I am a VZW Sales Rep for about 3 months now, and today I read some posts which talked about a Moisture (liquid) Indicator under the battery. Can any one give me more info on this and where I can find it, or is it different for each phone???
Thanks

I am a CSR and from what I know is the LG phones 4400 and up have it in the battery. I have not seen any other manufacturer's have them. Way back in the day's (90's) the Nokia's did have them but I have not seen them do any in quite a while. Hopefully that will help you. 😁

Thanks!

When I look at an indicator, what will it look like to let me know it's been wet?

On an LG battery (and some of their phones) it has a small round hole with red x's on a white background. If the x's are smeared or if it looks pink instead of white - LG will not honor the warranty on that battery (or phone). Kyocera phones have a red and white checkerboard design on the edge of the sticker that has the serial numbers on it. Same thing - if it turns pink or is obviously smeared because of moisture - good bye warranty. Audiovox phones & batteries have a small white strip on the bottom - and if they are red or pink - they have had moisture on them. Hope this helps.

Nokia batteries also have a white spot at the end, that have a red like through the middle- if its solid red/pink then it's been water damaged

Samsung A680 has little circle with x's over it that are purple. I'm guessing they smear? Haven't seen a water damaged one of these yet lol.
