Hey all,
As you know the Galaxy S 4G, Giorgio Armani, and a few new Galaxy S phones all have 1650mah batteries that fit in our VIbrants perfectly.
A person in the I9000 has located a store that sells them and is now relisting them on ebay in batches of 5 every one or two days.
If you want a replacement battery, this is a GOOD one. It offers 10% more juice over the stock battery you have and fits WITHOUT any additional battery cover or anything. It is original straight from Samsung
Price is 26 Euro which currently translates to $38.50. It is shipping from Europe.
Enjoy. I just bought one

so how was it?

Yup. Most of the China made batteries are much more cheaper than this & have better capacity. However, some are not in full capacity as listed but some are like Yoobao, Kingmax & Momax.
However, I may get one Samsung Galaxy SL battery 1650mAh in my place here for around USD15.00 only. I bet it can fit into our Vibrant.
Where is that you are getting the 1650 mah battery for $15?

Yup. I got the offer from one of the mobile phone shop here. However, after double check with them that the Samsung Galaxy GT-I9003 battery can't be fixed into our Vibrant due to the size is a bit thicker. Same as GT-I9003 thickness is more than Galaxy S GT-I9000 & Vibrant. No luck I guess.
Please confirm that you can charge the battery. A lot of other batteries, from the 4G or Fascinate, for instance, will work for the phone, but will not charge.

Anyone want to set up a group buy? I want to buy.it but don't need 3.
Dang! Nice find there. That seems to be original which is good.
I'm thinking of creating a group buy for these. I already have mine and it's great so I will either a. Buy 10-15 and resell them invidually on ebay for around $15-20 with the shipping included or b. Get orders here and split the cost.
That is if enough people are interested of course.
Just a quick note, that site has 2 batteries.for the sgs 4g with one being aftermarkwe(the one for 8) and the other being oem, which os.on the site for.20. Anyone know what the difference is between them?
I am in for a group buy, but like some one mentioned will there be a problem to charge these batteries in Vibrant?
No. The batteries WILL work correctly for charging.
get 3, a laza wall charger and you will never plug it in again ...except when transferring files

No offense, but I'm almost totally certain that this is not a Samsung original battery. The Spanish translation is absolutely wrong and literally makes no sense. Compared to the factory battery, which is correctly translated, it is glaringly obvious. Samsung has better translators in Spanish than the Chinese factory that cranked out these reasonably convincing fakes. They have improved the look of the label itself, but the tell-tale faulty translation is still there verbatim from the Chinese fakes that I bought myself.
Well you are wrong. This is from the i9000 forums. The guy is a regular xda member there. Pretty sure they are legit.

Well.. I have to ask the obvious question:
Is this guy from the forum fully bilingual and has he personally examined the point? I have both batteries myself, so I speak from experience, and it makes no difference to me on a personal level, but what I'm saying simply is true. The fakes are poorly translated. The factory originals are correct. I'm not trying to pick a fight. Just a public service announcement, so to speak.
I don't think they are OEM batteries.
Why don't these batteries show how many mah they have?

That's one of their multiple flaws which distinguish them from the originals. I think, as I recall, the do have a rating, but it's not accurate. They also should have a serial number, but these are fake also. Both mine are identical in serial number. Like I said, I'm not looking for a fight here. I'm simply trying to make sure that anyone who buys this knows what they are getting.
I bought two and complained about my list of problems, which I've not enumerated in total in this thread, and they were rather minor, considering the price, but because the item was falsely portrayed as Samsung, the seller refunded my purchase price, plus shipping.

I have read that before..are really that good ?
Whats the different between a 1550 mAh Mugen Power battery for 30$ and a random 1550 mAh battery from eBay for 10$?
some ebay sellers sells unbranded or fake batteries (would say 1800mah but is actually 1300 etc..), usually with no return/exchange policies specially the cheap ones like 3 pcs for 10$.
mugen pretty much you get what you pay for.
Man that's nice
I don't have issues with the stuff I got from them. I saw on their facebook page that they change the batteries if they're working...which is good and they have 1 year warranty on stuff. So far I'm going with them. Got 2 days on average usage on my Nexus
looks like I found the answer to my question. will check them out, thanks!

