2x Battery + charger 2000mah($13.00)

Gonna try them out...not sure what i'm gonna get but for 13 bucks worth a try
http://cgi.ebay.com/2x-2000mAh-Batt...330459330057?pt=PDA_Accessories#ht_4942wt_911

Highly doubtful 2000ma batteries, probably 1500ma batteries that are really 1300ma. Tutoit on ebay I have 2x1500ma batteries for a 9.98$ shipped with a charger, I would get that instead.

yeah, either get the 2 1500s and the charger for 11 50

or the 1800 and the charger for 11 50

I was just looking at this... seems like a great idea... the extra charger allows you to keep a second battery charged without using the EVO to do it. Even if it's really a lower rated battery... still a good deal.
Did you try it?

I ordered it, but still waiting...those hong kong shipments take a while, i'll let you know as soon as I test it out

I have a set of the 1500 mah batteries with the charger as was posted above, and I have no problem with them. I use my OEM battery most of the time, but sometimes it is handy to have some fully-charged back-ups. Honestly, I don't see much of a difference between what my OEM battery lasts and the knock-offs. For the price, you can't beat it.

so how are the batteries?

normally i would stay way from cheap Chinese crap on eBay, but with what i read here on the xda boards in regaurds t othe ok qualitybeing good enough that they might work out, so i ordered 2x1850 plus charger from ebay. i dont have time to do any real testing but i can say that:
1 not having to charge the battery from the phone is nice
2 i always have one on the charger, one in my pocket and one in the phone.
3 charging in the base seems to get me a better charge
4 i cant tell a difference between oem and knock offs, although you would think that the 1800's would last longer than the 1500oem but we know how that knock off crap goes. in my book if they are the same as oem, regardless as to what they claim and dont require a bigger back plate, then i guess that's good enough.

The 2 from tutoit or what ever the sellers name is work great last as long or longer then my stock battery. The charger also gives a better charge to the batteries then I get through my phone I'm talking extra hours when I charge with it.

I got this and it's a good deal for the price.
The batteries aren't as good as oem. Probably last 75-80% as long.
The charger works well though and it's nice to have a couple extra batts laying around. I've only cycled them 4 or 5 times so I suppose the life could improve...time will tell.

I Have a number of Minor issues with mine. Must of gotten a bad set.
1) USB port on the charger does not output enough juice to charge the phone (Accually Locks it up until I unplug it)
2) Charger seems hit or miss on recharging the Stock Battery. I've left it plugged in all night and come back to ~20% charge when I pop it in a number of times
3) Random Screen cut off when charging the Replacements IN the phone.
So I only charge the Ghetto batteries in the charger provided.
That being said, I STILL think it's a great deal and more than happy with my purchase. I have 2 spare batteries for my phone (Or the wifes CDMA Hero) and a way to charge one w/o having to leave my phone behind (I don't have to babysit my phone for a charge, If someone walks out of the poker room or party with my charger and battery it's no big deal) The 2 China batts. are just emergency tanks, The Red one gets put back in as soon as I get home.

Best Purchase at twice the price.
Don't wait press the BUY NOW!!!!
Loved the first set so much that I purchased a second set 2 weeks later. I keep 1 set at work and 1 set at home. I always carrying a fully charged battery in plastic bag in my pocket. I love the EVO but hate the battery life. The first month I owned the EVO was hell for me having to carry a power charger and cable everywhere. I hated having to plug my phone in every time I found a power outlet worried if I didn't I may find myself without a phone when I needed it or having to fight everyone at the airports for power outlets. Now when I'm low on juice, I just switch batteries.... BUY NOW you'll never regret it....

I purchased 2 3500 batteries with new backs on e-bay for $22 and change. They work great I can go for over a day with fairly heavy usage.
Only minor problem was that with the phone thicker my silicone case doesn't fit as good. Extra weight no problem.

Yeah one thing I have learned from buying these types of batteries and charger is that they don't like to charge the OEM batteries but charge the cheapo ones just fine. I've noticed it on alot of things not just phone batteries.

buy it for the charger
i bought a 2000mAh that turned out to be a 900mAh so i would only buy it for the charger.

