(Q) Cheap batteries + charger? - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all just wondered if anyone has any experience of the cheap 1500 mah batteries + charger bundles from ebay im sure u know the type i mean... I already have a cheap 2600 mah battery with the replacement back cover and the performance of that is good but im finding the extra bulk of the phone a bit of a drag. I went back to my old battery and cover the other night and the phone just looks and feels much sleeker... So i was thinking of maybe buying one of those 2 batteries and a charger bundles for a tenner and just switching batteries when flat. I just thought id ask to see if anyone has any experience of these and how there performance compares to the original 1500 mah batteries.
Also i saw a cheap 3600mah battery on ebay, bulky but maybe worth it if it outperforms my 2600mah which is already decent. My phone is stock and is hungry for power!
Gimme your thoughts people ...cheers

Whenever i get cheap batteries they never work as well

My 2600mah has been fine that was only a tenner but the size is too ugly. Im very interested in these 2300mah and 1950mah batteries i have seen on ebay... But everyone ive seen on here saying theyll buy one and review it seem to disapear... Maybe there exploding and killing people off lol (just kidding).
If anyone has a cheap 1950mah or 2300mah standard size replacement battery, could they please give me a review of its performance.

I bought one of those bundles. The batteries last about half as long as the original battery. On the plus side they also charge super fast when you plug the phone in. Overall for the price I'm happy, I'm never without a charged battery now.

Nice one cheers for the info... Half as long doesnt sound like what im after :-/ but very useful to know thanks

Regarding cheap batteries, it may be worth having a read of: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=65568
I know it's a different device/OS/manufacturer (Nokia N900), but the same principal probably applies.
An overview: cheap batteries from eBay usually have a resistor in them to set what capacity they report. So you may be buying a smaller capacity battery, faked to look bigger.

Now thats interesting. Nice one

The charger I use is a universal one from Gamestop that was originally for DS. It's a lot faster than the original.

Any stock sized exteded batteries?

Are there any battery that can get me a little extra juice (~1800MAh) that stick inside the stock cover?
I saw one on eBay that works with the captivate stock but it's only 1600MAh.....unless I find a bigger one, I plan on purchasing it in the near future...

Can anyone confirm that this battery fits in the Captivate? It doesn't look like it's the same dimensions at all; however, Ebay pictures are usually never what the end up being, so I could be wrong.
dont buy it. it's for samsung omnia

Yeah, I saw those on a few places. 1600 doesn't seem worth it to me. Especially if they cheap out on the battery tech, it could easily be a lower battery life than stock

I900? It states I9000 galaxy S so I'm assuming its safe and reliable to use with the captivate
ebay has 2x 1500mah batteries plus charging dock for 10 bucks, free chipping. that's what i'm gonna get. i know they're not going to give me more time per battery, but for 10 dollars, i can afford to treat them like semi-disposable batteries, only i can recharge them and have a couple on standby if i need them.
all those expensive $80 (FAT ONES) mugen batteries are a waste of money imho. the 1600 mah are an ever worse ripoff.
you're paying a premium for the privilege of being spared the horror and anguish of schlepping an extra battery around.
THANKFULLY, our batteries are pretty small and thin, so it's really not such a terrible thing.
anyone use the "EXTENDED" batteries before? how much extra life do you get? NOT VERY MUCH.
if i use my phone "normally" with a 1500 mah battery, it lasts the whole day, or around 15 hours for me.
if i use my phone "normally" with a 1600 mah battery, how much longer battery life will i get?
mah = milliamp/hour = milliamp per hour
1500 ma/15 h = 1600 ma/ X h
plug and chug, cross multiply, whatever, SOLVE FOR X hours.....15.999 hours.
WOW! 1600 mah batteries give you just ONE (1) extra hour of battery life.
the cheapest you can find a 1600 mah battery on ebay is $37.99. you can buy THREE (3) 1500mah batteries for $11.99 and free shipping.
i think it's quite simple to see that the "extended batteries" are just not that great an option.
i quite enjoy math. nergasm ;P
note: i know the longer we use a battery and the more times we charge it, it's maximum capacity gets smaller and smaller over time. i decided for the purposes of my post, this battery "age" factor was negligible.

