Looks kinda ugly.
If you're not familiar with DealExtreme, be prepared to wait a month or more for your item - they all ship from China. But the shipping's built into the price.

Plus usually their stuff is not to bad..
This had me a little worried:
- Replaces your broken or damaged original palm pre battery
with most chinese batteries not even being 70% of their claimed mah, looks like alot of extra bulk for very little battery life. an extra 300-400mah MAYBE.
Looks like the same one sold by boxwave.com which is pretty good company. I've ordered stuff from boxwave before.

battery
Well for getting batteries, i never deal with dealextreme, as its not reliable. I usually order my electronic accessories so as batteries with Chinabuye, reliable and well made quality. They are online store from China, i find i get all latest hitech gadgets and their accessories at best rate. My batteries working so far so good! Worth it!!
why are all the larger batteries LiPo?
after dealing with them in airsoft there is no way i would put one of these in my pocket.
and in the fact that they are cheap chinese batteries and you have a recipe for napalm to your genitals.

I noticed recently that there are some Ebay sellers selling BST-41 batteries at very low prices. All of them seem to be from Hong Kong or China.
I got this feeling that they are all fakes. This is too good to be true right?
Anyone who got one care to share your experience?
Personally I'd avoid batteries from third parties that are "incredibly" cheap.
Make sure the quality of these batteries are well known. (comments, forums, other users, etc.)
I'm not telling you to stay away from them, but to keep an extra eye open and make a bit of research on the manufacturer before you jump on.
These types of batteries should be rigorously controlled during manufacture, and I bet these cheap batteries aren't so well controlled during the manufacturing process.
Sometimes even some chemical components or processes are skipped to keep the manufacturing costs down.
Risk of third party batteries to catch fire or even explode, due to the lack of quality, are bigger.
I've seen a few battery fires myself, and every time it was due to a "low quality third party battery".
Search the net on "lithium-ion fire" and you might get a glimpse
Just bought a pair, and they don't work.
When you get them, they are charged to around 45-50% and when you put them in your phone, they don't charge at all...
Don't waste your money, even if they are cheap.
I gave around 15$ for the batteries...
Thanks for the replies. Amazon.com it is, then.
I got a what was advertised as a genuine battery off ebay from a uk supplier
and while it works fine in my old x1 it's a tiny bit too short to push itself up enough to reach the battery contacts. Easily remedied though by gluing sone thin plastic packaging to the base.
Still not sure if this is a fake or a factory second as it holds charge fine and has the correct markings. It cost around 10 gbp

I got a cheap pair from ebay that were labeled as Sony SBT-41 batteries, but of coarse the labels were fake. Do a google search on fake Sony SBT- 41 labels.
Also, apparently, cheap batteries can be dangerous

Seller has excellent reviews, although ive been burned by knock off batteries that claim to have more juice, and last half as long
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/2-X-Battery-...ccessories&hash=item41611a66cd#ht_4575wt_1396
i dont expect better battery life, ijust hope it lasts as long as my oem
any feedback?
Thanks !
by the way, they are ANDIDA batteries, reviews seem decent, but any other feedback from members here would be great.
Like i said, a spare OEM battery seems to be 50$
I just want one that will last as long, without being extended or making phone thicker

I like his ad: "Avoid the cheap Unbranded batteries!" It should add: "And buy the cheap supposedly branded ones instead."
Buy cheap, get cheap. You get what you pay for. If it seems to be too good to be true it usually is. And all other similar comments.
I'm sure it would hold you over in an emergency but no matter how you slice it, it's still a cheap Chinese knock-off battery.
As for feedback it's usually pretty meaningless because a few weeks later if it failed or gave poor service the "good" feedback for fast delivery has already been left. I had that happen to me on a cheap Nikon battery. It barely held a charge after a month and I already had left + feedback. The seller would take it back but to mail a $8 battery back to China was a waste of time and would cost almost $6. I ended up spending $40 on a real one which ended up costing me $48 because the cheap one had to be tossed out.
true, but these are ANDIDA batteries, reviews on XDA say not really as good as advertised, but all pretty much say better than oem
I think i will give these a try, like i said, im happy if it performs like a 1750mAH, and they are not 2-3$ ones, still 15$
if it's a third party brand battery, i'll go for goki and momax, i have always trusted them, and they dont make batteries with high battery capacity like 3000mAh with the size of a standard battery, it's not always possible, instead , their battery do last long and is rather good quality.
in ebay search for momax i9250, there are plenty, the power are 1650mAh.
if you want comments on them, here is a link on the momax i9000 extended battery, forget the comment on the case, and read comment on the batteries.

