Buying Battery From Ebay - Wildfire Accessories

Hey all!
I just found out my battery is swollen. It's not so bad now, it lasts a day where it should last 2-3 days with that usage. But I don't want to end up my phone exploding in my pocket.
So I'm buying a battery from Ebay and I can't simply trust these guys saying "GENUINE OMFGS LOL!!1!". I have one chance to buy as it takes weeks to arrive and I need the battery ASAP.
Anyone bought a battery from Ebay? Which one is really genuine and which one is not? Which one looks more genuine. I don't want extended batteries. I need "original, genuine, g8, wildfire" battery. I need your help choosing one

Thanks in advance.

What about Amazon? Not sure if you can access it... I know you are in Turkey, but I am unsure whether Amazon.com ships there...

This is genuine.

Amazon does ship to my country but the shipping rates are so ridiculous I don't even bother looking. Anyhoo I bought a battery from eBay which wasn't working but they sent another one, the second one is working well and I'm using it. Should've updated the thread but there was so much steam on me at the date I didn't even remember. Thanks for your kind answer.

2430 mAH battery?!

I saw this on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/HTC-WILDFIRE-...neBatteries&hash=item19c20e4292#ht_2661wt_905
want to know if it's any good.
Also... this anygood? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1500mAh-HIGH-...ltDomain_3&hash=item3f05313e8a#ht_2200wt_1139
Basically, these are just a numbers on batteries like that (cheap, chinese..)
No quality at all, i wouldn't recommend buying this.
Agreed. They dont look genuine at all and may potentially harm your wildfire.
I ordered one. I will tell you how it works after i will test it.
Cool. I was about to order one to test.
Can't wait for the little review
Sent from my HTC Wildfire
anyone find out if these things are any good?
$10 seems really cheap for a battery.
For a comparison, do you know if you can buy a new battery from HTC and how much they cost ?

Looks like that's what you're after?
hi I bought from ecell and it is good (3-4 days) original less then 2 days.
so no problems at all then?
edit: ecell dont sell the 2430mah batteries
WOW seems to be working.3-4 days instead of 1-2.Good but it could possibly harm our phone.
Usually the reason why certain items are cheap (especially on ebay) is because of its poor quality.
BUT, on the other hand, you cant always judge by comparing prices with big companies such as htc as once its in their possession its usually been through a few hands and they have to make up the extra costs aswell.
Therefore its usually cheaper because its coming direct from the manufacturer, or from a supplier directly linked to the manufacturer in the same country. And of course certain taxes can be avoided by marking the products as 'gifts' when shipping...
i've had my eye on a 3700mah (i think) battery and cover to accommodate the slightly bigger size, as im quite a heavy user and the current battery is lucky to last half a day. the size is a bit of a put off though so i might just get the next one down from that, instead.
Yeaa you're right.We usually pay for the name of the product.Sometimes no-names are on the same quality as those who sells big companies as HTC etc.
im still not too sure on this. But 2430mah in a thin battery?! Doesnt sound legit.
Anyone got the 2430mAH Battery and have some results for us ?
I received it yesterday. I charged it this morning and already it indicates 50% off. I will return it and ask for a refound.
Try clear battery stats first. Then reload. Phone Cant know the right capacity else

New Battery for GT-I9195

Hi all
Does anyone know where i can find a legit replacement battery for my phone. I look at amazon and they either look too cheap or have terrible reviews. Where can i get official batteries for about 20 pounds or less. I live in the UK.
Thanks
"Craftmann" makes not bad batteries. Check this.
Do you have a link? I heard that only the oem battery was recommended.
I bought it directly from Samsung. There was a review on a german site, which showed that 12 out of 12 batteries from amazon were faked ones.

What about this one?
http://www.ebay.de/itm/2100mah-Akku...90-Batterie-original-B500BE-NFC-/151630886545
i just replaced my battery with the oem one although i bought it for like 9€ from a local shop.
although it lasts a bit longer, when it gets to around 30% then its no more stable and it will possible have the the usual behaviour we all know dropping instantly to 20-10% in minutes etc...
anyways....is there something we have to do when we replace a battery? Are there and battery stats or something that we have to reset or tickle so that Android will "learn" the new installed battery is in place?

You probably bought a counterfeit battery.
As stated above most of the OEM Samsung Batteries that are sold are faked.

hmmm you may unfortunatelly be right....:| is there a way to identify? i guess that would be hard.
any others "good ones" like Craftmann that sb mentioned here?
anyone has any 1900mah battery to suggest please?
Not looking for extreme capacities and stuff, but one that you have tested and behaves just like or close to when we all had the original battery that came with the phone.
Someone recommended the Deji battery but there is no way on earth i can find somewhere else than this Turkish shop
I have been on TechOrbits battery bought at Amazon.com for about two weeks now and am satisfied with it. They have warranty, so if the battery bloats (which happened to the previous eBay knock-off in just one year) I could get it replaced.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M5EK96F/
i would really go down and get this one
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/39677-of...-1900mah-standard-battery-Reviews.htm#reviews
judging by so many positive comments i think its the safest bet so far, so many fakes....i bought one for 8€ and it sucks badly.its getting close to the performance my 3year old official battery had.
Having lost my original battery and having to rely on a cheap ebay battery I thought I'd try mobilefun. THey shipped immediately, battery arrived in what looked like official Samsung packaging. So far so good, battery lasts much longer than my cheap ebay option and probably longer than my original battery but I dont have any stats to back that up. Battery discharge is slow and steady unlike the cheap ebay option which I've found tends to drop off a cliff when it drops below 15%. I can confirm that NFC works as well. Still early days but the signs look promising.
There are genuine Samsung batteries on eBay, the best bet is listings that include a photo of the packaging. A seller that is closer to home is preferred as well (if your home is not China or Hong Kong, anyway).

