Counterfeit or Genuine battery? - Galaxy S II Accessories

Hello i'm looking to buy new S2 ORIGINAL battery. Here are the photos of "Original Galaxy S2" battery, could this be original? does every single sign/thing has to be at the same spot and to be the same size as on the original battery to be so called "original"? Also what about Manufacture date that says "2015.6.26" do Samsung still produce s2 batteries? Thanks in advance.

It doesn't look original to me.
There are few of small dents and bumps on it and the finishing is too poor to be original.

I knew it... Well then i guess there is no original battery by SAMSUNG available anywhere in the world except the second-hand ones...

Here's my experience: if you really want a genuine samsung battery (which, for me, is unnecessary), the only place you'll find one is in a real samsung shop (if you buy a "genuine samsung battery" from ebay, it certainly WON'T be a genuine samsung battery). I've just bought a replacement battery from ebay which DID NOT say samsung on it (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/111803700635) and it's excellent - it's as good as the original genuine samsung battery. Lesson learnt? Buy a battery which is NOT trying to pretend to be a samsung battery (all those that are trying to pretend to be genuine samsung batteries are fakes).

I have gone through a lot of genuine Galaxy S2 batteries and I do find the other batteries to be cheaper and better. This looks like a genuine Samsung battery to me. I have have seen maybe 10 genuine batteries that come with the S2 phone and they look like that. I have also seen fake ones they usually don't put too much effort into the graphic design

It's genuine, built in chinese factory for lower cost and of course it comes bulk and not in retail package.

Alright, thanks everybody.
I sorted this problem by getting the friend's S2 plus battery (apparently he broke the phone and gave me away his battery) basically inside they are the same, it is a bit thicker than S2's genuine and is carrying a nfc text... So far it's fitting and working fine on my S2.

just google the title of the thread and ull find a couple of shop
seems kind of sketchy... i did a quick look around on it and can't really find anything about warrenty, returns or one single review :S personally i would not risk it. that's just imo.
What ever it is, the concept is nice. I would love to get such a cover if that really exists...cover + external batery with Off/On option is a great idea...
Look for 'EEB-U20BBUG' Samsungs original battery case for I9100.
Btw, this doesn't fit with the extended battery.

the samsung one is only 1300 mah...
but does it work with the extended 2000 mah battery
Hmmm ,I'm pretty sure I've seen one of those selling for about 25$ or something here in Baghdad.
I'm also pretty sure the capacity was around 1000 mah if the retailer is to be believed.
It looks Identical to this photo though ,with the power,button drawing my attention when I saw it.
Can't tell you anything about actual performance though as I'm already stuck with the over priced - under performing samsung 1300 mah power pack.
I don't think this is fake or capable of damaging the phone ,I've asked the retailer and he said that he tried it and that it's rather good ,and I don't think that he was lying either.
I dont think they have battery cover with that capacity... I found cases like that in ebay but the capacity are below 1650mAh
I'd definitely be interested in obe of those!
simple and great
a friend of me just bought this and it works awesome. its nice looking and battery is sooo much better
edit: its a bit different than on your picture
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/genuine-...0-extended-battery-power-pack-case-p28950.htm
mate ,this one is the original samsung power pack which is completely different.
I have this model and it sucks ,says up to 300 hrs standby ,when infact it will drain in about 8 hrs even when attached to a fully charged phone.
So tempted... but 54 quid is a fairly expensive solution to my battery woes.

