help me finding a battery for my universal

Hi ... I'm planning to buy a new battery for my universal, but really confused, I found those two on eBay :
global. ebay. com/370V1620mAh_Battery_Fit_I-Mate_JASJAR_Pocket_PC /400094353426/item
global. ebay. com/ 1600mAh_Battery_for_Dopod_900_iMate_Jasjar_MDA_Pro/ 110474140400/item
** plz note to remove the spaces inside the links
and really dunno which on eis better ... is could u plz help me telling which one is better for me ?

It seems to be a bit hit and miss getting batteries off eBay. I went for the cheapest one I could find and it has been excellent, whilst others complain of it draining very quickly after a few months and wouldn't go for the cheapest.
If you fancy a gamble, go for the cheapest. If you want to be certain it's ok, go for the one with the 1 year warranty (a good battery should last 3 years or more).
I notice someone else has posted comments here

Replacement battery ?

Hello everyone,
Considering my battery problem (it's really really short for my little use ^^'), I'm thinking of buying one or more replacement battery for my GS2.
I saw many on eBay, I know they won't probably be official, but doesn't really matter as long as my battery life goes up
Do you have any battery you would advise me to buy please ?
Thanks in advance,
Have a good day

Don't buy on eBay my friend you could end up buying a fake.
This is a reputable online store to buy from.

I got mine from Export Prive. Was an original Samsung battery but for the Korean market. Nice to see ppl's eyes pop when they notice the words Near Field Communication on the battery.

jonny68 -> Thanks, went on that site (the french one actually), but there is the same problem, not in stock for now ^^'
Sleepycaat3 -> Thanks I'm gonna order it from there then
And have you got a good battery life with this one please ? ^^

battery price in INDIA..

i think my battery is not giving proper battery backup.. wats price one of it in india??

cost of battery
MRP is 559/- but you can get it at Rs 500/- only.

Rs 1100 /-
I have confirmed it from a Samsung Service Center in Kolkata.

I got an original one from eBay for Rs.575/-. Firstly I doubted whether it is original, seeing the price. But I got it verified from Samsung Service Centre, it is indeed genuine and giving good backup too.

I bought it for 1200

Sorry for the delayed reply mate! Missed this one out. I think he has misplaced the pic as I had purchased from the same seller and it was the correct one.

I think the ebay listing has ended.Could you provide me alternate link.Thanks

Battery should be around 499-550 INR , it was earlier available on flipkart and letsbuy but seems now its not available on both stores.
Rs.1200 for battery is just way to expensive.
Edit(20-11-11)
(OK found one Ebay seller who has stock for Galaxy 3 battery, I even sent him PM and confirmed the battery model is
same as of our G3, I've ordered one, lets hope this info helps someone).
On a side note, ebay offers 10% off for HDFC customers, you can grab that discount here)
Edit After ordering this seller sent me invoice, email confirmation of order but for some reason I was never provided any courier docket number, yesterday i got a email from ebay that they are auto-refunding this order as seller has not yet provided any shipment details
I hope i get the refund as i didn't got the battery yet.
Also all other sellers are selling this battery for 1000+ INR which is expensive and i would not go for it easily.

Siimilar Story here, my phone is about 14 months old and battery seems to be done.
Please see the post above yours it includes Ebay link and the battery details, I've ordered one and waiting for it to reach me, I am also from U.P.
To check if your battery is going bad you can use this simple check.
power off the phone
take out the battery
on a flat surface like a table try to spin the battery on its wide base
If your battery spins like a yoyo or turns multiple times easily, the battery is done and will keep on loosing the charge.
If your battery doesn't easily spins, the batt. still has its cells intact and can be used for few more weeks, months...

Price check of battery
the samsung has stop making a8 type battery from past 9 months...
so the battery price of original battery which are compatible with galaxy 3 was also compatible with 6 more phones...
and due to shortages now the persons having left with any pieces are selling at high prices...
the only options are to buy these overpriced battery or some other battery with same ratings or change the phone...
i have personally started using battery of galaxy note bought at low price but is having rating of voltages and current to be same the only thing that changes is dimensions for which you need to change the shape of compartment yourself...

At the service center, you can get it for Rs.700 . At an unauthorized place, you can get it for Rs.400-500 but it comes without warranty.

I just got my cellphones battery replaced from samsung care...it cost me 650 INR with 6 months warranty

Original Battery - normal size - Where to buy...

Did anyone managed to buy an original genuine Samsung battery from eBay? I have already received two original fake ones, one is already dead! I found two vendors in eBay whose photos of the battery look real. Links below.
Did anyone buy from them and received? real deal? Any other vendor from whom I can buy one? Before anyone posts, I'm not interested in the new extended battery. Appreciate a lot any input.

Forget eBay when it comes to batterys or SD cards, you want the original do a search on Google.
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/samsung-standard-battery-eb-f1a2gbucstd-p29442.htm
you can probably get it cheaper if you search.

Thanks, but the link you provided is exactly (or it looks like) what I do not want: a replacement battery. I want an original one from Samsung.
I go eBay, because it is very difficult to get electronics or parts shipped from Europe or the US to Brazil with a reasonable price, or get it shipped at all. Many don't do it.
Anyway, if anyone else can help... Thanks
PS: actually that battery was for the Galaxy S, not the S II, if I'm not mistaken.

mate that is an original battery 100% genuine, eBay is well dodgy when it comes to phone batterys and SD cards and the likes and is to be avoided at all costs this website is 100% spot on.

Yeah, sorry. But it looked so different from the one on my S II. Then I saw the link was for the "S".
I could not find (I've searched before I posted) a "S II" battery on legitimate vendors that I know: Clove, Xpansys... And there is none in the website you suggested.

look again mate this battery is for the Galaxy S2..

Thanks. The website is a bit wierd (it say it is for the S 2, then it say "s" right below; the image is so different from my phone battery...) . I emailed them about it and shippng. I do appreciate your input.
However, and taking into account your advice about eBay, I would appreciate any other input on the above links.
Thanks.

the eBay stores from Korea are usually legit, shimshop is good!

I bought this one recently and haven't had any problems.

i saw a thread about offical battery. you may like that.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239719

Thanks, guys.
The UK company suggested above, shipping costs EUR 23... So I'll take another shot at eBay. I prefer not risking with the HK shops. Will go for the Koreans.
I've bought from Shimshop as well, but the picture on the other Korean site I linked is more clarifying, so I'm still on the fence.
Through my experience of buying two fake batteries, it seems that the top view, where the connectors are, is the most important part to detect counterfeited goods (it was the same with HTC HD2 Batteries I bought). From both Korean sites their batteries seem like the Battery which came in my phone, with the recessed area on top (with no label), but on one site you can see as well a little recessed area (like a very small screw) inside the recessed areas on the sides of the battery. Or maybe it is just a better fake...
Let's see. Thanks again for the help.

I believe it's genuine. I don't even know which one came with the phone anymore. They both perform identically. When I run out of juice I just swap out the battery and stick the dead one in a battery charger. They both last me about a day and night with moderate usage. An hour or so of video at lunch, a few hours of music, 20 or so minutes of gaming and mostly texting throughout the day.