I have the same behavior as well with my 1900 mA battery although I bought it from an official store for around 27 USD.
This behavior appeared only few months after purchase.
Now the battery charges in 2 hours and 5 minutes and lasts for 6 or 7 hours only (normal usage).

Reviving the thread with hope
My original battery is dead, she worked for a long time, she deserves peace. The problem is founding a new one!
I bought one from ebay but it's REALLY bad. Do I have to throw out my loved S4 mini cause there are no adequate replacements avalible? Someone knows a good place to buy it in 2020?
On my side I'm using a battery from Gadfull (can be found on amazon in some EU country). I've been using one for almost 3 years and for 2.5 years the capacity was good. I will get a new one this week.

I bought one from hagnaven and it seems good as well. so glad that i still can use this phone!

[Q] Reputable replacement battery - where to buy from?

I think my battery is kaput. It charges really quick - something like 3-5% per minute, but also discharges much faster than usual. And often the bar will show 60% and the next second it drops straight to 0% and the battery is dead.
I've re e factory resetting the phone and the problem is still there. I can barely can 2 hours of SOT now so I'm going to get a new battery and install it myself.
I know there are a couple of threads on battery replacement here already but I wanted to know if anyone knows a source where I can get good quality battery or even a nexus 5 OEM battery. I have trouble trusting these sellers on eBay unless someone can link me to one that is reputable. The average price I see on eBay is about $10 which is quite cheap. Some of them are obviously fake and cheap looking but some look like it could be the real thing. Any help on where to get a replacement from?
Thanks.
I am having the same issue with mine. I bought a replacement in amazon. Battery should be here soon will follow up if it solved the issue. My dad has a nexus 4 with the same issues as well. So he bought a replacement after I told him about my issue.

An Ebay seller I have used and got nothing but original parts from at a great price is usmobileparts (I use to fix and flip phones.). Very reliable seller very fast shipping and packaging is perfect. I used that person many times over ones that were a tiny bit less in price because they were awesome.

Thanks for the help. Unfortunately the price is a lot higher as well - $116 for just a battery.

Maybe give this one a shot. It's on Amazon for $19.99. This one isn't shipped from China or some random seller, so there is less risk of fakes or dealing with return problems. It's not directly from Amazon, but it's fulfilled by Amazon. So if you have any problems, you basically have full Amazon coverage and can just return/replace it very easily.

Yeah that doesn't seem right but my guess it's a holder until he gets some back in stock. But glad you found one though.
i bought one from etrade supply last month and replaced it when i replaced my screen. battery had a manufacture date of 3/15 on it and has been working great. here is the link to it http://www.etradesupply.com/lg-nexus-5-battery.html

Looking for a good battery on ebay

Hi I'm trying to choose which battery to buy for my og on ebay. can you help me? I guess that originals no longer exist and if there are they should have been made a few years ago and I think they would no longer serve

I found batteries on aliexpress.com with higher capacities as 3500 mah at reasonable prices but i never bought one as my phone still lasts a complete day. They offer free ship international shipping as well [emoji1]
Sent from my LG-E975 using XDA-Developers Legacy app
HSA ?
Just yesterday I bought an HSA of 3600 mah on aliexpress. Surely I do not have that ability, but with what works as normal I am happy. I already bought two batteries one more "original" than the other and they were of no use (very little performance). That's why I decided to buy these Chinese with Chinese brands. If you want when I arrive I'll tell you how I was. Also buy on ebay the back cover of u $ s 10, in case anyone wants to see it. I hope they arrive soon. regards

Hi!
Can you share your experiences about those new batteries? Does it really have 3000+ mAh capacity? Did you checked it with some app?
Shortly, the Argentine Customs is reviewing the shipment to release it to the mail, I suppose that in a few days I am receiving it.
Battery came, not working well

Shortly, there is no new, original battery on the market besides official channels of sales. Contact with LG and buy new battery if you still want to use that phone.
New one costs about 25€.
From my experience: i bought 7 new batteries through last 9-10 months. Various sellers, everyone said their battery was original. I tested them and there were always same bugs. Fast discharging, huge drops in %, no temperature sensor support. I returned everything and told each buyer that they are selling fake "original" products. They denied but accepted return.
After that i bought new battery from LG in Poland. White font on front surface, normal holes for screws (not like in these fake ones where outer edge is very tiny), temp sensor works fine. I also checked it with tester and it had 2080 mAh. I did factory reset and after that my phone is like brand new. So i recommend not to buy any battery on ebay, aliexpress or anywhere else. Save your time and buy new battery from LG. It's very expensive but worth if you plan to use E975 for more than a year or so.

Which battery to get?

Hi,
I have an One M9 which needs a new battery. Does anyone have a suggestion what to get? All I could find (here in Germany) was a battery from PolarCell, which did not get good customer reviews, or doubtful "original" batteries.
Any brand would do it. I'll have to check if they are available here anyways.
Thx
I just opted to buy from one from the ebay sellers that sell used ones....probably from service centres getting rid of them in bulk. The first one I got was not great, only holding around 2200mah according to accubattery. I complained and had another one sent which was much better, accubattery reading a stored charge of around 2700mah. So yeah, in the end I got a decent battery for around £4.50. (+ a spare 2200mah battery).

I just filtered by cheapest first and then chose one of the sellers that had sold loads of them....It was probably the cheapest there though. It's a lottery with buying the used ones.
Is teracell battery good enough ?
Polarcell batterys have always been my favourite battery of choice to go for!
German made (Those bastards make good products) and slightly larger capacity!
I am a new user here so i am unable to provide a link to you guys! Though a quick ebay search will provide you with what you need