I wouldn't recommend the 2 x 1500 batteries plus charters the 1500's seem like a 1300 or a little less I would say try get the 1800 one from eBay they have a lot of auctions for them so all you gotta do is be patient and try to get for cheap that's what I'm tryin to do

Just ordered one of the 1800mah.. will see how this works out!

Looking for some extra EVO batteries, who currently has the best cheap ones on eBay?

Back when the EVO first came out, I jumped on that set of EVO batteries on eBay that was two batteries and a wall charger and the combo proved to be VERY good quality. In fact, I lost my HTC battery and I've been exclusively using these China made batteries for a while now and with my current configuration, I'm getting a day and a half with medium to heavy usage.
Well, I finally lost one of the two China batteries and my wall charger broke because it was stepped on, cough, I need to order another set and I'm wondering who/which set it currently looking the most promising.
I want the two battery charger set again. I'm sure by now someone has made something better. I don't want an over sized battery though,. I want it fit my standard case etc.
Thanks for the suggestions!

Two 1800 mAh batteries with a wall charger. MANY people have ordered this and have nothing but great results. They are indeed 1800 mAh batteries unlike most off brand chinese batteries that end up being a lot less than what they state. Best part is, it fits right in the stock battery cover with no problems! Been using mine for a month or so and battery life has definitely increased a noticeable amount.
Example: Today I have gone 12 hours and 10 minutes since I pulled it off the charger, and the battery is at 54%. That's with moderate usage, and I turned the 3G radio off for about 3 hours because I have basically zero reception in the shop.

Go to ebay and search for evo batteries. There are literally hundreds of listings. They're all virtually the same thing. I bet if you look you'll find essentially the same battery set with charger that you had before, and probably for less than ten bucks (minus shipping).

I just got an official HTC battery (it's black from a different device, Hero I think?) from buy.com for $13 shipped.

Eh.. Yeah I'm not looking to spend $40 dollars on two batteries and a wall charger when I just spent $9.90 SHIPPED for the last set and I'm getting just as good of a charge off those as I did my HTC's. I just asked because I figured there might be something better then what I had before out maybe.
Probably just buy two more of what I already have I guess.

These are the ones that I like the best. I have a few, and I got some for a few of my friends and they agree with me. Doubt they are actually 2000mah but they do last longer than the stock batteries. I also have a few other ebay batteries but these are the best of the bunch.

Hate to say it but you got ripped off big time. These EXACT batteries are all over ebay for under $10 for the same 2 +a charger set you got.

I bought some of those Chinese batteries from a seller named Touch-World or Touch_World or something like that. I tried to find him for you, but it doesn't look like he's selling anymore. I'm not sure it matters, though. The deals look the same. When I bought them it was $8 for two 1500 mAh batteries and a wall charger, all shipped to my house from China for free. Now it looks like you can get 3 of the same batteries with the wall charger for $12.
You are right, though. The batteries are just as good, if not better, than the ones that come with the phone. As I said above, I bought two of them. I used them in my Hero. When I got an Evo, I then had 4 batteries. My girlfriend and I now each have a spare battery.

So Ebay batteries?

So I know there are a couple of posts on here but I have found them a little hard to follow. I just got my captivate last sunday and on the stock 2.1 rogers rom I noticed that the battery life was very poor. Since then I am now running cog 3.01 i think and my battery life is now alot longer than before.
For the way I would like to use my phone It is still not enough for what would make me happy. my phone is unplugged at 6:00 am and when i get home by 5 it used to be dead but after "breaking in the battery" and the new rom i get home with about %15 percent battery.
I just bought a triple battery pack off of ebay for $10. these batteries are rated at 1500 mAh, the same as the battery that came with my phone. I am just wondering what I can expect from these batteries.
My plan is to drain two of them completely then leave them in my desk drawer(from what I have read if you plan on storing batteries they should be completely drained first) and use one of them plus my oem battery daily(until they start to lose performance). Again does anyone have any experience with a battery of the sort or any similar third party battery?

they are no where as good as samsung oem battery. even though it says 1500mah it is not or will drop drastically after a month or so of use...i've bought a lot of those batteries from ebay and they always like that even some other well known companies like Seidio do not compare with manufacture's batteries. the difference is usable capacity, oem batteries are around 95% compared to cheap chinese ones that are anywhere from 60-80%.

haha thanks that makes sense why they are so cheap, well i will probs by three new ones every months or so.

