[Q] non-oem Battery samsung vibrant

Hello,
i was looking for a extended battery, but since almost all of them are bigger than others im going to just buy an extra from ebay,
But..Are theses batteries as good and reliable as original one or the ones that phone store sell? Have you guys experienced any battery that sell for that low cost? (20 us for 2 1.500mha batteries)
the item number its 220679157358 on EBAY
can someone post the link plz ? im new = /

for $20 you can get a brand new original samsung battery on ebay
or for $8ish get 2 chinese batteries. The chinese batts will last a couple months and generally be around 1000-1200mah vs 1500 for the original samsung
I personally got one genuine battery and for $10 got 2 cheap batteries and a standalone charger

EBay has some 1890mah. Batts. God only knows what they really are. I bought the stand alone charger and 2 1500 non OEMs for $9.98 shipped
So that'll get me through a flight/airport and then some.
Is your phone Loki? Use Odin. You'll be Thor!

i got the charger + 2 chinese batts for $10 too... they work fine. maybe not quite as good as the OEM but not a noticeable difference. they make it though the day on a single charge and i've had them about two months now.

Anyone know if this battery would fit in the vibrant?
It is on obostore dot com website and it's an 1800 mah battery for the galaxy S I9000.
They don't mention any other Galaxy S, but it seems that the original battery is the same for the vibrant and the I9000. This one is not bulky.

Gold 2450mAh battery from ebay

Just wanted to report in with my experience of these large capacity batteries.
I purchased 2 of them along with a generic external charger and they are far better than the stock ones.
Currently been going for 48 hours and still at 25%. I was struggling to get 12 hours out of the stock battery.
They seem like reasonable quality and for around 10AUD each they are decent value. They fit under the stock cover too which is a bonus.
Anyone else using these?

Sounds suspicious. 3 posts advertising a battery w/o any detailed information? Post some pics with the battery in your sgs2 and also post screenshots of your battery stats.

I bought 1 too, thinking it was only a stock battery or a cheaper one with beautiful wrapping and it surprised me. Last way much longer than usual one and yes it fit under stock cover.

Thanks for this info ! Would you post some pictures of the battery itself and some of usage stats , please ?

Most likely it is fake. Recently I bought 'gold' battery for my old SE K800 from ebay. Printed capacity on label was almost double than original battery but in fact real capacity was half of original. So, returned to seller and lost shipping costs only.
Unfortunately physics is in full force for batteries: at the moment larger capacity can be achieved only by more or larger sells!!!

I'm actually MORE than happy with original Samsung 2000MAh battery. I would NEVER put a fake or low quality battery close to my face.

Well that confirms all these uprated batteries are in fact rubbish with the exception of the much larger 3500mah one and even that was nowhere near the stated 3500mah rating

The gold batteries from Ebay are all fake. Don't waste your time. Peel off the gold cover, under it, you'll find an under powered rating.this batteries have already been discussed at xda over and over with picture evidences to show they are fake. Go buy a jaguar for 10 bucks and tell me it's real.

I just bought one from ebay too. A gold 2450 mAh battery.
After I received it I put it in the mobile and battery snap from the market tells me the same remaining time as the stock 1650 mAh battery.. Then I peeled off the gold wrapper and underneath I found this inprint "HD504655AR 11K08NF1650".. 1650 ?? Strange coincidence ...
I opend a case with ebay requesting my money back because this looks like a fraud. I'll have to wait several days for it to close, but I will tell you how it ended...
I can only tell you that I should have read the posts here about the "gold" batteries.. Damn fakes!

Ok, so can anyone tell me how to identify a genuine Samsung battery?
My phone came with a battery that looks almost identical to eBay item 110825200405, except that mine says "Finished in Vietnam" and the recycle symbol is a bit different.
The supposedly genuine batteries on eBay (e.g. eBay item 140704498924) look quite different.
I got my phone from Orange/Partner in Israel and I'm wondering if they are using cheap aftermarket batteries to save money. Anyway, I want to buy a spare but I want to make sure that I'm getting my moneys worth for a battery that has the actual marked capacity and that will last.
Thanks.

Glad to trade abt the gold batteries here. I was abt to use a pair for myself

"Gold Batteries"
Bump.
I was about to post a big thing with a battery log that I kept for the first 5 charges of my new "Gold" battery along with how unimpressed I was and that it didnt seem any better than my stock 1250mAh. The new battery was supposedly 2450mAh. after reading the post 2 posts above mine I decided to remove the gold foil to look at the stamps on mine. I see nothing to indicate the mAh capacity on mine but after using it for a month I can say for sure that it is no better than my stock battery. I am not going to file it with ebay or anything but it sure seems like there are a lot of fakes out there. Mine came from Ghuang Dong china or something like that... lol. Anyway I only paid 6.99$ with no shipping and have a functional spare battery now so, oh well. Lesson learned. Figured I'd give my 2 cents.

