Unofficial Battery Replacement

[Guest ticalex]

Is there any particular danger in using an unofficial battery on a phone like the Skate such as this one: http://www.amazon.co...duct/B008I7BHPY

It says in the item description that it is compatible with the Tania and the Skate.

Obviously it has a slightly smaller capacity - but am I risking any damage to the phone or anything stupid like that?

I need to replace as mine seems to be dying.

Cheers

I generally wouldn't recommend it, but I'm probably just paranoid. It should work just fine, though I'm not sure how wise it is to replace a tiny battery with an even tinier one.
