Cheap batteries, possibly longer life...

bought these http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemVersion&item=260607429319&view=all&tid=0
just got them today, pretty fast shipping, about 8 business days to alberta canada. i had my doubts because of the price, but they fit perfect, have the same specs as my stock battery, and come with a handy wall charger too. so far i have 8 hours on one of them with my regular heavy text usage, some 3g market etc. only at 81%! seems a bit better than my stock battery but that could be placebo, more testing in the following days should prove wether they last as long or longer than stock.
just thought id give you guys a heads up, im happy with the purchase and now i can have 2 spare batteries in case for some reason im not around my car charger or wall charger. also have a crystal gel case on its way, will take pics of it for the other thread when it arrives.
cheers!

just to clarify, in case anyone caught it in the ad....
first picture battery label says li-poly, item description says li-ion. i can confirm they are li-poly technology.
just in case anyone caught that...

Link doesn't work

Can you provide the battery's manufacturer and model number? Even pics would be cool.

so far today usage seems about the same as the SE stock battery, but i did encounter a problem last night. i plugged it in with my SE charger, green charge light comes on, but didnt charge. i didnt notice this until this morning when the phone was off and dead , so i guess they dont charge with the SE charger, but they do however charge very fast in the wall dock that came with them. i also tried using the usb cord from the SE charger with the charger i bought, doesnt charge. im wondering if theres something different with sony's cable, might go pick up a generic micro? i think, usb cable tonight and see if it will charge properly.
anyways, sucks they dont charge with the SE charger but i think it might be because the SE battery has the overcharge protection circuit in the battery? while these batteries dont? just a guess.
ill keep you posted, and i can get pics if you want, but they are EXACTLY as shown in that ad, like, identical.
cheers!

Thanks, interesting, I was mainly looking for a battery charger, I didn't know I can find one for the X10.
Do you knw if you can recharge the original battery or the mugen one with this charger?
The price is pretty cheap I may buy one and see it myself anyway.

my SE battery charges in it, but the two no name batteries will not charge with the se charger, or my old htc diamond charger with the se cable.... i dont know if its the se usb cable or the no name batteries... but they seem to have the same capacity as the se battery...

I bought the same batteries with the charger and neither battery would take a charge.
I would be very careful of getting a knockoff battery. They are labeled as being manufactured by SE but clearly they are not SE batteries.
Did a google search and it seems some fellow died when his knockoff batteries exploded as he was carrying his cell phone in his shirt pocket. Had he been carrying his phone in his front pant's pocket he might have a different problem
The article did not say what brand these batteries were knocking off, but I would still be wary of such cheap batteries.

i already stated they do not charge with the SE charger. and if you got the same as i ordered they are the bst-41 standard and meet all specs of the bst-41. do your homework beforehand people. batteries have been used daily since recieved, no issues , and almost exact consuption as stock bst-41.

Sorry if I rained on your parade but
They are labeled as being manufactured by SE (therefor are knockoffs) and they even have a phony serial #. I did do my homework and it seems that all those batteries have the same serial #.
How do you know they are same standard of bst-41 and meet all the specs, when clearly they are mislabeled - even says made in japan and I seriously doubt they are made there.
At least I can safely say they have poor quality control as both the ones sent to me did not even take a charge with their charger.
Talk about doing homework .....
In any case good luck with your purchase

jesus has this root wait made everyone mad negative??? im thinking we got shipped differnt batteries dude because the ones he sent me are identical to my se battery in every way, even the sticker on it is almost exact, even if they are knockoffs (which is what i was expecting) they are dam good ones imo. ive had knockoffs before but these charge in the same amount of time and discharge identical to my stock battery. maybe i got lucky, maybe you got unlucky, who knows. being knockoffs i guess u cant really complain for 10 bux. right now my 3 batteries are lasting me 7 days without charge....and thats on all night too.

All you wanted was to help and give your opinion and review.
Thank you for that!
I am thinking of getting a spare one myself, just for the summer holidays where I expect to be away from my charger more often!

just want to update this thread, its been weeks now, and i just checked my usage today on one of these batteries. phone has been on for 22hours since last charge...30% remaining, and thats including wifi on for i would say 5 hours, and 3g for the remaining hours. im using adw launcher, and i have gps off and bluetooth off. i usually have my 3g off as well, but since im on vacation and have 3 batteries i could care less so ive left it on. to my surprise im getting really REALLY good battery life. also have probably sent/rec about 200 texts since last charge, few phone calls, alot of surfing, mostly on xda app.
but yea, just wanted to put it out there that it is possible! should get even better after root!
BTW i just recently uninstalled task killer and task cleaner, i now let droid do all of that stuff....so...i guess the rumour is true....ATK does in fact use more battery...
cheers everyone

so I just put my stock battery in before I went to sleep last night, turned off 3g to see what kind of drain I could get. its been on for 9 hours without 3g, and I'm at 97%!!!! can someone tell me how to get a screenshot so u guys can see?

