2x Battery + charger 2000mah($13.00)

Gonna try them out...not sure what i'm gonna get but for 13 bucks worth a try
http://cgi.ebay.com/2x-2000mAh-Batt...330459330057?pt=PDA_Accessories#ht_4942wt_911

Highly doubtful 2000ma batteries, probably 1500ma batteries that are really 1300ma. Tutoit on ebay I have 2x1500ma batteries for a 9.98$ shipped with a charger, I would get that instead.

yeah, either get the 2 1500s and the charger for 11 50
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290444598681#ht_1730wt_1137
or the 1800 and the charger for 11 50

I was just looking at this... seems like a great idea... the extra charger allows you to keep a second battery charged without using the EVO to do it. Even if it's really a lower rated battery... still a good deal.
Did you try it?

I ordered it, but still waiting...those hong kong shipments take a while, i'll let you know as soon as I test it out

I have a set of the 1500 mah batteries with the charger as was posted above, and I have no problem with them. I use my OEM battery most of the time, but sometimes it is handy to have some fully-charged back-ups. Honestly, I don't see much of a difference between what my OEM battery lasts and the knock-offs. For the price, you can't beat it.

so how are the batteries?

normally i would stay way from cheap Chinese crap on eBay, but with what i read here on the xda boards in regaurds t othe ok qualitybeing good enough that they might work out, so i ordered 2x1850 plus charger from ebay. i dont have time to do any real testing but i can say that:
1 not having to charge the battery from the phone is nice
2 i always have one on the charger, one in my pocket and one in the phone.
3 charging in the base seems to get me a better charge
4 i cant tell a difference between oem and knock offs, although you would think that the 1800's would last longer than the 1500oem but we know how that knock off crap goes. in my book if they are the same as oem, regardless as to what they claim and dont require a bigger back plate, then i guess that's good enough.

The 2 from tutoit or what ever the sellers name is work great last as long or longer then my stock battery. The charger also gives a better charge to the batteries then I get through my phone I'm talking extra hours when I charge with it.

I got this and it's a good deal for the price.
The batteries aren't as good as oem. Probably last 75-80% as long.
The charger works well though and it's nice to have a couple extra batts laying around. I've only cycled them 4 or 5 times so I suppose the life could improve...time will tell.

I Have a number of Minor issues with mine. Must of gotten a bad set.
1) USB port on the charger does not output enough juice to charge the phone (Accually Locks it up until I unplug it)
2) Charger seems hit or miss on recharging the Stock Battery. I've left it plugged in all night and come back to ~20% charge when I pop it in a number of times
3) Random Screen cut off when charging the Replacements IN the phone.
So I only charge the Ghetto batteries in the charger provided.
That being said, I STILL think it's a great deal and more than happy with my purchase. I have 2 spare batteries for my phone (Or the wifes CDMA Hero) and a way to charge one w/o having to leave my phone behind (I don't have to babysit my phone for a charge, If someone walks out of the poker room or party with my charger and battery it's no big deal) The 2 China batts. are just emergency tanks, The Red one gets put back in as soon as I get home.

Best Purchase at twice the price.
Don't wait press the BUY NOW!!!!
Loved the first set so much that I purchased a second set 2 weeks later. I keep 1 set at work and 1 set at home. I always carrying a fully charged battery in plastic bag in my pocket. I love the EVO but hate the battery life. The first month I owned the EVO was hell for me having to carry a power charger and cable everywhere. I hated having to plug my phone in every time I found a power outlet worried if I didn't I may find myself without a phone when I needed it or having to fight everyone at the airports for power outlets. Now when I'm low on juice, I just switch batteries.... BUY NOW you'll never regret it....

I purchased 2 3500 batteries with new backs on e-bay for $22 and change. They work great I can go for over a day with fairly heavy usage.
Only minor problem was that with the phone thicker my silicone case doesn't fit as good. Extra weight no problem.

Yeah one thing I have learned from buying these types of batteries and charger is that they don't like to charge the OEM batteries but charge the cheapo ones just fine. I've noticed it on alot of things not just phone batteries.

buy it for the charger
i bought a 2000mAh that turned out to be a 900mAh so i would only buy it for the charger.