Personally for me the big difference is their brand presence across all available customer service channels (twitter, facebook, email, phone etc...) and high quality. I'm using my 4th battery from Mugen at the moment and totally happy with it and with their service.
Also I received a reply from their rep that actually makes sense - they say that their price allows them to give all the listed services to the customers, and it is simply not possible to make a good battery for 10$ using top technology and aftersales support.
Anyways, there's many info here about them, you can research a little.
While it would be nice to have an extended battery, I wouldn't want to make that change because it would make my phone heavier and clunkier with the extended battery backdoor. Another big downside is that my case wouldn't fit anymore. To solve my own battery-life issues I keep a Duracell Powerhouse with me when I know that I'm going to need extra juice.

You can always choose a slim extended battery that fits your original phone socket and does not require an extra back.

I have heard that the "extended batteries" that are the same size as stock are counterfeit in the sense that they don't actually offer more capacity. Lots of scams and shady companies around extended batteries...
It's 'Moogin' baby. Seriously, this is just a name tag being placed on the battery. It looks too ugly for me to put it on my Skyrocket.
will check them out, thanks!
Mugen Power batteries are great if you can afford the entrance fee. Yeah, it's not some cheap knockoff from Ebay, but the quality and battery life is worth it. I recommend them. Here's a review I did of the extended batteries on the T-Mobile G2 if anyone's interested

Plus one for Mugen from my side. I've been recommending them for quite a long time now. Some experience to share: ordered a battery from them a month ago and nothing got delivered. I contacted them on facebook, and it turned out that the post lost my parcel...I was a little nervous cuz there was more than 150$ in it, but Mugen replaced all of it in a matter of days. Not just great batteries but awesome support as well.
Very good battery. Works flawlessly.

4500mah????? That is immense!! I will wait for the pics before I make any judgement.
Sounds about right.
Mugen's extended S II battery is 3200, and the stock is 1650, so it's roughly double.
The downside, of course, is good luck finding a case.

what about this one? .ebay.com/itm/X2-Extended-5000mAh-Battery-Cover-Samsung-Galaxy-Note-GT-N7000-i9220-New-/320813533206?pt=AU_MobilePhoneAccessories&hash=item4ab1fa0816
its 30 bucks for 2x 5000mah batteries + covers.. wtf? there has to be a downside
I like...Well, maybe a little fat.
There are several reviews for this battery out already and the general consensus is it's pricey but well worth it - especially compared to cheap Chinese batteries that tout the same capacity (or higher). I think "you get what you pay for" definitely applies here!
I've never tried one of those Chinese batteries but I have just received the 4500mAh from Mugen and will post another review to add to the bunch in a bit.
Yes i have heard!Interesting News! they are available for order from 20th of april according to mugen facebook
Meanwhile i have found a good review in pictures for the 4500mAh version:

If you looked at the ebay link you would see that the OP is asking about a GSM version battery, which.....Verizon does not sell cause it's not operating on a GSM network.
To answer the OP's questions, they appear to be official, and they do not come with original packaging, indicating perhaps that the seller (who is in South Korea) got these batteries somehow from open boxes of GNexi that come standard with the 2000 mAh extended batteries in Korea. I am waiting to get the 2000 mAh batteries from a US based store once they are available. But the batteries should work but they are not in packaging so may have been used?

you need to order the cover, the standard cover will not fit.
So how much did it cost in dollars to buy one from gmarket?
$46 shipped to Los Angeles with a cover.
Did you get charged for international transaction fee with your bank?
Just Realized that there is probably no case for the 2000mah bundle.

Yes there is....you can purchase an incipio silicrylic from Verizon. The Verizon phone is slightly thicker and when you use this case on the GSM version with extended battery it fits perfect.

all of the ones your find won't have better performance. in fact, they will probably be worse, because they're nothing more than cheap knockoffs.
do you really think some unknown Chinese company can pack more power into a battery than Samsung? the answer is no
Only batteries you'll find that fit the original back cover, mildly extended and are not cheap are hyperion 2200mAh batteries on amazon. Look em up and they have reviews on YouTube.

Just understand that asking for a higher capacity battery the same size as the original is like trying to put 2 oz. of water in a 1 oz. cup. Ain't gonna happen!
