it better work or im gonna flip
It could be OEM, since it does have an HTC logo on it. But I don't think it is made specifically for the Evo since it is black and not red.
Dude....
Go to ebay and search seller's name tuttoit. 2 Evo batts and a wall charger for 9.96 delivered. The guy has sold almost 7000 of them. I bought one set and have been running a couple of days on one of the batts. Can't tell the diff from new. His feedback is like 99% +. I am well satisfied!

I ordered mine from this guy too. Can't wait to get them...
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
i dont like that its from hong kong though, ill pay the extra 10 bucks i guess from another seller if its fromt he u.s. so i dont wait 1+ months for it.
bought the dock from wireless for the same price as the dude from ebay thats in hong kong. cali to ny would be faster than hong kong to ny. im not very patient lol
I waited less than 2 weeks...
for mine to arrive. Actually ordered on a friday and they came this mon or tues...so 10-11 days. Not bad for $9.freakin 96. BTW...these are good quality products!
Not sure about this $10 OEM, but there are various HTC OEM batteries floating around on ebay for other HTC phones that are identical to Evo battery.

I bought 2 of these from him a few weeks ago. They are just fine.
I just go to the sprint store that has techs and ask if they have a battery or two lying around. I have 4 spare red batteries plus I gave one to a co worker and one to my girl friend.

how do i figure out which sprint store has techs? and how much did they charge you for them?
Well, hopefully I didn't just get jacked. I never used eBay before. Just ordered a red 'HTC oem battery for Evo' for 20$. If its quality, I don't mind 20$. But previous post did make me realize I've been able to get extra batts for free at sprint on previous phones. Just kinda forgot. ****, shoulda tried that first.
Ordered from 'mrcellshop' . Anyone familiar?
I got my batteries a couple of days ago and they have been perfect!!! I can't tell the difference from the stock one (except that their black of course). I haven't charged my Evo in 3 days, all I charge are the batteries and swap. Normally leave my house everyday with 100% charge and with a extra battery just in case
For $10, these batteries are nothing short of amazing! The charger is nice too.

You won't be disappointed. No more worrying about your battery life anymore
I've ordered all kinds of electronic components on ebay from Hong Kong before, never had a problem. The stuff is cheap as hell, you just have to wait a month on shipping.
What I don't get is how they can sell you an item for $1.03, with $0.99 shipping, and it arrives well packaged in a nice foam padded envelope. They must have some kind of government assistance on shipping over there because it would cost over $5.00 to ship the same thing here.
Damn. Makes me wish I'd've gone the 10$ route. I guess I figured 20$ sounded 'more legit' or something. Crazy, I know. O saw the 2batts and charger for 10$, but it looked like like an AC charger for Evo. Did I miss something? Is it a dock charger for the batt cell alone? (This is what previous post sounds like, with 'not charging for 3 days)
I was switching out my memory card from my Touch Pro 2 to the Evo and realized that the batteries are exactly the same! They just have different stickers. all of the rating are the same as well. If you have an old TP2 and Evo then you can use them interchangeably.

They charged me nothing for them....Normally the techs sit back behind a window in the back of the store....
Has anyone checked this deal out at all?
2 1500mAH and a charger for $29.99
Dan
Update - The seller has now raised the price by $5.
I haven't seen it before. But, two batteries and an external charger for $30? Can't beat that, just bought it.
Let me know how it does.
Will do. Ground shipping so it'll probably be later this week.
From what I have read on them (ChiChiTech), expect on par or slightly less than OEM, but will serve purpose. Customer service sucks, but Amazon takes care of that, so should be ok. They also sell on ebay.
I think I can't order it. They used the most tasteless SEO.
This is a High Quality Battery for the HTC VERIZON THUNDERBOLT 4G LTE. Keep one as a spare and you're good to go that extra mile at work, checking emails, chatting with your friends or surfing the web on the road, Japan Tsunami Earthquake.

i always find non oem batteries die the day after the return policy is up. i'd rather pay the extra money to get one you know won't fry in your bolt when you overclock it

This is the same thing that is on ebay for around $12 free shipping. I bought one for my DINC and it worked great. Gonna get another set for the Bolt from ebay.
Update they are $10.99 free shipping with two 1500mah batteries...
I have to agree on the SEO issue, it's in poor taste to use the horrific events to sell a product. They likely work for Groupon and the superbowl ad company they used.

