According to a Reddit thread, OnePlus India is currently offering free battery replacement for the OnePlus 3, OnePlus 5, OnePlus 5T, OnePlus 6, and OnePlus 6T. All you have to pay is the labor cost for the exchange. That’s only 473 Indian Rupees (about $ 6 or € 5) for a single user OnePlus 5T.
This applies if you step into the OnePlus official store and does not apply to courier pickups that may incur additional charges. I think the reason for the move is that the company has a large amount of unused spare batteries for the mobile phones mentioned above, and because it is now quite old, we do not expect demand for these batteries to be very high. I will. Therefore, choose to make them available (almost) free of charge. This can lead to goodwill from OnePlus customers.
