Anker Battery

Emailed the Anker company about if they had the Anker t989 battery. This is what I got as a reply:
"Dear <email address removed per policy>.,
Thank you for
contacting us.
Sorry that we do not have batteries for t989/skyrocket
variant currently. They should be coming soon!
Anytime you need us, we
are always here.

Any idea if their version will have the NFC antenna?

nope they didnt say

Staff named Apple in Anker. Interesting!
Anyway they are honest reps.

Awesome. I had their Anker batter for my Sensation and I really loved it. I have been keeping an eye out for since I switched to this.

I am coming from the myTouch 4G Slide. I have the 2 Anker Battery pack with the charger (Would link here to amazon but still havent posted 8 times - Just search Amazon for "Anker 2 mytouch 4g slide" and it should be the 1st one)
Can anyone confirm if this Anker "Universal Charger" will work OK recharging the Samsung OEM batteries for the SG2? I need to invest in a 2nd battery and since Anker is late to the party here I wanted to be sure I won't ruin the OEM batt if I use this universal charger.

Most likely won't charge the Sammy battery.
Sent from my SGH-T989

would an external battery charger like one from Ebay charge an OEM Samsung battery? and i am not being redundant asking about an actual Offbrand Samsung External Charger?
so as to say i had an extra OEM battery for my T989...

Take a look at what they have to say over at the Sensation forum.

I found this one:

Great deal!

wow over 101 pages on that one lol. From the few posts i saw they said its good but i just didnt know how it compares to the stock one.

Just checked on Amazon by keyword searching, and happened to find actually Anker already have t989 battery for sale.
Here is the buying link:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006BHTA8Y
BTW, it seems batteries of this brand are gaining much popularity.

I'm confused...why is this better than the stock battery? It appears to be rated for less juice and it doesn't have NFC.

usually it has more than stock, and the battery time is about equivalent to stock for about 1/3 of the price, that's probably why people like it.

[GSM] True Stock battery Replacement?

I have the incredibly annoying issue where my phone will tell me its charging, when its really not.
Apparently the only fix to this is a new battery.
But try and find the original battery and its just impossible. Does anyone know of where I can get the official GSM Samsung Battery?
Thanks.

Nope. Anyone else?

Here is a link for you. I bought my white battery door from this place. This link is to the OEM battery.
http://www.parts4repair.com/samsung-galaxy-nexus-battery/

samsung, expansys and many online stores.

i have one couple weeks old i bought the extended one i have the back cover too let me know

shimshop the ebay seller, that sells the genuine samsung extended batteries, has both the regular battery and the regular battery door, but it is just not listed, you can send them a message from your ebay account saying you want the regular oem battery not the extended one, usually they respond very quickly and are accomodating.

Is this place reputable? How was your experience? $10 for a OEM battery seems like a good price to me.

Finally received mines yesterday from parts4repair. Their battery is NOT nfc capable even though it says it on the exterior.
Disclaimer: I did not test it out on a POS terminal, I tested it with my CharlieCard (Boston's subway card). The original battery was able to detect the card, the parts4repair battery didn't.

I took a sharpie across the nfc label to distinguish it from the original battery. I guess 10 bucks for an nfc battery was too good to be true. I'll still carry it around for when I need extra juice.

Need a extended battery for gsm GN

Hello guys i have a amazon credit and i wana use it up before it expire on wednesday. i wana buy a battery for my galaxy nexus which battery on amazon is good? i need a battery that will givee me a day with heavy usage. size dont matter. thanks for any help

I know you mentioned Amazon, but I wanted to give you an exact link to the product I bought. http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120832462058&ssPageName=ADME:L:OC:US:3160 I really like this product, it only adds a tiny bit to the overall size and adds about an hour of heavy usage. If you are going to be using it non stop I'd recommend figuring out how long the current battery you use lasts under normal circumstances then approximate how big of a battery you would need from there.

yes, this is genuine from samsung, so it does have NFC built in.Personally i'm gonna buy this in a short time .

This looks like a good deal for me but I had a question with the NFC chip. Will there be an issue with google wallet if I try to use a different nfc chip? I wasn't sure if they were somehow tied together from google/samsung. Thanks for the link and the great info!!

The NFC chip is located in your phone. The only thing on your battery is an antenna. As to the original poster: I've had this battery ever since they started selling and it's totally legit.

That's not true, the NFC is located on the battery. However, the product itself is legit.

Yeah, most such ebay listingsa are fake / not genuine / ripoffs. If you're willing to spend that much, why not buy from Samsung directly?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_EtCQH2eZYI I would think this is the same as the ebay one, although it's from Negri.
As far as I know, shimshop is a good ebay seller to get phone parts/accesories from.

Nice find.. I will pick one up very soon and wondering if there is a good universal battery charger to go along with this battery to swap out when my phone dies.

If you're in the U.S., I would say buy from Expansys since they're in Illinois. Shimshop ships from S. Korea.

I ordered a battery from each of these sellers. I ordered the one from eXpansys on June 29th and it still has not shipped. I ordered from shimshop on July 6th and I received an email stating it will ship Monday, July 9th. The shipping might take longer from shimshop, but at least he ships quickly!

nexus 5 extended battery 3830mah battery, how many would be interested?

Hi All! I came across a supplier that has nexus 5 extended batteries 3830 MAH that are plug and play.
These will replace your original battery and wont add any bulk to your phone.
They will be $35 shipped in the U.S.
Please make a list of everyone that is interested.

Well, other than not knowing the actual quality/longevity of the battery, or if it really gives 3830mAh, $35 is steep. Considering you can get it for $15.99 + shipping from aliexpress, you can pick up 2 for that price.

That is gonna be a pile of crap another dodgy chinese battery just like those gold ones that you can get for htc sensation.
Dont touch it!

Guys, LG is one of the few companies which actually makes their own batteries (through the LG Chem subsidiary). This means they can put very good batteries in their phones with little additional cost. Do you really think some cheap chinese batteries probably made somewhere on a ship can have a better capacity/volume ratio than the ones provided by LG?

my guess is the OP is someone who is selling/supplying the batteries and the first post they ever put is this waste of time, go and advertise somewhere else.

Adding that much juice, in a battery that's the same size? Pretty sure that's impossible. Nice try, though.

i guess ill have to try it out and post results.

Find this as a best priced premium quality spare battery for S3 Neo.
It's not anything special, comes with same capacity & it's probably better quality than stock one's, it comes with overcharging protection & so on. I find it on Amazon UK so wanted to share it with rest of people interested in.