Ordered the same set up on the 18th, so hopefully it's here by end of month.
I agree - for $12, it's worth a punt - worse comes to worse, I'm out lunch + coffee money for a day (I live in NY ). Best case scenario obviously I then have 4 batteries.
Estimated between April 08 - April 21
WOW, just wow! hope you dont need them soon! id find another seller on ebay and pay a few dollars more for within a week atleast.

Picked it up last night. I don't care how long it takes, it's worth it just for the external charger, even if the batteries suck.
Worst case scenario, it would still get me a few extra hours. Best case: 4 batteries. Good deal.

Seems way too cheap to me but I just pulled the trigger too. Hopefully at least the charger works.
Their website is htcexpress.com. I got the 1800 mah batteries for my DInc. One of them gets way better than stock life and the other about the same. So hit or miss, I guess. I ordered some 1500s for my Bolt. Looks like it uses the same batteries as the MyTouch 4G.
You guys know thats an aftermarket battery in the amazon listing
deceiving pictures
I have purchased the "replacement" aftermarket batteries from overseas for the third time now. The first was for the Touch Pro, next for the Touch Pro 2 and now for the Thunderbolt. They arent as good as the OEM IMHO but do they really need to be?? I suggest being very careful with the wall charger though, very easy to brake stuff on the inside of the thing. After that happens it takes time (plugging and unplugging the stupid thing in the wall) to get it to charge a battery. Overall for the price u cant beat it!
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004GSWOZQ from what I've read the MyTouch has the same battery, I've purchased it and I'll give an update when I receive it. It's only 24.99 versus the 34.99 that they're marketing for the Thunderbolt.
sweet man. I might just have to get this
Hello,
My Atrix sometimes dies on me in the middle of the day because I use it heavily so now I've decided I need to buy an extra battery. But I don't trust/want those custom batteries with an extended battery cover. So I'm looking to buy a genuine OEM battery, by genuine I mean an actual Atrix 4g battery that came out of the box, not a copy.
If anyone's willing to sell me one or know where I can get one, please help me!
Thank you!
e-bay or AT&T store....
Don't want to bother looking for the post but someone said they called motorola and they sent him a new battery.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
i just ordered one off of amazon. its the bh5x intstead of the 6, but it has 20 more milliamps!!!!!11!one, and is oem.
I got one free from motorola. Didn't even have to call, I used the online chat. It's covered under warranty
Just tell them your issue with the battery.
I see newpower99 sells replacement battery for the T800 for $69. Then there's an eBay merchant that sells one for $18
http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/281587417724?lpid=82&chn=ps&ul_noapp=true
Anybody with experience with these? Maybe the cheap battery will blow up in my face or maybe newpower99 just grossly marks up?
I was going to give one a go myself when my battery eventually dies, the ebay seller has good feedback for the sales he has made.
But if the worsted happens, you have nobody to sue for damages like you get with a big seller like M99
I myself will take the chance but that is my choice, you have to make your own mind up.
John.
Nope, been there, done that. Bought cheap replacement batteries before. They didn't blow up or cause any damage, but they never took a charge either! These were 4, count them, 4 batteries for a Canon digital SLR camera. I bought one, no luck, they sent me 3 additional replacements none of which would charge. I did get my money refunded and I bought a REAL Canon battery and it DID charge. Nope, no way I'll do it again. OEM only for ME.

Probably have to agree with this. Cheap for a reason. If it doesn't blow up or damage the device I doubt it'll hold charge or last very long.
So.... Did anyone here end up replacing their batteries?
If so - did you roll the dice with ebay, or go the pricier route with Newpower99?
My battery is still relatively decent, but I expect will need eventual replacement.
What would be a good app to assess a battery, and which result would trigger replacement?
I did replace my 8.4 battery with a new one... bough it at my country for RM 75... approximately around USD 16 and it work fine.
Same here. Got a 15 euro battery on Ebay out of Ireland. Part number matched, it was a perfect original. Works like a charm.
I bought a supposedly genuine battery off of Ebay that turned out to be a total bust. It doesn't fit well either as I can feel it shifting inside the phone. :crying:
Does anyone have any suggestions on good OPO 2 replacement batteries?
I actually bought 2 different ones (one from ebay and one from a different site). Both of which turned out to be bad. They worked but they lasted less than the original one. I ended up going back to the original. If yours' is tottaly dead, I suggest you just stick with whatever you've got and don't waste more money.