If you don't mind.your phone being a little thicker you should look into a extended battery I have one and its great go all day and still have over 40% at the end of the night.

I have the same set as is in the second link. I'll say this, the batteries are as good as the stock one, and great for the price. Also, having the wall charger for battery is very useful. So, that would be the one I recommend!
Also, I had terrible TERRIBLE battery life in the past. I mean, 3 or 4 hours and it was dead. The best thing I have found that helps this, is custom roms. I don't know if you are using one, but you might consider looking into those options if not.
The wall charger for the battery seems to charge the battery a bit faster than just plugging the phone in. It takes 3-4 hours to charge from dead.

i do have a custom rom But the battery life only lasts like 7 hours or so. I was thnking about the extended battery, but it makes the phone thicker, which i have to say id rather avoid. One of the greatest features of the captivate to me is how thin it is .
But yeah, as you said, the battery and charger are good enough Il be purchasing those tomorrow. If anyone has any other ideas, please shoot
edit : how thicker does it get? Is it still thinner than a blackberry storm 2?

I don't know how thick a storm is but it adds a quarter inch to the battery witch sounds like alot but I don’t really notice it when its in my pocket . I also think it makes it alot easier to hold in my opinion plus it only cost 13 dollars at cellularfactory.com witch was cheaper than all the oem batteries I found. I just couldn't carry around two batteries then you have to switch them when one goes dead and you have to charge them both but that's just me.

Isnt this in the accessories subforum? Or was it moved. If it was moved, then sorry :S i shouldve known.

get the wall charger and extra battery. it way better than adding bulk to the captivate. looks absolutely retarded adding an inch to this slim phone.

If your repair center is close just go in and ask for a new battery free of charger. Sometimes they have them in stock sometimes they have to order them and send them to you in 2 days. All depends on the luck of the draw really. I have four batteries from doing it this way.

Ahh, the OEM dock + external charger.
Wanted to get one of those.
Had the same setup as OP's the wall charger that is.
I can say, the non-OEM wall charger doesn't charge that fast.

a few posts down is a mod for the NON oem charger to make the USB charge faster. unfortuanatly you cant make the battery part charge any faster. but it WILL charge faster than you can run out a battery so its good.
for buying OEM batteries, i have been told to avoid the G7 series Samsung batteries. Find the G9 series. i bought one for $18 on ebay from an american seller in new york.

Can't find any G9's over here. Went over to a Samsung retailer.
Got myself 2 instead G7's. Last's kinda shorter than that of the G9.

What's the difference between g7 and g9? Im guessing better battery life. Where do you see what the series is on the battery?

It's at the lower right side of the battery. Near the S/N.
Kinda tiny on the G9.
HUGE on the G7.

My phone came with the G9 battery and seems decent, can't really compare it to anything as it's the only battery I have for now.
After googling the G7 vs G9, it appears that they're region codes. G7 being for Europe and G9 for the US.

yeah, im just going to buy the charger dock and battery off ebay. (the amazon one)
Thanks for all your help guys

[Q] OEM for cheap or 3 for cheap.

I got the 3 and external charger for 12 bucks off eBay. They don't last as long as the OEM, but 3 last a lot longer than one. Then I got the seidio 1600mah and it actually lasts me a full day. Guess I got one of the good ones.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App

I got the 3...If they don't last as long, I really haven't noticed.
I charge on my 2-hour commute, so I usually don't have any problems. I keep a battery at work, 1 in my backpack, & 1 at home. Options are nice.

I also got the 3 extra batteries for around 12 bucks. I haven't noticed any significant time differences between them and the OEM. Not to mention its kinda nice to have the external charger if i need it to charge an extra battery.

I'd do that just for the external charger. I bought an "OEM" HTC battery on Ebay for dirt cheap. It barely lasts 6 hours where my stock OEM battery will get 25+. Figures... you get what you pay for. I'll never buy used again to save a few bucks cuz you end up throwing that money away (usually).

My experience with non OEM batteries has been disappointing. I bought the 2 battery + wall charger from Ebay.. and no matter how long I charged it.. it never went above 75%. Also one of the batteries would drain to 0% and result in the phone powering off.. almost 5 minutes after I took it off from the charger (which said it was fully charged).
It was perhaps defective.. but that is something you might get when you buy so cheap.

I got the two "1700 mAh" batteries from htc express with the external battery charger and they definitely last a lot longer than the stock battery.. they were 30 bucks altogether which is more than the ebay deals but well spent imo
Sent from my ThunderBolt using XDA Premium App

i would recommend staying away from the ebay batteries. i bought a bunch (5) for my incredible and they never lasted as good as oem. now that i have the thunderbolt im looking for a good deal on an oem battery.