I wouldn't recommend the 2 x 1500 batteries plus charters the 1500's seem like a 1300 or a little less I would say try get the 1800 one from eBay they have a lot of auctions for them so all you gotta do is be patient and try to get for cheap that's what I'm tryin to do

Just ordered one of the 1800mah.. will see how this works out!

For this being only your second post, it sure does look a lot like spam advertisement.

Considering the hellfire conflagration a bad Lipo Battery can cause, I would be nervous about buying cheap knock-offs. If Seido charges $70 for these and someone else charges $4, you gotta wonder what you are getting. I doubt Seido has a $66 markup on their batteries.

it's not something just a deal on a cheap. battery if you want a spare or if like me your charge port is broken and use a few batteries and wall chargers, if you want to spend $9 for the same battery with a back cover go ahead, not Spam just a good deal, show me a better deal for a cheap extended battery. like I said I don't charge the batteries using my phone so these work great, good to charge and leave in the car or plus its always have a normal sized battery in my wallet

TEP covers broken usb ports too. I got a brand new Evo when I took mine in for repair.

I bought my evo used but tried to do the Touchstone mod and messed up sodering or something and now the charging port does not work and the g sensor doesn't work, but I do not miss cord charging I got like 5 batteries and 3 external chargers, that cost me like $30 for all that off cheap ebay sellers, so I always have like 3 batteries always charged and ready to go, don't even miss cord chargers any more

Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if Seidio had that large of markup considering they sell cases with a holster for $50. Which of course is just two pieces of molded plastic with a bit of psuedofelt and rubber finish. And which in my case, started to fall apart within 6 months after purchase. Frankly I don't think Seidio is the slightest bit better than the cheap eBay sellers, they just make a lot more money based on the perception that the charge more so they should be better.

Exactly alot of companies leverage their name so they can sell the same thing as other suppliers at a higher markup. It's good to know that alot of "manufacturers" don't actually make their own product, they actually contract out alot of their products.

Eh... $4, i'll bite.. We'll see how it works out.
Total for this and an external charger was like $7, so not too much money lost.

I purchased a couple things from them already off of ebay. Shipping was a couple days longer than I expected but they are reputable. My battery I got from them also works great...

Finally got around to testing it...
Charged it with the phone off, unplugged and turned it on.
Charged it until indicated green then unplugged then powered down.
Repeated this process four times until icon indicated 100% power.
So far I'm down to 11% and have been going 42 hours and 50 minutes with my normal use (texting, couple calls, light internet use, light gaming).
All in all for $4, great purchase. I was even more so surprised when the eBay seller contacted me and told me it would not fit with the stock battery door (I already knew that personally). They informed me that I would be getting a battery cover I believe, or a full refund.
I didn't mind either, so I just said whatever works.
EDIT:: Checked my inbox today, and they are sending a back cover it looks like.
"Now the battery cover in stock ,and we have send it to you for first time ,this is the tracking#:removed
Would you pls check it later on www.usps.com"
Fun grammar, so we shall see what this holds in store for me.

Are they still for sale?
I made an offer for the same price as the recently accepted offers and got rejected

When I went back to purchase another, they were $104 and some change.
My thoughts are they realized they did not fit the stock EVO and they needed to revamp their posting and or include a battery door.

Do a search on ebay, I found some by a couple different posters.
I can't post links yet but they are about $10

I charge mine with an exteral wall charger just for the battery, and between my two 3500 batteries in can go two days with each battery, but I usually just swap them every morning

I received my 3500mAh chinese battery yesterday and used it until it died. I charged it over night and unplugged it at 6am this morning. When I first pulled it off the charger it immediately dropped 6%, from 100 to 94. At first I was like WTF but I know the USB/AC Charger is notorious for this so I paid it no mind. It's nearly 3pm here and my battery now has 8% life left. Almost 9 hours battery life... something my 1800mAh chinese battery was already able to do. I know I can't expect much from a $8 battery, but I thought it would put out more juice than my stock one at least.... am i missing something?

