Back in the day this was even better:

Original Galaxy S battery was getting weak? Order a new battery from Amazon for 13€. Battery arrives, pop the back of the phone off, pull battery out (just like that, no soldering), push new battery in. Push the back of the phone back on, done.

New battery in and it had more mAh than the original one. Despite overclocking that phone it ran a day longer after the replacement.

Thanks for reminding me of how I used to never worry about battery life cause the moment one got low, I'd just pop a spare out of my backpack and continue on with my day. Batteries were so freaking cheap!

You even had official charging stands that had slots for the extra battery so you could charge everything at once overnight