Because if you already knew, oneplus doesn't sell any replacement parts through their store, they only do repairs (which are expensive afaik)
Damn, guess I'll have to go back to the old one. I might try Amazon and see if they're better than ebay.
Thinking after 2 years it's time for a battery replacement, I ordered as well recently from Ebay waiting it to be delivered but not keeping my hopes high. I let you guys know if it turns out OK.
Edit: It's terrible. Overheats and charges really slow etc. Went back to the stock. Ordered another one. Will update.
Edit 2: Back again to stock.
same here guys.. got the phone for 20 months now and in winter I got huge battery drops....I'm just calling/email and the battery won't last for more then 8 hrs... this is crazy...
same here, bought two on ebay, both worse than the original.
Asked support where to get a original replacement, but they wouldn't tell, but offered to do the replacement for around 40 Euros. It took almost 5 weeks though, so if you have a spare phone, I'd advise to do the same, instead of trying to find a decent replacement somewhere....
Hi everyone, reviving this thread as the older our beloved op2 gets the more and more of us will be in a need of a replacement battery.
Now, did anyone have any luck finding an oem battery replacement somewhere else than OP support?
All the "originals" on eBay seem to be garbage.

before you start getting stuff from ebay and other questionable sources, ask OP how much will it cost you for THEM to replace it.
in my case, they are asking for 33 euros which is actually not bad at all. as a matter of facts, i am actually sending mine out for repair tomorrow. sure, i will have to live without my OP for like 2 weeks, but there is a guarantee i will get an original battery.
rule of a thumb - "original" batteries from ebay are ****

I agree. Charged the same. Like you said, will give it to service Centre.
Hi all, so I've bought one on ebay for like 15$ with tools set and so far so good, on one charge got like 1,5 - 2 days - average usage (calls, emails, toilet gaming) , but charging time is longer i think... keywords for ebay "Original NEW Battery BLP597 For OnePlus Two 2 With Nice Tools 3200mAh 3.8V"
I'm using it for 3rd week now...
I recently had my battery replaced by OP.
RMA created in the weekend.
Package shipped out on Tuesday evening (through UPS).
Delivered at the repair center on Wednesday, repair quote received (and paid) in the evening.
Repaired on Thursday morning and dispatched later that day.
Received back in my possession (UPS delivered) on Friday.
Sure, it was wiped, bootloader locked and flashed with OOS 3.6.1. but that was expected.
I have absolutely no reason to complain and I hereby officially regret all my previous attempts to get a "new" battery from ebay or other questionable sources for which I wasted more money than OP asked for: 33 EUR.
New battery immediately increased the SOT by 1 hour and i no longer face the issue i faced before which was: whenever the battery dropped to 30% i knew i had no more than half an hour left until the phone died.
So, if you need a new battery, save yourself the time and money and do it the same way. I would certainly recommend this to all european customers, like me.

Hello, can you please install "accubatery" app from playstore and charge your phone from 1-100% without using it? It will show you a real estimate of your battery capacity. Post screenshots afterwards, I will buy that battery for sure if its close to an original new one. Thank you!
Hi, will install it, but not sure about the 0-100% as I need the phone for daily use..maybe during weekend

Thank you, the 0-100% is not that important, the bigger fraction of charge the better, you can install it now and it will measure your battery over time, the more charge sessions of over 20% the more accurate results it gives.
Hi so I've done it yesterday. See screenshots attached.

That's actually very nice score, looks like a real oem battery or a very close one. New original. Batteries show around 90%-93% with that app. Buying one, thankyou.
Maybe this has been asked elsewhere... but facing the fact that mostly our only option here is 3rd party batteries... has anyone tried one of the two (or more?) Chinese 3800mAh batteries? One is called an HSABAT (maybe the company) and the other a Da Da Xiong.
Here's the HSABAT "New 3800mAh BLP597 Battery" (I am not recommending or dissing this! Just interested if someone's tried it!):
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HSABAT-N...Oneplus-2-One-Plus-Two-Battery-p/202269516963
And here's the Da Da Xiong 3800mAh BLP597 Battery:
https://www.dhgate.com/store/product/da-da-xiong-3800mah-blp597-battery-for-oneplus/399378631.html
AGAIN... neither of these have been tested by me. I am wanting input from anyone who has tested them. I know we sometimes have opinions re China, many of those opinions bogus, but folks our phones were made there. So maybe these are good. And maybe they are a joke. I hope for input from someone who's tried 'em.
