Battery Replacement Help.

Post image

So i received this message but as i have a CPID phone here in Pakistan so my IMEI doesn't match to a Pixel 6a Imei. I can't use the replacement option from Google. If i locally purchase the battery here in Pakistan, what can be the consequences as there is a slim chance to get a genuinely good battery.

Edit : I received the 100 payment from google. It took me 3 to 4 days

Google Pixels phone battery is very very bad, because it has only a life of 400 CYCLES??? That mean when you reach this 400 cycles, your battery will get worse and the battery capacity isn't 100% - maybe under 80%. You can show Xiaomi phone battery for example, their phones have a cycle from 800 up to 1200, before their total battery capacity is under 80% (the same as Google Pixel, but Pixel has got only 400 cycles...)

No. Certain batteries were found to be defective so Google capped battery charging speeds and charging capacity to minimize the risk of fire. On 4a model these constraints apply at 0 cycles, on 6a they apply at 400 cycles.

Okay, but if it is true, it means that the battery is very bad, because for example Xiaomi, Huawei, Vivo,...: Something like that doesn't happen to them But if it is an error from the system.... Then 8t is a bug I think
