What is the difference between an original Apple battery and a ThePhoneLab battery?

The Apple battery is manufactured by Apple and therefore identical to the battery that is placed on a new iPhone. We can offer these original batteries because we are an authorized Apple service provider. You can also choose a compatible battery from ThePhoneLab. This battery also meets the highest quality requirements, but is not original. For that reason we can offer these for a lower price.
