Nobody in the previous post addressed this. Is there a stand-alone charger in the market that can charge the original battery. I bought on on amazon. Turns out it only charges the battery that comes with it. I have 3 Samsung Captivate batteries and I really need a stand-alone charger.
Thanks.
I'm pretty sure Samsung makes one. Or at least I saw it on their site at one time. I'd check there

The one that I bought is made by Samsung, but it only charges the battery that comes with it. Id Does NOT charge the original Samsung battery.
So the question is still open.
I bought this one. The prongs on the. back for the outlet can be flimsy, so I ordered two last time.

Thanks, dude, just what i've been looking for
Hey guys,
After having my Galaxy Nexus for little over a week, the battery is starting to worry me. I don't think the battery would ever last me one full day with heavy usage and I was wondering, do you guys know of a website or a retailer that sells an extended battery/extra battery or on the go charger for the Galaxy Nexus? I'm probably going out for the holidays and I don't want the battery to die on me.
I am using the GSM variant of the Galaxy Nexus from Bell on Android Revolution HD (though I did notice the same battery life on the stock rom :/)
Also, on a side note, does anyone have a good site to get a USB otg adapter or a MHL-HDMI cable/adapter for a good price?
Note: I'd prefer not buying from Ebay, as I have had bad experiences in the past. Something like Amazon would be preferred.
Thanks,
Mosh

if your using the gsm gnex i would get the gnex carcharger from vzw, it charges the phone really fast(like the home charger) until you can find a gsm extended battery online or something
I'd go nuts having to constantly swap out my batteries to charge them at the end of the day. Get the charger.
Monoprice is a good place for cables. Power sources though are kind of meh.

I've got a spare battery and the factory stand that can charge the extra battery without it being in the phone on order. Not sure when they'll reach my shores but apparently "not too far away". I'm sure you could find a supplier where ever you are. IMO they were reasonably priced for genuine accessories
Thanks for the replies guys! I don't think I can get a charger from Verizon and it would probably be expensive. Oh, and just to confirm, by charger you mean on the go (without an outlet)?
EDIT: Also, do you guys know of any good websites in Canada?
EDIT2: Amazon is preferable!

Been trawling the interwebs for an extended battery for gsm (like the gs2 one), If anyone comes across anything please post
Extended battery is still on sale for $24.99 I just ordered mine last night. Click the link and add to cart and it will price drop to $24.99.
Enjoy.
I'll let you know how much extra battery it actually gives once I get it but its supposed to help.
I would post the link but since I'm still so new it will not let me but just go to Verizonwireless and find it under the accessories. The Retail stores are doing the same deal as well.

Did you order from Verizon? Or from the link posted above?
I ordered directly from verizon, get free 2 day shipping as well. Its a actual bigger battery with new backplate to fit it directly onto the phone, so other then that you don't really even know you have the extended battery. I will know once it comes it how much bigger it makes the phone but I've heard its pretty minimal on the look of it. I don't know if this supports the GSM model since I am on Verizon and have the LTE/CDMA phone.
i got my car charger from expansys when i ordered the phone
Can anyone confirm that this will work? : http://www.amazon.com/PowerGen-Ultr..._1_6?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1324279677&sr=1-6
I have purchased Hyperion back up batteries for my Note 2. I have used these on my S2 and S3 and they have always performed exceptionally well.
Now however, the batteries will not charge when in the phone. I have to use and external charger. Does anyone know of a fix for this situation? I have searched the entire site with no luck and also searched HF with no luck.
Thanks in advance for any help.
I remember seeing this problem in other forums and I don't think there is a solution except to buy OEM batteries. They don't cost much. I got 2 for $10 on eBay. They charge fine.

Thanks for letting us know not to buy these! Get a refund if you can.

Sorry you had to go through this. I tried a bunch of non-OEM batteries on previous phones, and they always seem to cause some of the weirdest problems (especially on my Sensation 4G - the screen would do bizarre things with non-OEM batteries). Luckily you had obvious problems - some people's lives become miserable due to subtle problems caused by bad batteries that they would never assume came from the battery.
I already bought a back-up OEM battery on eBay, though. I would recommend only New OEM batteries, though.
Im waiting for anker
I have purchased Hyperion batteries for my Galaxy S II and my original note and in both circumstances they gave me problems It seemed like the phone would run out of juice much faster than the OEM ones.
I would recommed sticking with Samsung original equipment. In my opinion, there is a reason they are less than half the price.
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.
why don't you buy it from oneplus store?

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.
Hi,
Just wondering if anyone's able to help/has any ideas.
I have a HTC universal (an SPV M5000) that I use as my main phone (mainly due to liking the keyboard, as well as the rest of the hardware). I've kept it going over the last 15 years by buying replacements off ebay when the hardware has worn out (this is now the 3rd or 4th HTC universal phone that I've had), and also buying replacement batteries off ebay.
Unfortunately, I can find virtually nowhere left selling replacement batteries anymore. (The only place I can find still selling replacement batteries is e-batteries.co.uk, which I'm unsure of, as it doesn't seem to have a very good reputation when reading reviews.)
Does anyone happen to know of any place that might still have replacement batteries at all?
Alternatively, I was wondering if there are any alternatives, is it possible to recondition/repair dead batteries somehow (I have plenty to test with!), or perhaps even make your own battery?
I have HTC universal's spare to keep me going, but one, possibly two good batteries left at the moment , so am trying to find a way of keeping it going! (I know it may be a slim hope with such old hardware, and there haven't been many posts in the last 5 years!)
Thanks in advance if anyone can help!
Just came here searching for the same help. I recently dug up my Qtek 9000 and realised that the battery had swollen, so it wouldn't recharge / nor boot anymore. :/
Apologies for also posting in a long dead thread but am also trying to source a battery for a HTC universal
Its proving practically IMPOSSIBLE and i cant find anywhere online that has one up for sale
Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated
No hope here
Hello fellow battery seekers. I must say I have spent the last month combing trough the whole wide web for any place anywhere with PU16a batteries for sale. No luck. I found a place in India having them but not shipping internationally, I tried the Battery-mart website that shows them in stock but just got a refund after a few days. Finally found two manufacturers on Alibaba. Was so excited as the price was $5.95 per item, minimum order 30 pieces. One of the seller did not reply at my questions at all and the other informed me that one of the parts required to manufacture the battery is out of production and can no longer be produced. So I'm out of luck. I need at least 3 working batteries. If anyone living in the UK has any dead batteries to give away, I can try to rig one up. I will experiment with some slim Blackberry batteries I have, maybe solder the wires to see if it boots up and recharge correctly. I will post the results.

Hey, I got my hands on a lot of batteries for the Universal. If anyone is interested, I'm selling them at 30 GBP a piece, discount for multiple items. Find it here https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/254659262462 or look for PU16A on ebay.co.uk
Hi, do you still have any left?
I'm based in Morden.
Thanks.