EDIT_
FYI the HTC & Sprint-branded batteries & Holster are REAL OEM products...they are NOT the knockoff OEM's sold for $11.99 on Amazon & eBay that are made in China.
The HTC battery is listed on Sprint.com for over $40ea and the Sprint extended batteries are listed over $50ea...
now I understand clearly these items are used but they still work perfectly and are in great condition...
there is absolutely no way in hell I can sell everything listed above for $5.00-$10.00..please do not waste my time & yours..you know you would never sell all the items above for that price.
I am not asking for much but seriously...shipping alone cost more than $5....
if you don't want to spend more than $5-$10 I'm sure eBay & Amazon have what you need....
since these are used I'd like to get around 1/3 the listed price ($55.00 extended battery & 2 covers-$15, etc.)
I don't mean to rant & rave but some cats are ridiculous...
How much are u expecting ? The case looks promising.
pm
I would like to buy 2 asap. I sent you a pm.
pm sent but no reply. Plz reply.
I forgot I also have the HTC dock & USB cable it came with....
Back Plate Only??
Hi -
I own the SEIDO 3500mAH extended battery, and the back plate nubs have all worn off, so the plate doesn't stay on well. Would you be interested in selling just a back plate?? Let me know.
Thanks!
Hey is this still available?
how much for just the sprint battery and wall charger?
everything is still available..PM me if interested.

Any cases with extended battery?

I would love to get a rugged case with an exteneded battery for my s3 anyone know of any companies making them? I know trident has one cor the droid x but it would be a great addition to the s3
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S III
the only ones i have been able to find only seem to fit the Hyperion Battery door (and OR any other make thats the same shape).
however it doesn't fit the Battery door that came with my MAX power extended batteries.
the Hyperion case comes in a bunch of colors but its a TPU case, so i wouldn't really consider it a "rugged" solution.
Yea i need a tough case i tend to drop phones and dony feel like pay for the protection plan verizon offers.

3X 1900mAh Battery + Wall Charger For Google Samsung Galaxy Nexus Prime I9250
I kind of like the 3pcs battery pack but I think its just overkill to have too many of them. Anyawy, my questions are
Does this types of battery fit well on stock Galaxy Nexus Back Cover, without needing specially fitted back covers.
Does this type of battery have NFC support. I already asked the seller but I don't quite trust their words since they might just throw in random stuffs just to make a sale out of me.
To those who own this types, please leave a review on their quality.
Thanks a lot in advance.
I'm no expert but generic batteries like those at that price don't scream quality to me. You can get ripped off from Chinese battery makers as they can simply false advertise how much charge they put in the battery. You need to look elsewhere such as Anker, ZeroLemon, etc. Someone who takes pride in making batteries.

Thanks for the honest reply, dude. I know the downs on using such product but I'm considering this batteries and charger for its economic price and solely for backup only. I scold my wife for her frequent snap out and snap in actions back when I got multiple batteries from LG Optimus 3D, so I think this after market batteries would suffice.
Update: Sorry for again posting this kind of topic. I have refined the keywords to search from and it led me to this Topic from Accessories Thread - Aftermarket batteries for i9250 review

Has anyone bought a battery replacement for the 8.4 tab s and can recommend?

I'm looking to replace the battery in mine and I see a bunch of options on eBay that look like OEM but probably aren't. Hoping someone has a vendor recommendation
I ordered a cheap one from EBAY out of Ireland (NL myself). It should come in today. It's probably not OEM (they look like it).
I'll compare it to the old one once I have it and open my tab up.

They're the same, if you want to make sure, check the part number , like EB-BT705FBC, on your original battery. Then buy the one has matched part number and Samsung logo.
The tab S 8.4 has different models but using the same battery. Like Tab Pro 12.2, Note Pro 12.2 Wif and LTE, they are different 12.2 inches tablets, but they use the same battery and other parts.
I just installed my battery. It was 14 euro's from Ireland. I expected it to be a knockoff but it was an exact match to my old one, down to the part number. The only difference was the manufacturing date, with the old one in 2014 and the new one from Ireland manufactured in 2016, november - only two months ago!
It was a few mm smaller, which shows how much batteries swell over the years. The old one was a pain to remove as it was really cramped in the housing.
Photo for comparison, new one on the right and old on the left.

I've replaced battery in my T700 with this one:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/100...32466260763.html?spm=2114.13010608.0.0.HVMxr6
I can confirm it is original and it's working fine for more than 6 monts now. Still holding excellent, in fact much better than the original one. But that's mostly cos i changed my usage scenarios
