Free Battery Swap from U.S. Cellular Starts Monday
I
f you have ever had a cell phone battery die on you, you know it could cost as much as new phone. Replacement batteries generally cost $40 and can be hard to find in stock.
In fact, Jay Leno on the Tonight commented that when he went to a Sprint store, his phone was a two years old and they didn't stock the battery.
Starting Monday, U.S. Cellular will launch an Battery Swap program, where customers can come into any store and change out a dead or dying battery for a fully-charged one, for free. U.S. Cellular is the only wireless company to offer this service.