What about 1800mah for $10 see my previous link....worth it? Think so
By your math that would be 3 extra hours for same price as 1500mah
ah, not exactly. i can't post links yet.. but there's a seller on ebay who sells THREE (3X) 1500 mah batteries for $11.99 free shipping. even includes the battery dock so you can charge an extra battery on the side while using/charging your phone's battery.
get the 3x 1500 mah. you just get more! plus if you get three batteries, you can leave them places, like one in the car, one at work, one at home, etc
i think it comes down to user preference. if that extra three hours is just what you need to get you through that last leg of your commute to home + the charger, then sure, go for it.
me personally, i was looking for a case on ebay and stumbled on that 3x battery deal. i wasn't originally looking for an extended battery
Id rather get the extended battery than buying 3 1500 batteries. The risk of breaking my phone changing batteries is high. I just bought innocase rugged. It is a hassle putting it in and out of the case. I already bought the one from ebay. 2batteries+dock charger. I don’t use it anymore because im scared to break my phone with those cheap bat. I can use the oem which has better battrery life imo so why take the risk. But the charger is nice to have.
Im not also into buying mugen expensive 1600. I might buy the 1800 for 10 if its been proven it gives more battery life compare to 1500.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
valid point. you never know what can happen with those non-oem parts. personally i like the idea of always having a spare battery at the ready. having THREE spares is probably overkill though
be sure and let us know how much more life you get with whichever extended battery you get, it would be fun to see the margin of error between real-world battery life and theoretical

1600 mAh is nothing, I agree. 1800 mAh is not bad, a definite improvement.
I put an order for the 1800mah battery. Ill see if its any good. At worst it doesn't work in which case im out 10 bucks, or 3 cups of coffee.
Im expecting it to be worse than stock so at least ill have an emergency battery.

Anker 1900mAh battery?

Hey guys browseing Amazon or GS2 accessories and I came across the Anker 1900mAh battery.
Now ive had the Anker 1900 on the Sensation and its legit a beast of a battery with extra juice, anyone used this for the GS2?
why not just wait a few weeks and buy the proper 2000mah battery??
iam sure samsung would have made a battery this size if possible rather then build extra back covers due to the 2000mah battery they have designed
basically i dont think anker could squeeze another 300mah into the battery at no extra size , its probably not what it says it is and i would go the official route , i have found all these cheap batterys to be useless in my times of owning mobile phones
to sum it up just buy the offical 2000mah battery from samsung or the bigger one from mugen if you want better battery life
look for anker 2300maH on ebay for $12-14 . buy it and make a review
tempted!
im very tempted. amazon uk has an offer for 2 and dockcharger and travel charger for £13. Even if its 80% of original battery i would be happy. But seems like a new release..not 1 review...
I would get the official samsung one but i have the perfect a leather, carbon fibre cases. would it fit in there? i don;t know...will i find an equivalent case that fits it...i don't no. If only if they had a demo version with new battery in a highstreet store i could try putting my case on,
ohh this make has had some reviews from same phone and different phones
im not advertising lol, just discussing reviews

Eug measured the capacity one of the spider foot batteries as 2413 mAh.
Even though it is well under the stated rating there is nothing that touches it for value. USD $10 for a 2413 mAh battery is a fantastic deal.

I ordered an anker battery set. should be here in one or two days will report back
I ordered it, nothing to complain but follow my feeling its not like 1900mha... same as 1650mha... one more thing universal usb travel charge need 8h to full charge( output 350mha+-50mha)
>>> with me, im using USB cable + universal usb travel and ..... im smell something from cable so i never do it again

yes, i do but its my opinion
My experience will be subjective, but I've been using 1900mah Anker batteries for the last 2 weeks. They are OK. With original battery I get 12-13 hours when everything ON! With Anker approximately 16-17 hours.
is 3500 mah battery better than 1900 mah ? increasing number of mah is better or decreasing ?

I've bought several 1800mAh and 1500 mAh aftermarket batteries from eBay and they have out-performed my stock batteries (they're all made in China, anyway). Why pay $40 for one battery at Sprint when you can buy 6-8 from eBay for the same price. Just my 2 cents worth.......
I bought three aftermarket 1500s and an external charger (it was a single purchase) for about $11 with free shipping.
They're definitely cheap and they shipped from Hong Kong. They don't output their temperature or other information that is read by battery monitoring apps, but what I gained was definitely worth the price.
I haven't seen a difference in battery life between my stock battery and my aftermarket batteries. I've used sbc kernels with them without issues, though I rarely charge through the phone.
I couldn't justify spending 4 times the price or more for a replacement or extended battery. Just keep your batteries charged via an external charger & you'll never have to worry about plugging your phone in or cutting back to save battery life.

I would highly recomend seidio they are rated the best as far as listed mah verses actual mah . They sell them online and at bestbuy. Somewhere on this site is a link to a guy who tests a lot of China Japan batteries for actual mah and price per mah. I use seidio 3500 from bestbuy platinum but it cost 69.99. It has 30days warr but it takes almost that much time just to get the phone used to it. Also, its true that that mostly come from the same part of the world but the factory rates them on cell quality and price points them based on this factor. So i would argue that you get what you pay for.
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
I agree with gentyle completely. I bought a seidio 3500mA battery and a replacement 1500mA from another company and I'll never go with anything else. The 3500 outperformed the others by 3 times even though it should technically have only a bit over doubled them.

