So, being a mechanic in an i-device household has forced me to become an iphone fixer. These things, as you know, do not like to get wet, yet somehow their owners find ways to dunk them. Most recent success was a new screen and digitizer assembly on a 6S. I replaced the battery first, but the screen was bad. New screen install went well. Dunno if the bad screen borked up the new battery, but battery life is sub-par. I figure I'll put one more battery in it and see if that improves it.
Where's the go-to for good replacement batteries?
I don't know if it is the best price place, but I have bought a few things from https://www.ifixit.com/
They have all the special tools if you need them and very good step by step guides. Definitely a place you can trust, but maybe(?) not bottom dollar price.

I usually get the from Amazon. Check the description since some kits come with all the tools and some are just the part. I found getting a bag of extra screws helpful too.
Yes, I have found that Yontex includes every tool you could possibly need, which is very nice. Not sure how good their battery is, though.

I second the ifixit website! Kit comes with battery, tool kit, new glue pad and instructions on performing the replacement and instructions on CALIBRATION OF THE BATTERY.

I second Ifixit. I've bought several batteries and replacement screens for the family's iphones. They have all the tools and tutorials to help
I think I paid like $25 to get my iPhone 6 battery replaced at the Apple store.

Well, poop! I wish I'd known that a few days ago!

I actually order them from paddling threads on here when they pop up.

If you paid the full price, call them and they will reimburse you the difference. My wife paid the full price and they sent her an email telling her she could claim the difference.
In reply to Slippery :
Oh, no. I didn't pay full price. I just assumed they were a pack of thieves and decided to do it myself. LOL.