I have those ebay batteries. I bought the kit that comes with two batteries and an external charger for about $10.
The ebay battery is has about 60-70% of the power of the OEM battery. I have no real hard evidence just from using it for the past 2 months or so.
I am ok that it is does not last as long as OEM because it was only $10 and it came with the external charger. I love the external charger because it allows me to charge a spare battery while I keep one in my phone.

I bought the same ensemble, with essentially the same results excepting perhaps that one of my replacement batteries seems to underperform with about 40% of OEM battery life.
That said, for $10... they're very handy as backups. They'll easily give you a few more hours in a pinch, which is essentially just what I was looking for. I really have no complaints in that respect.
The best strategy for battery life I've found is to buy a handful of wall adapters and position them in places you spend a lot of time at, and to develop a habit of plugging in when you're not moving around.
Sad but true, but mediocre battery life is just kind of a way of life for these (and really all) high-performance Android devices. Excepting getting an outsized and expensive battery replacement like the Seidio 3500 mAh that all but prevents use with many accessories and cases, a couple wall chargers and a car charger are effective if mildly annoying means of managing it.
These generic Hong Kong replacements are entirely effective as emergency supplements, but you'll find yourself preferring the OEM cell still.

Yep I mean for $20 I have two charges and 4 batteries so if I need to go without power , even if not a 100% match for the oem power, it is still damn cheap.

I also got one of these from ebay.
I got the 2x 1500mah batteries + Battery Charger combo.
I must say I am impressed. They are the same quality as my OEM battery. Its so convenient. I never have to run to a charger anymore. Just keep the spare battery in my car or wherever and just pop it in and carry on with my daily business.
When I get home, I just re-charge all the batteries. The Battery Charger even has an LED Light that tells you when its finished. "RED: while charging" and "BLUE: when finished". Charging takes about roughly 3 hours, (just like OEM).
Edit: Been using this for about a month so far. With no problems.. Its the best feeling. My phone is never plugged in anymore. And, I don't have to "pinch the settings" to make my phone last.
IE. lowering brightness to 10%, turning sync off, turning wireless networks off, etc.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
only crappy thing is??? I plan to sell this phone soon, when the Galaxy S 2 comes out, if the specs are good enough.

Would you mind posting the link or giving us the name of the exact vendor you ordered from?... I'm about to order the 2xbatteries and charger combo, but just want to make sure I get batteries that are half way decent. When I search on eBay I get about 20 vendors selling similar combos and given that in HK they're celebrating Chinese New Year... most won't fulfill orders until next week.

i wouldnt waste your money unless you just want an extra.

Found a great deal on stock batteries and charger!

I just bought these batteries. Im not into extended batteries cause of the added bulk. Its great deal for stock batteries! Not sure if these are authentic Samsung batteries but if hey end up to be generic, they were cheap anyways.

It ships from hong kong so more than likely they might be fake and it will take 2 weeks for shipping lol

You say that like I didn't know lol.
I've bought batteries off eBay that shipped from Hong Kong for my other phone in the past that turned out to be real. At least they worked and lasted just the same as a real one. To this day those batteries still work perfectly fine. They even looked exactly the same so well just have to see

thanks for this! they look good to me and for 12.99 you cant really go wrong. i have some batteries around from my og epic still and I rarely if ever have to use them because my battery life is great now. nut, this does look like a good buyt to me. im tempted to get it just for the charger. i lost mine and cant find it. i have a 4 and a 2 year old boy so theres no telling where it ended up. probably at the dump now...
anyways, good eye for the batteries and charger!