3500 batteries just take longer to charge, use an external charger or charge with the phone off

Thanks. I didn't think about using the external charger, so hopefully tomorrow's performance will be better than todays. I'm curious though, if the 3500 battery wasn't fully charged, why did it show as 100% before I unplugged it?

So I let my 3500 battery charge for over 12 hours on an external charger. I've had it in my phone for 10minutes now and its already dropped 10%. 0_o

Has anyone ever tried Mugen Battery on our Vibrants?

Has anyone ever tried Mugen extended 1600mAh battery on our phones? I'm thinking of getting on and I want to know if its worth it.
http://www.mugen-power-batteries.com/mugen-power-1600mah-extended-battery-for-samsung-galaxys-i9000.html

Why get a 1600mah when theres a 1650mah by T-Mobile?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App

Because no one can find the friggin 1650s. Even the post dedicated to them doesn't have more than a dead ebay link for them.
Sent from my rough sketch of a Vibrant on a brick.

why get the 1650 when u can get 2800 on amaZON for under 20.00 us?

Well anything higher than 1600mah will cause the phone to get really fat.
I posted link above.

fat battery
I got one of those fat batteries from amazon and it doesn't seem to last that much longer than a standard battery. It also makes the phone look pregnant.

I am using a 3.7VDC 3500mAh Li-ion Battery for my vibrant and it lasts me for 2 days and a half without charge, Of course the battery is a little bulkier then the normal 1500mAh, & it comes with a back Case, its worth the cost and its for only $16 Bucks on ebay. Its worth the money Sweet

I got mine yesterday, but did yours feel like it didn't work at first? Cause I feel like it doesn't work, but I heard its gonna work after a week.

Well actually the battery was working fine when I received it. What you want to do is once you have the battey, deplete it till it fully drains out of power. Then recharge it with the charger they supplied you, don't charge it throu the phone. Once you see its fully charged. Chharge it for at least 1 hour more and u will get the full capacity of the battery. If your vibrant has a good kernel u will be set for 2 days straight. Hope that helps. Am using overstocked kernel

...he said dont charge it through the phone, which is the only way you can use the vibrant charger so that rules that one out, so by process of elimination and a lil bit of thinking the only option left is his came with a charger for the battery, probably a small dock type deal.
Just gotta think a little not too much to ask

i apologize for the late reply, I should of been more specific with the charger i was talking about. It is a USB/AC Wall charger for the Samsung Galaxy S i9000, Sprint Epic 4G, AT&T Captivate i897,T-Mobile Vibrant T959. You can view it on ebay, Amazon etc.

2x3500mAh extended batteries, 2 battery covers, wall charger... 20.99?

Just like the title says, I found this deal on Ebay. I'll let you know if these batteries fry my phone when I get it. I hope to get it soon.

I have seen that on ebay. Some of those deals come from hong kong. Shipping takes forever. Great deal tho I have had one of those knock off extended batterys and it worked like a champ.

Wow! I'm now using one battery while charging the other on the external charger. Shipping took a bit, but I am completely satisfied with the money spent.

Found the same deal for 17 free shipping

That sounds about standard for that package, I think I've seen them for as low as $16 with 2 of everything

I just bought a 2 pack (2 batteries and 2 covers) for $18 with free shipping from Georgia. Hope to get it soon. Should I really expect a short life for this battery?

I bought 2 extra batteries and a wall charger for the battery itself(1). I never run out of juice cuase i always have 2 extra batteries in my car. The items did come from hong kong and was only like 9.7x anyways it was really cheap and works liek a champ as some1 said before. These hong kong items are an american buy

I cannot speak for the extended batteries, but for the Hong Kong knockoffs 1500 mah, in my experience they are just as good as stock.
subscribed for OP's experience with said extendeds

I have 2 sets of extra batts and an extended batt. I rotate every day and it seems to keep the batteries fresh. Plus I don't charge them in my phone so I don't see that loss of 7-8% juice when you unplug.

