Stolen Battery?

[Alander2]

Guys,

Last week I took my iPhone 4 at an Apple authorized repair center for fixing my broken screen.
Everything is fine, except for the battery. Suddenly it´s lasting half the charge (less than 5 hours).
I´m afraid they´ve changed my original battery by an old one.
Is there any way I can find out if it is true? I mean, is there any serial number or ID in the battery that matches with the original device?

Thanks, best regards

I'd suspect the repair shop of using non-OEM replacement screens rather than stealing your battery. If the new screen draws more current than the original screen you would see a change in the battery discharge rate.

It's also possible that the shop was swapping more than one screen at a time and simply put the wrong battery back in accidentally.

I repair iPhones at a local shop and if I'm doing more than one thing at a time, it's possible to pick up the wrong battery. Give them a call and express your concern. Any good shop will make it right.

Thank you!

Of course is very possible they´ve made a mistake ... but again, is there any way I can identify if it´s my original battery?

No. You would be able to tell if it was a non-OEM battery by opening it up, but nothig ties a specific battery to a specific phone.
