For Samsung OEM batteries this is cheap... I mean this is a good price for one battery alone.
Bought one.

Nice find man! Bought 2 sets because thats ridiculously cheap

I assume you already had this delivered... Can you post pictures?... How long did it take for delivery? Any complains?

Ordered me one. I figure if I lose 13 dollars I'll be able to live with myself.

Ditto.
For $13 I expect the chargers, etc to be big POS but are the batteries themselves good quality? I still ordered one based on the fact from the pictures it appears they are legit Samsung OEM batteries.

It says in the listing: Batteries: Quality is 100% guaranteed, Not Original

Yea but it might be a different model (IE, not Original) or something...
Wish the OP would come back to the thread!

Here's a good option, which is a few dollars cheaper, if you don't need the cable and DC charger:

That's exactly what I'd like to have... I wonder if this dude would cancel the above mentioned one.

Are the batteries actually branded samsung?

To be honest it almost looks like they were built on the same assembly line without the samsung sticker. as far as long term use only time will tell but for now they seem to work just as well as the OEM

Thanks for the heads up. Exactly what I was looking for. Even bidding on a car dock.

Just ordered the item from OP. Will let you know how it was when it arrives.

I got mine and tested everything out. Everything works, except the spare batteries seem to last about 10% less than the Samsung battery. For some reason they included a strap (not pictured) that our phones have no space for as a bonus gift. Overall, a very good deal.

Best Extended Battery

What is truly worth the money? There are so many posts on batteries and people dont seem to be able to tell whats good and whats not...
Also what is a good place to get a 100% working DATA cable like the one that came with the phone. Mine stopped working.

I use the usb cable that came with my wife's LG Optimus - works great!

I didn't want to risk a no-name cheap extended battery off of eBay, so I ended up paying full price for my Sprint 2600maH and it's worked well. My brother grabbed a cheap one off Amazon and didn't have any problems with his though, but his doesn't last quite as long.

Thanx for replies I pmd you. Also where can I get a cable? mine is messed up!

You can get a cable almost any where that sell computers I have seen them at Staples Walmart almost any whre.

sprint store, amazon, ebay, radio shack. you get what you pay for. cheap is not better. get a good cable and you'll get better data rate, better charge, and a happier phone.

Completely untrue. Buy any cheap cable. You won't notice any difference. Gild plating, shielding, wrapping...it's all just good marketing.
Just find one on monoprice or ebay. If you spend more the cable may ladt longer but its not gonna make your transfers and charging faster.

Cheap can be great. http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...=10303&cs_id=1030307&p_id=5458&seq=1&format=2
They have them in other lengths too. The 28/24AWG Cable w/ Ferrite Core ones are better than the thinner ones (28/28) they have though, particularly if you want a longer length. I found they sometimes had trouble charging at 1A (when paired with a 1A charger), but even they get the job done, if a little slower on the charging. The 28/24 ones work great -- I have a 15 footer.

So far the most reliable and reputable brand i came across on forums is Mugen Power brand, you can check their fan base on facebook yourself, and read some user comments there. Or ask questions.
http://www.facebook.com/MugenPowerBatteries
It is a pretty strong community for such a product as batteries, and apparently their customer support is very good, they exchange stuff if there are any problems etc. FYI: on facebook they also give out discount codes.
And i read some of their higher capacity extended batteries make phones last at least 3+ days with excesive use. The record i came across was 85 hours from 4800mAh battery with heavy use so i guess Mugen proves the price/quality tag alright!

[Q] Is this a good buy?

So I have been looking around on eBay and Amazon for a spare battery and dock charger for it. I ran into this one which will be linked, but I don't know the brand or if anyone has any experience with this. I know they have the OEM ones, but those go for well over $35. I am on a tight budget as almost everyone and just looking for alternatives to save a few bucks, or should I just get the OEM or a different brand. I would appreciate any feedback and Thanks in advance.

I have the OEM charger and its awesome. Comes with a battery too. Don't know about the one in the link. Battery may not have NFC capabilities either ....just my 2 cents. I got mine shipped from Amazon for like $35.00. Its well worth it if you ask me. Good luck.

TBH, you can't go wrong with the Motorola charger. It's solid, name brand, and quick charges. (plus it's roughly 4.85 on amazon) The problem with ebay is fakes... for something like this.

Griffin 2A usb charger (charger only) use with a good microusb cable and you will never buy anything else again...
This thing charges so fast its crazy. And it's great quality, though expensive...
Be careful online.. Griffin sells their throw aways for super cheap in package so they look like retail products... (the upc might be 1 off or something)

it came with an iphone cable, gave it to my sister.

I got 2 Motorola car charges I got off of Amazon over a year ago. Never had a problem work really well with at least a dozen of phones of people who have been in my car and it charges really fast even on the GS3.

The one on amazon is real, the one you posted looks fake. The original motorola pushes out 950mA. Your mileage may very with a fake. Plus, it's half the price on amazon. Why wouldn't you be able to use amazon over ebay?

Energizer as long as you want " Qi " - ebay: about $25 or so....and also on Amazon...do not buy LG (Same as Verizon's pad)as it has an alarm when fully charged and not a good bedside charger nor anywhere else. Energizer automatically turns off when fully charged - no alarm!

The speaker can be removed on the lg mat very easily.

the panasonic is probably the best one, you can put the phone anywhere on the mat, and the mat automatic locates the position, you can lay two phones on the mat and the mat will charge one, when finished it will locate the second phone and charged that.
the mat is also the most expensive of them all.

It's not the most expensive one, the Zens is. It's from my country and the cheapest is 50 euro's, about $65.
The Panasonic is for $54 on Ebay from Japan, with shipping it is also $65 to The Netherlands.
Don't know wich one to get, how does the system work with lcoating the device, won't that break down after a while, sounds mechanical...

you can buy Energizer Qi on Amazon and ebay - both in USA though and latter for about $20 - shipping to Netherlands might be more expensive, but not costing another $30

i was just on ebay. cheapest is 19.50 but that's a bid price and a day or 2 to go... they're roughly at 30 bucks+ on ebay

It's stupid that the dual one is cheaper than the single one...
With shipping it it not really cheaper then buying the Zens here in the Netherlands, and it is also better looking
Really like the Panasonic one, but I'm skeptical about the detecting system because it means moving parts inside...

Looks nice that it tracks your device and then charges it.
But I keep skeptical about it, it can break down and then you got a worthless charger...

I think it depends how the mechanic is designed in the unit, i'm sure panasonic thought of that, they are not know to break down easily.
