It was semi-after market. It was labeled as an original, factory
battery from the same company that made the phone, but I bought it
from a cart in a mall, so it could have been counterfeit.


I recall reading about a rash of cell phones blowing up due to poor
quality replacement batteries. Not saying that is what happened here,
but it is a good possibility.