Thanks for the info. I've got my battery in and used for about 3 days. At first I was worried b/c it drained quick. But I let it drain all the way and then did a full charge and it's running like a champ. I'm going to cycle it one more time as well.
Currently I'm sitting with an uptime of 37 hours and 5 minutes with 35% battery life. This is with my normal use during the work day that consists of texts, some web browsing, phone calls and random games/facebook. Doing this usually requires me to charge my phone at work or it will die pretty soon after being home.
So far It's been a good $20 invested for both my battery and wife's.

I just ordered the Seideio 3500 mah battery from Newegg. I've read nothing but good reviews for that battery, I hope it works out good.

I have been using the "Chi Chi Tech" 2x "1900" mAh batteries & charger from Amazon. I have been using them for about 5 months, swapping them out a couple of times per week and they last just as long as the original 1500mAh battery that came with the EVO, maybe even a little bit longer.
Not a bad deal for $24.

Legit battery seller?

Im looking to get some spare batteries. Ive browsed through amazon quite a bit. And any seller with good deals has barely any reviews if any.... Just wondering if anyone knew a legit place to pick up a few for decent price.

anker batteries are pretty solid.

I got some EzoPower 1800mah batteries from Amazon last month. 3 batteries and charger for under $15 shipped. So far so good with quality and battery life. I was going to get the Anker but they were out of stock so I tried these out.

Ankers are still in stock.

Recommend you get the two battery + charger. Much better deal for $23.99 compared to the single battery for $15.99 .
I got mine when they were on sale for $9.99 .
Sweet battery, definitely is up there with how long it lasts. Daresay it's almost as long as when I had my phone when it was brand new with the fresh OEM battery.

I ordered a used OEM ET4G battery from "MKK Group Inc", it was legit and works great, looks identical to my original OEM battery.
Went to order another, MKK were all out, so I ordered from "Moonlight Express". This battery was too "long" by a few millimetres, it wouldn't fit in the phone, well it maybe COULD fit, but I doubt it would come back out again...
Dunno what version of this device this one goes to, it's SN is THaB1130ZS/5-B, EB625152VA 1800mAh
My original OEMs are SN TH1BC19VS/5-B, EB625152VA 1800 mAh
&
SN TH1C321CS/5-B, EB625152VA 1800 mAh
Also I have 2 dead and bloated batteries with TH1BC15FS/5-B & TH1BB19XS/5-B, so I'm guessing the TH1 series is for our phones and the THa series is for some other slight variant.
That or it's a fake perhaps. In any case I'm returning it, and hoping MKK gets more in. Or maybe just get this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/2520mAh-Ext...-II-2-Epic-4G-Touch-D710-Sprint-/271104168282
Edit: Thanks for the tip someguyatx, I'll avoid that one. The 4100mAh Qcell extended battery I ended up getting from Amazon has been amazing.
About the Moonlight Express seller on Amazon- they have great customer service and immediately issued me a full refund, and they haven't even provided me with a shipping label yet. Impressive.

Dont buy the 2520mah battery for 30 bucks. Its almost certainly a fake. There are several on ebay falsely advertised like this.

I ordered these at the end of January:
http://www.amazon.com/Anker-Batteries-SPH-D710-Cellular-Multi-purpose/dp/B005HBH1R2/
I got two batteries and the wall charger for $19 and change. Right now it says they're out of stock, but the seller was AnkerDirect. Seemed like a pretty good deal.
No problems whatsoever, and I actually use the wall charger more than I thought. I can rotate the batteries in and out and have a spare for the time being, and will give one to my wife when her battery starts spinning.

I bought an ec technology 1800mah from amazon for 7.99, i just got it yesterday feb 18th, the funny thing the battery was marked feb 1 2013, very fresh cells. So far battery life is steller, highly recommend ec technology.

I would watch what battery you
because most battery gives hardware problems like "Burning up the motherboard" as thats what happened when I bought my last battery. I forgot what it happened
but there was a day that it overheated my phone
And now my whole phone couldnt hold a proper battery charge and charge correctly because something got messed up, lucky i had a warranty as it replaced my phone for free.
Usually sprint told me to "Make sure you buy the battery that has *Samsung* Written in it" you know the stock ones?
Those I recommend getting. I always made sure i bought those and no problems with my phone for a year and 4 months of far
