Told him il have battery anyway thanks. He said fine we'll organize it ,let you know when we've got one ..

Email this morning , 2-5 WEEKS .

Honestly, why don't you just sell the thing and get yourself a brand new Moto G for one third of what you make on it?

What ******* eh! Charging you a whole £25 for a fitting a battery - that you probably don't need - and not doing it instantly, complete tossers.

There is something very peculiar about the charging cycles with this particular unit though .

youd almost swear it knows its not being plugged into apple authorized equipmen t , and punishing you for it . Dropped from 80 to 20 , to 1 percent this morning

It doesn't. Use that story in your quest of "getting one up ( back ) on them" it won't work but it will keep you busy.

Found out they were stopping your phone crashing, how irresponsible. Why did you park for 3 hours? Seems a bit mad, did you stand around the store looking MAD all that time?

Everyone I know who took advantage walked out with a pristine refurb. Maybe they were lucky.

Who can blame them, it's a quarter of the price to replace a consumable item. If I had one I'd have it changed too. Maybe they should have laid on a red carpet and a throne to make you happy.

Pack of 8 AA’s £2 at poundland.

Have a think about your statement, why would Apple replace that battery?