Been using eBay batteries since my Samsung Omnia. They may only last 85% of the OEM battery, but I always have a charger (in car, office, and home) so very rarely do I need to run off battery for more than 6 hours anyway. 3 eBay batteries + the OEM battery last me a good 3 days with minimal use. If I turn on airplane mode though they'd last about 4 days, so I'm happy with them.
To each their own though.

ill sell you my OEM HTC battery for $10 plus shipping. i still have the original box and everything. i'm gonna be taking a chance on one of those 3500mAh batteries on ebay so i won't be needing this one anyone. PM me if you're interested
EDIT: cost me $40 at the time -_______-

Well i kinda just want one battery. Im not into the whole swapping batteries all the time thing. Im thinking about trying a mugen power battery

i just bought a 3500mAh extended battery on ebay for $9.99 with free shipping. ill let you know how it is...... when it arrives been july 5th and july 15th -_______-

I got (2) OEM batteries for 11 dollars each from ebay... and they work beautifully. It is exactly the same as the stock battery.

I bought three my touch 4g 1500 mah batteries for 12 bucks off ebay and they work just as well as the 1400 OEM battery. Dont see a noticeable difference good or bad. Plus the standalone charger is awesome.

2100mah battery + charger from ebay

I recently bought a 2100mah battery and charger set off ebay for $8. Has anybody tried it yet? link
Its mainly just so I can have a backup battery and external charger but if it does last longer than stock battery that would be a nice bonus.
Edit: So this battery and charger came in a few weeks ago and both are working great. The battery life seems very similar to stock so I bet the actual capacity is around 1800. The charger works well, has a light that shows full charge and has a usb port on bottom for charging phone too. For my purposes I'm happy with this for now.
Edit2: After a few more weeks of occasional use this battery is definitely lower capacity than stock. My guess is around 1500 but no issues otherwise. The charger is working great though. Its nice to be able to charge battery out of phone and just pop in an extra battery in the meantime.

Here's my thoughts:
It's $8 for a 300 mAh upgrade. Plus, its in Hong Kong, so I don't know how quick it would ship. (Assuming you live where I do, in the United States.)
2300 mAh upgrade from stock. $20.
If you do the math, the second one is a way better deal.
http://www.amazon.com/QCell-Samsung-4100mAh-Extended-Compatible/dp/B006TQOJXI`

Yeah I agree big battery is a better deal, but I don't want a fat case and a heavy phone. This is a spare battery and charger in my laptop bag in case I need it. Its been a week already so it should arrive within the next few days. I will post some info when it arrives.

Just so you know you get what your paying for. So if this cheap battery fries your phone your out of luck with any warranties.
Ps. Don't use cheap batteries they don't have the same safe internals as oem batteries!

I have yet to find a battery that is extended life and same size as stock that works as advertised. Usually after a week or two they last as long as OEM batteries do. I even read a whole article a few months ago about it and it seems they're all crap after checking voltage throughout a month span.

I always use the supplied wall charger that comes with these so Idk, lots of the extended battery reviews on here are the same voltage & they seem to be doing pretty good.

It's not the charger which matters but the phone itself which charges the battery, it's aiming for 4.3V as that's what it thinks it should have as the stock battery is designed for that. Although I haven't heard a single case of these 4.2V batteries having problems with being charged with 4.3V, that last part can be changed in the kernel and the charger chip driver. I'm getting some knock-off cheap battery myself so I'll see how it goes. This particular one seems quite steep in price @ $30, with proven ones like the PolarCell 2400mAh going out for half the cost.

you won't see the affect right away from overcharging. I use to play with a lot of batteries from RC, overcharging something we use to do get slight edge and boost at start. but it does have long term damage to batteries, specially lithium based. some cheaper batteries even catch fire.

Alright guys, got the batteries in the mail today, charging one & will report back later

Li-ion batteries have an overcharge protection circuit built into the battery pack itself and should prevent this from happening. If everything is working as intended, it should be impossible for the phone to overcharge a battery. That's not to say the protection circuit couldn't fail itself.
And I too played with RC batteries and you really can't compare those batteries with these. Different types of battery with different methods of charging.

Any updates regarding your experience with these batteries? I used to own this brand for my HTC Sensation and was very pleased with it. Almost had about 400+ recharge cycles before the battery started to wear out. Looking forward on your feedback!

Am tempted by the 3000Mah battery by E-Cell....

Purchased a 2100mah previously to replace the 1450mah that was in my Sony Xperia Play.... Definately added a few more hours of play to it..... Hmmmm....