Bought a 3500 mA battery off ebay, for $15, it lasts the entire weekend with moderate use.

Has anyone tried one of these cheapo ebay extended batteries?

Found this extended battery on ebay, was wondering if anyone on here has tried it, i know it looks hideous, but if you know your making a trip somewhere it could come in handy if it works the way its supposed to. Its cheap as hell too.

9 bucks... can't be too great,
but what can you lose? lol
Seems to me that if the larger aftermarket brands have trouble meeting the stated mAh rating on their batteries, what more of unbranded ones that goes for an even lower value?
I also still have very clear memory on exploding phones from third party batteries years ago
I bought a cheapo 3800mah and it lasts barely longer than my stock extended battery. I wish samsung made an official 3800mah version

Buy 2 stock batteries and solder them together. Works great.
3500 real mah. I didn't think the 2000 extended batteries would fit under the cover from the Hyperion I had here. I agree though, if I can solder it up in an evening, Samsung certainly could work up something.
hopefully more phones in the future will be like the razr and give us a factory extended battery closer to 3000mah.
Razr maxx when I had it for a week was sick! Hard use all day, charged every other day, seriously insane battery life. If that phone ever gets bootloader unlocked, I would be all over it again.

Have you done this solder thing? Any tips?
if you look at the battery in the phone you can see that there is some space at the top of each terminal, use this space to solder a fine piece of copper wire to a second battery. make sure to solder the batteries in parallel, positive to positive and negative to negative, to retain the same voltage.
i remember taking apart a so called 3500mah battery from ebay and they were just two cheap 1500mah batteries tapped together. Apparently in china 1500X2 is 3500.
Why does everyone want extended batteries? 99% of people have access to a power cord most of the day and just don't need it. Granted, I'm new to the phone, but I really hope I don't need to carry around a huge battery or two. Personally I'd rather charge it more often. Just my own opinion.

As long as you know that I don't see a problem. Spend $10, use it for 6 months, buy another one. Much better than spending $100 for a mugen.

How about you start by telling us where you go these batteries? As for NFC, it stands for Near Field Communications. It can be used in a way to pay for items, or bumping phones together to share information, such as pictures, contacts, etc. I am not a fan of it, I always have it turned off in my phone settings.

yeah i wish to know as well, seen these tonight on ebay and i will buy them but just wanted to see if anyone else has first. was gonna get the £6.99 single one first as a test. It does say on the sticker under the battery 2100mah so just wondering if running a 3200mah would be detrimental? or is it one of those things manufacturers do and have very large tolerances just to be on the safe side so as not have flaming s3 videos on youtube.
don't these cheap batteries pose a risk of leaking in the phone or something? Like what if the damage the phone!?

What, where did you hear that? The only thing I have seen people have to worry about with cheap batteries is how much of a charge they hold and how well they actually work. I have seen batteries malfunction due to ****ty car chargers before though but never just a battery fail while in a phone minus ghost stories from trolls on the internet.

mAh has nothing to do with the amount of current or voltage so I don't know what you mean by manufacturers having large tolerances?? And it wouldn't be detrimental, it would add to your battery life. (as long as the mAh claims are accurate)
Bought this.

these are surely too good to be true? 3200mah in a standard size?
yeah no need for a new back cover
Can anybody say something about how long does the phone works with this battery?
definitely need to get me one of these.
too good to be true
hey i just made some fast research on the seller of the item
i cant link the url apparently because i jus made the account but go ahead and check the ebay sellers' (utigertech) feedback. They are not good.
in short, this battery is fake and some user feedback states that it does not last even longer than the stock 2100mah samsung oem battery
so dont be fooled. If its too good to be true then its probably too good to be true
cheers boys
Testing of MPJ 3200mah Battery for S3
I have purchased one of the MPJ 3200 mah batteries for the Galaxy S3. I have bench tested the battery over 7 days with multiple charges and discharges.
The results are that the battery is approximately 2000 mah it does not even come close to 3200 mah. The sellor is being misleading on the mah and you are better off buying a standard battery as it has 2100 mah and NFC.
I will try and test a few more batteries in the next couple of weeks..

Thanks for running the tests. Aftermarket battery sellers are notorious for jacking up the mAh rating.

Superfake, unless they've developed some new kind of technology. Don't think so though lol

I'm amazed that so many people get sucked in by these fake batteries. There is no battery technology out there that lets you increase the capacity without increasing the size.
