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.

Well, I searched a bit just now, found at least 5 back covers, which seem to be generic (not made specifically for any carrier). You can try reaching out to the seller and asking about it, you know. A good seller will always contact you sooner or later. Oh, I always use the british Ebay, you can try that if you want to, but it might take some time to ship, depending on where you live.

[Q] Battery replacement OEM or high quality.

I was reading all the post and no body says if already get a new battery replacement for the Nexus 5, I'm in the USA for vacation and I want to buy one battery for a future replacement. Please share your experience with us or say where can we buy a new one (OEM or equivalent)in a store or online. Thanks.

You will get the same type of original battery. And opening your nexus 5 may void warranty (LG services center "conditions apply" ). But for future replacement, I don't think anything will happened to this battery. LCD Screen (with digitizer assembly) should be your choice for future replacement.
So for USA, you can buy battery here is your link: (Its original battery.)

Destroying your phone for an extra 300mAh doesn't seem reasonable to me, but to each their own.

It's generally not recommended to buy a battery for "future replacement" because the battery is always degrading even just sitting on your shelf. It's recommended to buy a replacement battery only when you require the replacement battery.

Thanks for the explanation, but I have to do it because I am from Colombia and there is really difficult to get an OEM battery for the Nexus 5. So I want to take advantage while I am in USA and buy it.

Oh I see, I guess ordering it online isn't really an option from your home country? I don't think there will be any retail store with OEM Nexus 5 batteries, I think you would need to get it from a website such as etradesupply or equivalent.

You are right, we don't have a retail store who sell OEM parts or an official LG service, so I have to buy it here. In Colombia you can buy original parts for the most popular cells in the country but the Nexus 5 isn't one of them because they (Google) don't sell it there. I have to import it

I bought my nexus 5 directly in the play store, I have to buy the battery for the D820 version, for the D821 version or it doesn't matter? Thanks to all.

They all have the same internal specs. The battery should be fine, just as the screens and anything else.

If you want to buy only 1, then LG service center (with warranty you get). If you want more in quantity then try that site.

cant you just buy one on eBay and have it posted to you when you need a replacement? as someone said earlier if you buy a replacement now but don't use it for a year it will not be as good as a new battery

There are a lot of fake batteries on eBay so buyer beware.

where can I buy an original LG battery? I need to change mine... thanks

Same here. Looking for a decent replacement, knowing oem will be impossible to find.

I had a chat with LG and they asked me to send my phone to their service center in Texas... I wasn't able to ask for the price because the chat was cut off... nvm... I just bought a new Galaxy S4 again as a backup phone.

Best bet, for my money: https://lg.encompass.com/item/10389517/LG/EAC62078701/Rechargeable_Battery,lithium_Polymer. Originally posted here, Post 175.
I haven't decided to replace mine, yet. Fortunately, I can charge often and carry a power bank.

I bought the Polarcell 2450 mAh on the bay, for 23€
Battery life is now simply amazing.
Charging time is a little bit long (I don't enable the fast charge kernel option that scr#wed my previous original battery)
I couldn't reccomend it more. I can do a whole day with intense use.
Of course I use greenify, and tweak some CPU/voltage options
I use PureNexus ROM

G4 battery in Europe

Anyone satisfied with a G4 battery purchase in Europe?
Been reading the battery threads here in xda, seems you can get some good batteries but only in the US.
Getting a non fake battery is not as easy as it seems, so, is there anyone who got a good battery (via e-shopping, eBay preferably) in Europe? By good I mean either true original or performing at least like the stock one.

If you go to My Thread look at the bottom of First Post and I have listed Batteries there

I have bougth this one on aliexpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/snapshot/0.html?orderId=82125088041602&productId=32664650213

Yes, your thread is well known, but there's one more thing I should have mentioned: I have the black leather back which I love and don't want to change.
So that rules out most of the batteries in that thread since they need custom covers.
The few that are labeled slim do not ship to Europe (links from the 1st post, don't know if there's more links later in the thread which is quite big)
Thanks anyway.

Hmm sad they don't ship there. How much you think it'd cost to ship?

A few cases I've seen with batteries that are already available in both Europe and US (mostly fake ones typically marked as original in bulk form) the shipping varies from $10 onwards.
Maybe I would pay that shipping cost for a battery like the TQTHL for which many say is very good, but the problem is noone ships to Europe.

Wow thanks man, but what if the battery is problematic or something? I mean, I would have to send it back to you, effectively paying shipping back and forth, which would probably cost me more than the battery itself, and that is IF you would invest the time in such a situation.
For now I just thank you for your gesture. I will search a bit more, and if I find nothing promising maybe I'll ask you if you would still do it. In any case thank you!

Seems to be original, if you need it.

Yes it seems so (as one reviewer also says), but reviews after some time after purchase would be good. The net is full of 'original' batteries and people reviewing them the day they bought them, yet I still strive to find a battery I won't be returning as totally useless even for other phones of mine.
I am starting to think it's some kind of worldwide quality cells shortage ?

Try Polarcell battery on ebay.de from Wannsee-Electronic GmbH !
Using it for 3 months getting maybe 10% more juice from it .

That's a good I idea cause I seem to get 2HRs more of SOT with my default batteries.

I got mine from https://batterionline.no/batteri-til-bl-a-lg-g4-originalt
They have 12 moths guarantee and insurance for malfunctioning batteries (they actually takes responsibility if your device is broken from one of their batteries)
Might be Norway only tho

I never considerd the origins of the battery made any difference. I use this and I'm happy with it. http://www.ebay.com/itm/3800mAh-Ers...Mbuynow-Neu-/272619540846?hash=item3f7964116e
I know it's for the 818 but it fits well and works flawlessly.

It's not the origin, it's the destination. What good is a battery that the seller won't ship to the potential buyer's country?
Thanks for the feedback.
How long have you been using this battery? Does it last the same as the original when it was new ?

There is a separate thread in the OnePlus 3 Accessories sub Forum regarding battery. THIS is the latest recommendation there. Though they seem to sell both OEM (see its definition in the website) battery and their own battery, the second one seems ok as per the posts there.

Just wondering, how do they get OEM parts (and are they really OEM)? Because AFAIK OnePlus does not sell OEM parts to third parties ... (unless their policy changed)

AFAIK there are no real "OEM" parts of OnePlus available in the market. That is why I asked the OP to read the definition of OEM in the website. I am reproducing it in full though it is long.
"The term OEM stands for 'Original Equipment Manufacturer', the exact meaning differs in several industries.
To us, OEM means that the part is the same part used within your device, using the same materials and specifications.
We use the term OEM to cover many parts from refurbished, used and new components, the exact condition will be stated in the items description.
In some cases when the part supplied is made up to several components (for example an LCD assembly) the part may have been assembled by a 3rd party vendor using OEM parts meaning that consumable may differ (such as adhesive used)
Although strict testing procedures are put in place to ensure the quality of the part these testing practices and procedures may differ from the checks manufacturers use.
Any hardware supplied as OEM will not have any quality loss or loss of features and covered under our extensive returns policy.
As in many cases we dont obtain directly from the devices manufacturer, nor in some cases are we affiliated with device manufacturer in any way and they are not involved in the testing or sales process of the component we sell."
