OFFICIAL SAMSUNG OEM batteries under $20

in case you havent looked lately the offical OEM batteries are now under 20 bucks on ebay. ( us / can at least )

From my experience, the "Samsung" batteries with "G7" on them aren't too great. They look like these:
http://cgi.ebay.ca/OEM-SAMSUNG-STAN...Accessories&hash=item27b750ff9e#ht_1968wt_846
I have 2 of those "G7" batteries that I got through a package deal of 2 batteries and a wall charger. The G7 batteries are strictly for emergency use now...

would you care to elaborate a little more than "arent too great"?
good thing i got a G9 EB575152VA (according to pic and model #) for under $20
G7 battery model # ends with "U" instead of "A"

I contacted the seller and he assured me that they are G9 series, however he was unaware of that there were different series, he will probably be raising the price soon.
BUY NOW before he does!

nice bundle pack with spare batteries !

found a nice bundle pack on ebay today, 12 dollars, comes with screen protectors which ill never use, a usb cable which is always handy, and more importantly, 2 spare batteries, 2 capacitive touch pens and external battery charger!
ive bought these chinese bundle packs before, the batteries work fine, cant tell a performance difference, the charger will charge the battery up to 70% faster than the phone can, but after that, it takes like 24 hours for the next 30% to fill up.. but blah, im really only buying it for the batteries

Yeah have fun, i wonder who will be the first dead.
exploding in your ear, while holding it in your hand, pwnd
unlikely, but who knows?
And who want to be the first to make this experience ?

I've always been reluctant to buy cheapo batteries on ebay for a reason.
In my Blackberry days (when I was a hardcore BBer) I could see the difference even if they said that they were OEM. They were copies of OEM, with printed lables that looked just like them. If the battery costs less than 20 euro (or lets say 25 USD) WITHOUT shipping OR it's coming from China, then I'd say no to it just to be safe. I just spent a lot of money on my phone. I'm not going to have it explode or have a battery leak into my phone just to save 10 euros.

My first and last aftermarket battery for my Nokia actually turned from white to yellow from the heat of charging and started bulging after a few months. After that experience, I decided to never risk my phone just to save a few dollars on batteries. After all, the battery is the lifeblood of the phone!

wholesale webstore for siii accessories

It's been one of my favorite sites to visit to see the different type of accessories available for my previous iPhones, ipads, Samsung phones and tablets. And a month in and the number of different accessories they have is amazing with new battery covers and bumpers now available. Also replacement screens ... at a price..
www.tvc-mall.com
Prices are so cheap you can choose multiple accessories to try out.
I've brought 3 covers so far and they have been great. Note I also brought the 2300 mah battery but hasn't been performing as well but it could be because of 1st charge but hey its only $2.35 and performing at 90% of the original battery. I'm thinking of getting the carbon fiber back cover just to be different.

Avast says that site is a no no. Geeked out as soon as the page started to load. Pass.

It sounds sketchy, just reading the OP aha.
Thanks for the heads up!

I want OEM batteries no poo poo generic for me

My AVG didn't have any issues with it.
But then I don't use the Internet portion of AVG.
Website "says" it's Norton protected but who really knows.

their shipping cost is erm........

That's it. Prices of products are good but shipping costs?
Better have a look on http://www.dealextreme.com. Shipping costs = 0,0 EUR
My first testorder was one single USB Jig for about 1,26 EUR including postage and it arrived .
My second last order with about 8 parts took about 3 month with 4 partial deliveries to complete but in the end all parts found their way to my home . The first partial delivery was a wrong article. The correct one was resent and I could keep the wrong article for nothing. Contact was good.
The last order was shipped very fast and all parts at once but its still on its way. To germany it takes about 2 - 3 weeks.

Any cases with extended battery?

I would love to get a rugged case with an exteneded battery for my s3 anyone know of any companies making them? I know trident has one cor the droid x but it would be a great addition to the s3
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S III

the only ones i have been able to find only seem to fit the Hyperion Battery door (and OR any other make thats the same shape).
however it doesn't fit the Battery door that came with my MAX power extended batteries.
the Hyperion case comes in a bunch of colors but its a TPU case, so i wouldn't really consider it a "rugged" solution.

Yea i need a tough case i tend to drop phones and dony feel like pay for the protection plan verizon offers.

Counterfeit or Genuine battery?

Hello i'm looking to buy new S2 ORIGINAL battery. Here are the photos of "Original Galaxy S2" battery, could this be original? does every single sign/thing has to be at the same spot and to be the same size as on the original battery to be so called "original"? Also what about Manufacture date that says "2015.6.26" do Samsung still produce s2 batteries? Thanks in advance.

It doesn't look original to me.
There are few of small dents and bumps on it and the finishing is too poor to be original.

I knew it... Well then i guess there is no original battery by SAMSUNG available anywhere in the world except the second-hand ones...

Here's my experience: if you really want a genuine samsung battery (which, for me, is unnecessary), the only place you'll find one is in a real samsung shop (if you buy a "genuine samsung battery" from ebay, it certainly WON'T be a genuine samsung battery). I've just bought a replacement battery from ebay which DID NOT say samsung on it (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/111803700635) and it's excellent - it's as good as the original genuine samsung battery. Lesson learnt? Buy a battery which is NOT trying to pretend to be a samsung battery (all those that are trying to pretend to be genuine samsung batteries are fakes).

I have gone through a lot of genuine Galaxy S2 batteries and I do find the other batteries to be cheaper and better. This looks like a genuine Samsung battery to me. I have have seen maybe 10 genuine batteries that come with the S2 phone and they look like that. I have also seen fake ones they usually don't put too much effort into the graphic design

It's genuine, built in chinese factory for lower cost and of course it comes bulk and not in retail package.

Alright, thanks everybody.
I sorted this problem by getting the friend's S2 plus battery (apparently he broke the phone and gave me away his battery) basically inside they are the same, it is a bit thicker than S2's genuine and is carrying a nfc text... So far it's fitting and working fine on my S2.