For anyone that may be interested in batteries that are exclusively Samsung OEM: don't purchase these. They are generic. This posting is rather misleading.
Just a few points of thought: Nowhere in the listing does it say they are stock OEM Samsung batteries. The picture is there to throw you off, which has apparently done its job. lol The price and logic don't warrant it being OEM. For the same price as 3 generic batteries, you can get 3 OEM Samsung batteries? Course not, just think about it. Also, it would be illogical of the seller to sell an OEM product so low. The Chinese are known for a lot of things, stupidity is not one of them. lol Lastly, if the batteries end up looking like the picture, does that mean they're OEM? No, because of the above reasons, which are logic and price. The Chinese already produce a legitimate version and/or knockoff version of almost everything one can think of...do you think they aren't capable of copying and creating the same simple logo and sticker onto the generic batteries as there are on the OEM batteries? Of course they can. With ease.
That being said, the generic batteries aren't exactly garbage. They're just fine and have the potential of working just as good as OEM batteries. Though there are some lemons here and there that don't work up to par, and some that don't work at all. I just wouldn't expect to get a Samsung OEM product.
Coincidentally, I myself bought another set of 3 generic 1800mAh batteries + 1 battery wall charger from eBay today for $9.99 + free shipping and should have them in less than a week thanks to buying from a U.S. seller.
AMERICA.
P.S. Sorry, but I gotta vent (and inform) about this...there's a seller from China on eBay with a poor feedback rating selling the highly popular Samsung 32GB MicroSD Class 10 cards for roughly $15 each (they normally sell for between $50 to $75 and still have counterfeits among them), and some moe-rons snatched up about 400 of them in about 3 days time. Really, people? With the ridiculous, rampant amount of fake microSD cards on the internet market, you're actually going to believe a Chinese seller with a poor feedback rating selling "OEM" Samsung newest generation microSD cards for $15?? Common sense isn't so common. Bottomline: you get what you pay for. OK I'm done venting.

i ended up picking up a set of 3 1800 mah batteries and a charger for 13 bucks. tethering 4g really does a number on my battery (guess its the wifi + wimax being on at the same time) and it would be nice to swap these out when needed.
One thing im concerned about, do these batteries heat up with constant use? ive felt the stock battery go up to 42 degrees and i think any warmer than this may end up damaging my phone.

I would bet my middle testicle that those things are as fake as a chola's eyebrows.

dont really care about them being fake, just dont want these Chinese?? cells overheating and damaging my phone.
for thirteen bucks shipped i didnt really expect oem batteries, just something to use/drain/swap while tethering

I bought these.. 3 and external charger. I don't regret it one bit. I could careless about battery drain now. I can now use my phone and enjoy full usage without having to worry. I highly recommend it. Although it will take a month to come in. If you are even slightly considering it, I say go for it.

thanks for your reply, ever have issues with the ebay batteries overheating/warming up?

You lie. YOU LIEEE!
Links or it didn't happen.
I'm gonna order some from HK because I can't find any in the US.

I switch between the 4 all the time (1 OEM and 3 generic). The three generics are numbered so I can keep track of them. I've had them since mid November, and I haven't noticed any difference in battery life relative to the stock battery.
I haven't had an overheating issues with any of the batteries either.

i have generic batteries as well and at first thought they were the same capacity as the OEM stock battery but that's only from 100 down to 40%. with the generic batteries, once i get to 40% if i reboot the phone it'll drop down DRASTICALLY to ~10%.

well, the seller in the ebay link, has almost 11000 sales, and a 99.4% positive reviews, so I would think its safe to buy from him..I am sure they are not "real" samsung batteries but, hell, for 13 bucks for 3 batteries and a charger, who cares!

China makes the best lipo batteries on earth. They also probably make the worst. It's a tossup. Luckily there is a good way to tell sometimes. The Chinese are more capitalist than we are now, so if a company in China makes good batteries they will put their name on them. If they make good product and only sell good product, they will gain notoriety and get to increase their prices to cash in on it.
So on these no-name batteries, either take the chance or buy Korean from a trusted retailer. Wot wah!

Had nothing but bad experiences buying batteries from Ebay, then again last time I did it was for my oldschool Motorola RAZR.

