Hi, I am in the U.S. and I am considering buying a battery replacement for an iphone 3G that was purchased in Europe. Are all the batteries the same in the iphone, regardless of which country / continent it is sold in? Please let me know if the standard battery replacement sold on ifixit.com works for european models. Thanks! Steve

The battery should be the same. The phone has the same internal parts.
