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.

Came across this on eBay, two extra batteries plus a standalone battery charger for about $13 shipped. Coming from Hong Kong, but I can wait for that price. There's another similar auction for 2 batteries and a charger for $63, not sure why this one is so much cheaper but I'll try it.

2x BATTERY+dock CHARGER FOR SAMSUNG GALAXY S Vibrant
This was what I bought as well, about a week ago? Hasn't shown up yet so I couldn't tell you how they work.... but I'll let you know!
Thanks for letting us know about this!
i wouldn't trust those generic batteries...
Please update when you received them. At that price they would be great as backup batteries.

Bad quality or because it could damage the phone?
just ordered one as well. For $13, they're worth the try.

Both. $13 doesn't seem reasonable for one battery let alone 2. The cradle in that picture doesn't even look like it's for those batteries (charging pins appear to be on the top?)
Just my 2 cents. I have 2 original batteries

What is the battery number for our OEM's so we can buy another, but not at an insanely marked up T-Mobile or Samsung retail price?
I ordered similar cheap batteries for my hd2 from the same seller. believe or.not, they lasted about the same amount of hours.v. stock battery

Since someone else vouched for the seller and he has a good rating, I went ahead and bought them also. What the hell its only 14 bucks anyways. My phone wont be here until monday anyways so Im in no hurry for the batteries.
this looks cool and not a bad price. although i'm assuming people have been buyin it cuz the price is now 15.99 and not the 13 originally mentioned lol oh well. still good price. is there a way 2 get a oem samsung battery from tmo?

Cheap price and i have bought a handful of things from Hong Kong but those battery's are 1440 mAH, and the Vibrant battery is 1500mAH. I have no idea if the 1500 is the min requirement or not or if it means it just wont last as long. Just pointing it out.
just got mine in. The batteries are actual Samsung batteries, G7 which I think is the international version of the batteries. They are the 1500 mAh batteries and the charger has a USB pass through. Charging the batteries now, we'll see how they last.

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

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...

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

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.
Hey what is your opinion on these cheap batteries off ebay?
you get 2 generic 1500mah batteries and a charger for like 13 bucks delivered
http://cgi.ebay.com/2-X-BATTERY-1-C...260482?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item43a680b082
I certainly wouldn't believe them to be 1500mah batteries. Probably more like 700 or 800. I would look into any feedback they have on the batteries. Anything other than OEM Batteries are a gamble.
this works well too.

woops I ment to post this in Vibrant Assessories.
Moderator can you move it there for me please?
I got the same off ebay with a charger for a penny and 9.99 shipping. Took 3 weeks to get from Hong Kong. Both batteries work as well as my Samsung battery and the charger is fine with a usb port also.

I bought exactly this a good while back off of amazon. The batteries are probably closer to 1200-1300mah. Regardless it was definitely money well spent for me. I now always keep a spare battery in my pocket and no longer have to worry about charging in the car or at work.
Awesome guys thanks! I think I'll get them
And ya, I did find them cheaper, but they were from Hong Kong sellers. I limited my search to US sellers, because I don't want to wait 3 weeks for shipping!
That looks like a good deal. I'll have to keep a look out if I need spare batteries (I have 2 extra already though).

Thanks.
Anyone knows a good deal on these items?
I was at the T-mobile store earlier and saw a very nice package including a spare battery, a usb cable, and a spare-charger but it runs for $49.99
Edit: Found one! $9 (aftermarket battery and charging holder). I have one like this for my G2 and it worked great!!

Actually I saw one and it’s being sold by Samsung for about $24? I think. But that’s too much for me. The aftermarket battery is very cheap but I don’t expect it to have embedded NFC chip on it lol.. I had the same brand for my old G2. It worked great for over a year with absolutely no issue.
check this one out, i am thinking of ordering it! seems like a great deal for $34!
(link would have been here but apparently i cant post link till after 8 posts, lovely)

who doesnt need extra micro usb cables these days!
anyways go to Ebay and search for this item number

I plan on buying an extra battery and I wish to charge it without having to put it in the phone, is there a way to do this?
Update: I found this charger but I'm quite sure if I can trust it, I'm sure how the volts and everything work with chargers but can any of you guys verify this? It seems legitimate though

Highly recommend the Samsung - had mine for a month and it came with an OEM battery, I bought the cheap one on eBay and was sorry I wasted my money. It broke after 2 weeks.

I spent roughly $30 for an OEM battery with NFC & a generic charger that has worked fine since release of the phone. I like the cheap one from ebay because it plugs directly into an outlet unlike the Samsung version which uses a USB cable.
i got 2 of those since day one, from Tmo store / ebay