Just wanted to report back on the ebay batteries. So far so good, though they are definitely not as good as my stock battery. Good for swapping out when tethering etc. They do heat up with use, the max i saw while tethering is 47c. At these temps its unlikely they will last long, but for ~4 bucks each i guess they are replaceable.
The bundled charger puts out 5.2v at 800mah though it does have an annoying blue led that's always on while plugged in(black duct tape took care of this for me). Would have been nice if they bundled a usb cable, the one i had laying around works just fine.
Overall I had a great experience with the ebay seller who shipped China post->USPS, took about 10 business days.

Well I ordered some off ebay on the 12th of Feb. China post tracking says it just passed through a sort facility. Well, now I remember why I stopped using ebay 10 years ago. I miss when it was just stuff that fell off the back of a truck and people selling their used stuff. Now it's just chinese people dropshipping stuff that takes them two weeks to locate before they actually ship it. *fart*

Review after 30 days of rotated use:
These batteries are cheap. Very cheap, at best I would estimate 1500mAh, and they only go downhill from there. Now I'm lucky to last 7 hours with streaming radio. I would estimate I'm down to 1-1200mAh after less than 10 charge cycles.
I also broke the tabs on the charger inserting a battery too forcibly, but easily fixed with ABS cement.
However, I only bought them for streaming, tethering and to keep cycle count on OEM battery down, but it may not be worth it to you given the terrible life cycle.

[Q] Best experiences with external battery backups?

Just ordered a Zenfone 2 to replace my old S3. Love the phone, but hate the non-removable battery. Took the leap anyway because of the price. What are your best recommendations for battery backup units in the ~6000 mAh, ~12000 mAh, and ~20000+ mAh ranges? I figure I can snag a small backup that can fit in a pocket and a larger one I can leave in my car/bag/backpack. Which ones have you guys experienced that are long lasting and charge effectively? Ones that are resilient? Anything to the gimmicky seeming solar charging backup units from the like of ZeroLemon or another producer?

Aukey has a "Quick Charge 2.0" battery pack that should quick charge the phone way faster than any other option out there. Other than that I'd just watch the usual deal forums, etc. to find well reviewed models on sale.
My assumption has always been that tiny solar panels probably take forever to replenish your battery pack, but I can't say I have any firsthand experience.

The Aukey ones work well, I have 2 of them and they quick charge just fine and will give you ~2-2.5 charges depending on your usage while charging.

They are surprisingly cheap! $30.00 on Amazon for a 10,000 mAh version. That looks like a good rec. Do you have any experience with ones in the range of 20-30k mAh?

I would ONLY buy Anker brand. a lot of usb mobile batteries dont have power output to charge a phone that is also in use, and also have a heavy degradation after multiple uses. I was in a jam and bought a second battery at a CVS when i was out of town on business once and left my Anker brand at home, and after 3 uses it no longer could charge my phone faster than i was using it (talking on the phone).

Is the lifespan of Anker brand backups well known to be good? I'm thinking I'll buy two of the same unit so I can quickly swap them out of my bag when they die.

I'm getting the Mi Power Bank...the 10000 mah version can be had for $14 usd. Only downside is you have to wait for the "flash" sale. There will be one tonight at 9 central time(US).

Why don't you guys try the Asus Zenpower. I bought it with my phone for a package deal and looks very solid! Small too.. though its heavy.

With stock in the US, there is no way Asus should be charging that much for ground....Express shouldn't cost that much! Also....I wanted the Mi Band lol

I ended up ordering two of the 13000 mAh and one 6400 mAh backup, all from Anker. They were all Amazon Prime so I got free fast shipping, and they offer their version of Quick Charge so it should be a solid option for me. I'll update with my experience after I've had them for a bit if anyone cares.

Oh I am sorry to hear that man. Did you check eBay? Coz i got mine with the phone. If i deduct the phone price, the zenpower was only $10 plus shipping was free coz it was with the phone anyway. Mi is equally good. I am done with massive brands such as Samsung.. we mostly end up paying for their advertising, marketing and brand name.
