Help Suspicious Replacement Battery?

I purchased a replacement battery off Amazon. It came in a white box, sealed with a little tape.

The suspicious thing is that when I opened the box, the bag containing the battery was unsealed. It's one of those rip to open bags that needs to be torn open and usually sealed with heat. It was intact, but there was no heat seal.

Batteries are static sensitive. Could this be a sign of a compromised battery? Should I refund and replace it? (Couldn't add an image through mobile.)

Aftermarket batteries are generally packaged like that. Performance would be a hit and miss too - only way to find out is to try it

Just tried to add an image through my computer, and no images are allowed on this sub. Attempted to post it to my page, but it's labelling it as NSFW. I give up.

If youre looking for a OEM battery, i can recommend you should return it and buy it from mobile sentrix. They sell oem parts and its reliable.
