fake.

• Huwag agad bumili sa too good to be true promos.

Original Battery

• May brand logo (ASUS, Dell, HP, Lenovo).

• Consistent performance, 3–6 hours usage.

• May warranty at support from service center.

Fake Battery

• Walang malinaw na branding.

• Mabilis uminit at mabilis ma-drain.

• Walang warranty, risky gamitin sa long term.

Scenario 1: Bumili ka ng fake (₱1,200)

• After 3 months, sira ulit → total gastos ₱2,400.

• Risk na masira ang motherboard (₱8k – ₱15k repair).

Scenario 2: Bumili ka ng original (₱3,500)

• Lasts 2–3 years.

• Safe, may warranty.

Clearly, mas mahal upfront ang original, pero mas sulit in the long run.
