Every handset undergoes our rigorous 30-point technician bench test at our St Marys Flagship Workshop (122 Queen St, St Marys NSW 2760).

What battery health percentage is guaranteed?
We verify and record the exact battery health percentage for every handset. Devices feature verified battery health, typically 85% to 100% capacity. If a battery cell was replaced during lab testing, we use brand new tested quality cells and disclose this with 100% radical transparency.