Oops. Just realixed this is for samsungs. Mine was for HTC Inspire. Probably all the same though... My bad.

my 2 bits worth
Just got the ebay GOLD (haha) battery as well but paid like 4 bux for it - FWIW it seems to hold a charge longer though it charges lightning fast which leads me to believe that it is indeed not 2450mah
After having done a bit of research, mah is a tricky thing to verify - can be done with a multimeter BUT there is a device called a battery-analyzer that does the trick. So these ppl that sell the possibly fraud batteries have tapped a great market: people (mostly) without the gear or know-how to check the quality of the goods!
regardless i needed a second battery so no loss for me. Now if it explodes or something I will report here first and I will not leave my 5star feedback for the "gold battery people" just yet
UPDATE
***so the gold battery performance is incredibly poor - last less and less time with each charge***
I'd advise anyone to absolutely not bother with one of these

Can you post picture of this genuine Samsung 200mAh battery? Is the size same as 1650mAh one?

the 2000mah is a bit bigger (that is why it needs a new cover plate)
I have an 1800mah (also a bit bigger) but fits nicely in the phone.

(Q) Cheap batteries + charger?

Hi all just wondered if anyone has any experience of the cheap 1500 mah batteries + charger bundles from ebay im sure u know the type i mean... I already have a cheap 2600 mah battery with the replacement back cover and the performance of that is good but im finding the extra bulk of the phone a bit of a drag. I went back to my old battery and cover the other night and the phone just looks and feels much sleeker... So i was thinking of maybe buying one of those 2 batteries and a charger bundles for a tenner and just switching batteries when flat. I just thought id ask to see if anyone has any experience of these and how there performance compares to the original 1500 mah batteries.
Also i saw a cheap 3600mah battery on ebay, bulky but maybe worth it if it outperforms my 2600mah which is already decent. My phone is stock and is hungry for power!
Gimme your thoughts people ...cheers

Whenever i get cheap batteries they never work as well

My 2600mah has been fine that was only a tenner but the size is too ugly. Im very interested in these 2300mah and 1950mah batteries i have seen on ebay... But everyone ive seen on here saying theyll buy one and review it seem to disapear... Maybe there exploding and killing people off lol (just kidding).
If anyone has a cheap 1950mah or 2300mah standard size replacement battery, could they please give me a review of its performance.

I bought one of those bundles. The batteries last about half as long as the original battery. On the plus side they also charge super fast when you plug the phone in. Overall for the price I'm happy, I'm never without a charged battery now.

Nice one cheers for the info... Half as long doesnt sound like what im after :-/ but very useful to know thanks

Regarding cheap batteries, it may be worth having a read of: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=65568
I know it's a different device/OS/manufacturer (Nokia N900), but the same principal probably applies.
An overview: cheap batteries from eBay usually have a resistor in them to set what capacity they report. So you may be buying a smaller capacity battery, faked to look bigger.

Now thats interesting. Nice one

The charger I use is a universal one from Gamestop that was originally for DS. It's a lot faster than the original.

Is it safe use battery replacement ( not original ) on the note?

Hey guys,
Im very happy with the battery on the note, but Id love to use it further than I actually do. So Im thinking to get a 3030mA battery ( dont know the brand, maybe from Japan, I will buy it in my country ).
My question is, is it recommendable to use a non-samsung battery?. Will it affect in some way the device?. Im planning to using both bateries ( stock and replacement ) if I need to.
And will I get a noticiable upgrade in the life of it?
Thanks!

Usually they're cheap ones that don;t actually have the rated mA that it says, so unless it's from a trusted brand like Ankler, I say don't bother. Also it can be risky to use cheapo batteries.

Get anker
Had one on my i9100 for half a year and now the 2500mah with my note from day one... 0 problems.
And now they have a 2700mah version

There are many good compatible batteries and many poor ones.
Do a forum search and you will find some proven brands.

get good branded one instead of cheap ones
they work well but doesn't gives much juice as they advertised .

I once bought cheap battery for my last phone and the fluid leaked from the battery then damaged the phone!
Since then I always buy original battery for anything.
Thank god it was not on my galaxy note.

yes by all means use a replacement battery. i am using a 5000mah replacement battery that lasts almost two days even with heavy use.

[Q] Battery replacement for AT&T S3

I'm sure this must have been covered years ago, but...I have a Galaxy 3 . Love it, but the battery is showing its age. I've checked this forum for battery threads, and the ultimate choice seems to be Anker 2200 mah. However, it appears it is no longer available anywhere. I don't necessarily want a larger capacity battery, and certainly don't want to have to replace the back panel of the phone. Are there any other really good replacement batteries out there? I see tons of them, all make in China, with fair to poor reviews. Any suggestions?

RAVPower is making a good replacement battery, it has the same size as the original Samsung battery but has 2250mAh instead of 2100mAh. They are now discounted on Amazon so it might be a decent alternative.

You could always opt for the stock battery. At least it is official. With 1.5 to 2 years of use, I noticed an improvement getting a new stock one.

What do you think of gorilla gadgets battery's like the standard 2300mah one?
