does anyone know if these batteries are any good? anyone tried one?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280699571303&hlp=false
these seem to only be sold by ebay sellers(can't find them anywhere else) and are listed as "generic".
i know that mugen has one but it's $100 compared to this one being $35. i'm just wondering if they are any good.
it has a picture of the back cover saying "LTE 4G antenna" lol idk how legit it is. looks like a brick though!
I think this should be in the accessories section.

spare batteries anyone?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Seeing a few on eBay now but it's unclear what the capacity is. I'm wary of them anyway as I've had Chinese sellers send me the wrong battery for recent phones (check the listing, the battery described is often different from the one in the title!). Also I've had fake capacity batteries sent out - 800mah or less packed out to full capacity size with foam-rubber!
I'm hoping someone will make an extended capacity battery as it wouldn't need to stick out the back much as the i9100 is recessed anyway. There is an external battery pack available but it's just an additional battery that clips round the phone, not a replacement. Fugly too!
Ditto. Would love to score some batteries by next week since I'm going on a trip and won't always have access to an outlet. Especially since the battery drain is horrible.
Guess we're out of luck in the States since it'll take a while if shipped from UK
Looking at eBay I see a backup battery like this:
1900mAh Back-Up Battery For Samsung Galaxy S2 II i9100
Granted it is not an actual spare battery...for approx USD$10 it may be worth it to get it for some emergency juice for the phone.
Play have them on pre order. Apatantly they are in stock tomorrow

It claims to be a Sprint 1800mah extended battery for $7. Some of the reviews I read sounded great but reviews can easily be skewed, So I am hoping someone here has some information for me
If I were you I would just go with the anker 1700mah ones. There are a lot of fakes on Amazon/eBay that claim to be OEM. The ankers are cheap, and reliable.
Yeah that's kinda what I was thinking but I.figured I'd ask first thanks

Anyone tried one? I'm assuming it is a sticker like those "gold" batteries, but you never know.... Seller has good feedback

You can see from the pictures that the label on that battery is stuck on, seems too good to be true when you get about 50% more capacity without any added width, it is more likely to be a fake

Theres another one up that is 2900mah US based seller. Guy has 300,000+ positive feedback.
i saw this too on ebay. i'm considering it
seller feedback means nothing.. normal people won't test the batt properly and will just base it on their gut feel to see if it's better or worse than the original and if you complain that it's crap, the seller can just tell u you use it for 1 mth or something to "condition" it and he can get rid of 80% of all the people who complained
valid point but I think at some level it goes to the quality of the seller.

Highly interested in testing this if I could just find one on amazon

That isn't slim. I'll order one off eBay. Don't know if I should do the 3250 or 2900. The label on the 2900 certainly looks better

What about NFC?
Anyone know is the SEIDO site is reputable? They offer extended batteries (with and w/o NFC) along with coordinating cases.

Seidio is very good. Little expensive but generally very good.

I was searching for a stock spare battery and came across these... they have the same model number and the seller says its an OEM product.
are they legit?

Good timing, i was searching for the same thing and saw this ad as well. Not sure if it legit or not... anyone order from this seller before?

I've seen lots on ebay that are excellent counterfeits, some of which work as well as the genuine part. For example, I once bought a phone battery that looked exactly the same as the original, except for the quality of the hologram and two small typos, and it held a charge better than the original battery that came with the phone.
So it may well be worthwhile even if it's not genuine.
Hopefully they have nfc support....
A wise man once told me, "You don't always get what you pay for, but you never get what you don't pay for!" $8 for a genuine Samsung battery - when they retail at $30 for a device that is still very popular, I would think twice. Spend the extra $20 for a legit battery.
Just my 2 cents.
Well I can always return it

Ask around at the other thread for the sprint 2100mAh battery if you have a cdma variant. Im using one now and a lot of people ordered extras over there.

i always buy the cheapest batteries i can find, you can order 3 or 4 and it still will cost less than one direct from samsung and you get much more battery life total
I bought two that looked identical to one on eBay. No nfc though.. I told the dude they were fake and he gave me my money back. So I got 2 free batteries that look stock with no nfc... beware of cheap batteries from sellers in Hong Kong...

Same thing happened with me. Just got the battery. Was a fake and I got my refund. But the battery seems pretty decent in holding charge. Well see how it does in a few weeks

Will the above battery work with the standard european model of Samsung Galaxy?
I need a new ekstra battery. Don't care if it has NFC or not. I just don't wan't it to be bigger than the standard one. Please post some links to sellers if the above don't work.
Thanks.

Indeed very cheap. But one problem, they don't deliver to Europe, Denmark.
Sold my EVO to upgrade to the 3D, and of course the extended batteries aren't compatible with the new phone. Looking to sell these, thought I'd check on here before going to eBay or anything else.
I have two 3500mAh batteries, official Seidio brand. I also have one back cover. Only used one battery for a few months, the other one was used maybe once or twice at best. So essentially one is slightly used and the other is practically new.
Obviously selling these all at once would be ideal. But I'll sell just one battery too. I'll take PayPal and I can ship them (unless you'd want to pick up in Chicago). Let me know if you're interested!
Oh fyi the 3vo is a great phone but also a battery hog. You will want extended batteries for it. I bought one for my gf and even tweaked out I could get no more than 12 he's of normal use between charges.

Oh trust me I am very aware... Unplugged my phone an hour or two ago and I've already lost 20% (and I wasn't even using it). My plan is to sell these and buy new ones compatible with the 3vo.

I'll pretty much take any reasonable offer. For reference, they go for ~$50 each on eBay right now. $80 shipped for the lot?
