So I'm going to a concert next month and want to use my phone to record bands and take photos so I'm thinking about getting the hong kong batteries off ebay (2x 1500mah battery + charging station for $8.99 and free shipping) does anyone have anything good or bad to say about these hong kong batteries from personal experience?

The reviews that some of the customers give on amazon are quite disturbing. The only non oem brand I would trust is seidio. The others don't seem like they're built to last from what I read.

I didn't see many bad reviews on amazon but all the negative feedback on ebay were for different phone types besides incredible... I think I will order these since I will only use it as back up and not main battery

Then it looks like you didn't really need anyone to answer your question.
Seriously, batteries on eBay tend to be a lot more trouble than they are worth. Verizon has amazing prices on batteries with no risk; and Seidio are trustworthy if bought from Seidio.
Otherwise, good luck with your fake eBay battery.
I bought a 3500mah Hong Kong battery for 10 bucks on eBay, and it works great. I would say if you are going to buy cheap, get the biggest one available.

I have 2 of the standard Hong Kong batteries and two of the 3500mAh Hong Kong batteries from ebay and they all work great!! I get about 3 days out of my 3500mAh with stock ROM and kernel.
For 2 of the 3500mAh batteries with back cover and charger I paid $20.99 with free shipping and they got here in about 7 days.

I also received mine today but sadly am returning it. I have 4 of the cheap HK batteries off ebay that I switch out during the day and was thinking I would just get one of these instead. After getting it, putting it on and seeing the bulk it added and how incredibly hard it was to get the Siedio backplate off again, I am thinking that I am going to just stick with the cheapo HK batteries. I use my phone heavily during the day and one of these batteries usually lasts me until I get home around 5pm. I switch out a fresh one at 5pm and I use it off and on until I go to bed, usually between 9pm-11pm which I leave it in overnight off the charger. In the morning, I switch out a fresh one and off to work and the cycle repeats itself. If I end up getting on a long tech support call with Cisco or another vendor, I always have a freshly charged battery in my pocket as well. Well, since I am done with this wall of text about my battery situation that pretty much has nothing to do with this topic, I will end it now.
Thanks for listening.
Even $50 is a complete ripoff. I have 6 spare batteries, all from ebay that cost less than $50 combined. I don't care that they might not have the advertised capacity, but neither does the seidio (according to battery boss) and guaranteed my two cheap 1800mah batteries will easily outlast the 3500mah seidio one for a fraction of the price. So what if I might have to swap one out at some point during the day? On top of it, they don't need to use that HIDEOUS cover that is required for the Seidio.
I once placed an order for an 1800mAh battery one ebay and it ended up being worse than stock. Luckily i was able to get a refund.
Can anyone recommend a seller on ebay for an extended battery?
how much time did you give it to stabilize and what charging method did you use. they are all good sellers for the most part, you to filtering down by type of product. you might want to try looking for the seidio brand or sprint extended batts the off brands are hit and miss because a lot of them are out dated(because they buy in bulk and cell til there gone no matter how old the product) lithium ion batteries with high discharge rates, they might advertise as polymer but ship something totally different so be aware. hope this helps.
How many times has it been revealed that a lot of those Chinese/HK sellers put crap batteries and solder the connections to the housing of a 3500 mAh ones?
Agreed that their housing looks better than Seidio's (what were they thinking?) but that's all they're good for.
Get the real thing if you want real results.

I have to agree with you on Chinese batts they don't nearly last as long as they say but they are better then stock.
I have used both seidio and Chinese 3500 batts and actually I prefer the seidio back
Even though i thought i wouldn't
And they made it that way so they could use holster still with out makeIng a giant case to go witha giant back.
Oh and back on topic I got two seperate orders from seller speedy-China they each came in 10 days and they were fine for what they are

I got some for 50 cents on ebay and they rock great battteries
I would be interested in knowing anyone was able to get a good cheap extended battery on ebay and from who.
I just ordered a 3500mAh battery from a guy named motel268 on ebay.
It shipped out a day after buying it (I got it for $0.01 cents plus $10 shipping). Hopefully it'll rock.
If not... it was ten bucks.
motel268? i gotta pass based on the name alone

Got mine of Ebay for Quicksellers.. Here is the link. Suppossed to be here in a few days.. So I'll report back after I check it out. How are you guys breaking these in? I have heard to charge them and let them drain completely and I've also heard Li-Ion batteries don't need that. Also heard to let it charge for a while after green light comes on... How is this possible if it stops charging after that?
ok.. won't let me post a link, but look for the Quicksellers vendor... I paid $11 shipped... Its more expensive from the same seller now, the price seems to fluctuate.
not too sure about battery's but i sell parts laptops on ebay

sorry for the shameless self promotion
Most my inventory is on Amazon it's hard to make a dime on Ebay but I do have a few listings up.
I'm definately not the cheapest but I have 100% feedback for a reason... I invest in Cadex equipment to verify what I purchase and RFQ directly with the manufacturers per those specs
My amazon store is www.gizmax.com
Not trying to sell you anything I'm sure there are other sellers out there just as good and maybe better

sent from my happy galaxy
A few of the JB Hifi places have them.
Telstra stores have them.
Quite a few local online stores have them also.
Great thanx for the answer

Your best bet would probably be Tel$tra shops, they sell em for ~$40. These guys also sell them for $40, but you'll pay around $9 for delivery, I ordered one b/w Xmas & NY & got free delivery.
$40 is pretty much the RRP for it so you probably won't find them much cheaper. Personally, I bought a $13 Anker 1900mAh battery and it seems to do the job.
I also got the Anker twin set of batteries for around $20, which included a charger too. Battery works great, and I got 3 batteries now!

Someone is selling one here on xda for 30 shipped. Good price http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1578472
I just ordered one from ebay from a seller called shimshop. 30 bucks shipped to canada. Looks like a 3 week wait. So 30 bucks appears to be the average.

I got mine from Handtec because Expansys didn't have stock yet. Was worth it to me at the time and was about the same price. If you think $30 is too much, that's what they cost for genuine OEM batteries. Beware the cheap versions on eBay....they're mostly fakes and one seller is charging about the same price.
What's the best way to detect a fake? No NFC support?
You can get anything on Amazon. Why not take a look there?

Try ebay but be careful with the seller. I got a genuine OEM extended battery from ebay sell mulkin.
expansys is the cheapest i found, negri electronics is selling them for $50 bucks
Hello
Does anyone know legit ebay seller for this kind of battery, i have ordered some batteries for phones in the past but mostly when they come they hold very little charge and looks like bad clones. I would like someone to recommend a good and legit ebay seller in europe preferably for faster delivery.
Regards
Amazon. Search OEM battery for your device. Buy one that's specifically for the phone.