Hi!
I was wondering where I could buy even more batteries for my Galaxy S3.
I did find a battery on ebay for $7 (going to buy 3 or more), but was wondering where I could get it cheaper with free shipping.
I doubt it, but would like to check this forum first

That is really cheap. I also am going to guess that it is not full on OEM. The one I ordered was a little different. It said Samsung, but it wasn't. I haven't tried NFC yet.

As far as I can see, the battery doesn't have NFC included in that battery. I think the original battery with NFC cost about $30 if I'm not totally wrong?

I can't see ebay links at work. I was just guessing you were buying from someone like who I purchased from. If it is OEM it has to have NFC. I would go with Anker if I didn't want NFC. They make the best Non-OEM batteries that I've used, although I've heard good things from Hyperion too.
Avoid fake chinese crap
I'm looking for a real samsung battery too, but I wouldn't trust any seller on ebay claiming them to be genuine. Most are from china, and I'd have to guess 99.9% of those would be copies. Amazon lists one as genuine for $25, which sounds about right. but again, I have no clue. Personally I'd like to see and buy one in a local B&M store. unless I knew for a fact I'd be buying a real samsung battery.
I tried a "4200mah" chinese battery, twice as thick, new bigger battery door, etc... CRAP CRAP CRAP. Doesn't even last AS LONG as the factory 2100mah thin battery :crying: JUNK JUNK JUNK.
Today I got 3 batteries from ebay - bought for a very cheap price, less than 15$ in total.
The battery didn't fit properly, I found it hard to get the battery back out. It also said that the battery had NFC, but no.
Seems like it wasn't even Samsung battery, which I tought it was until I saw the label they'd glue to the battery, all the batteries also shared the same S/N: AA1C505BS/2-B.
I haven't been able to test out the actual battery lifetime on the cheap batteries, since I won't be using them anyway because I wan't NFC capabilities.
Stay away from cheap batteries, best way to get a quality product is to actually put some more bucks into the product. Get the "real thing" that works the way it's supposed to do.
What's up with the price change? Is there anything justifying the 470% price increase?????
Other than greed, I mean...
Anker battery, sold by 'authorized seller' on eBay; not even ten bucks:
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Anker-1900mAh-Battery-Samsung-Galaxy-S2-II-i9100-/220813288199
Same battery sold by same seller, much MUCH more expensive now:
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Anker-1900mAh-Battery-for-Samsung-Galaxy-S2-II-i9100-/330747106855
What's up with that? is it because the I9100 will be "phased out" or something? Isn't there an installed customer base huge enough for these guys to continue selling their batteries at an affordable price? I'm flabbergasted.....
-=-=-=-=-=-= Edit:
After having looked around a bit, to my great surprise, I was able to find this at $9 on Amazon.ca. I was VERY surprised since we, in Canada, rarely get the same deals as in the US... we always get milked with more expensive products, even of our dollar is at par with the US dollar. But this time, the price was the same.
Now the funny thing is, the Amazon.com and .ca seller is the SAME as on eBay; so he sells these babies $47 on eBay and less than ten bucks on Amazon. I do not understand it one bit....
wanted to buy this battery about a week or 2 ago and saw those prices on ebay, no idea why it increased that much so would like to hear if someone know

Your best bet is now Amazon.com or Amazon.ca... If you are luckily to be in the USA or Canada.
Other than that, the eBay prices are absolutely grotesque... :-\
NEW ROM will arrive people will buy NEW BATTERY instead of changing phone ! (It`s a 2 year old phone so battery will not last as new)
It's back down to $12 now, but I'd say they were low on stock so they jacked up the price for the last one or two units to avoid running out. Many online sellers do this for some reason, I guess selling out looks bad.
I've looked on Amazon and ebay and there only seems to be garbage knock off batteries with bad reviews. My phone battery is getting very unreliable after two and a half years. I'm sure there must be others who have replaced their battery by now. Any recommendation where to get a good one? Preferably a real oem one.
I can recommend rounded.com. it's a company from Netherlands. They're selling oem products with reasonable price. Little expensive than amazon but at least they are not selling fake ones. I bought a battery from there and works fine for me. No problem so far.
