I wanted to buy a spare battery for my Captivate. I went to ebay an found many OEM Batteries sold at a cheaper price compared to the one sold on Samsung shop.
Are there any difference in quality between these OEM and Original batteries?
Please help me out. Thank you!
correct me if i am wrong, but don't OEM and original both mean the same?

Keep in mind, that even though the eBay batteries say "OEM" - it has been shown that they are not original samsung batteries. These Hong Kong sellers list everything as OEM - usually they say "an OEM battery manufacuter" - implying that the batteries are made by "somebody" that makes original equipment for some manufacturer.
I don't want to scare you; for $3 apiece the batteries work well, but many have been reporting occasional reboots or batteries that only charge to 80%. Even the ones that say Samsung are usually knockoffs.
I bought one of the Samsung batteries from Ebay. I was not sure if it was a knockoff that looked real or not and really still don't. It does outlast my original battery though. Neither are great but for whatever reason I get better performance out of the Ebay one. It is dated July 12, 2010 and the one that came in my phone is dated Nov 10, 2010. I crush them both daily as I stay on the phone and internet a lot. I'm ordering another one.
Nifty idea
Do this. I went to ebay and typed in "Samsung Captivate battery charger". For only $8(including shipping) I got a wall charger for my samsungs batteries AND TWO batteries! They came from Hong Kong but both after-market batteries last as long or longer than the stock battery. That and I haven't plugged my phone into the wall since the end of August. I have a battery in the wall charger while I'm not using it and when the one in my phone is about to die I simply change the batteries and put the dead one on the charger. I keep the third fully charged and in my car. It makes life sooooo much easier and I never have to worry about a dead phone no matter how much I use it which is a lot! I have done the same for my Nexus One and totally recommended this to anyone, heavy user or not. Lets see you do THAT iPhone!

I'd appreciate hearing as well. So far he's only sold 36. Most of the few complaints have to do with non-receipt.
I ended up getting the desktop charger and it comes with another battery from Samsung its 49.99 and i used a coupon code "mobile10" gave me 7.50 off of the final price. I used to get ebay batteries for my nokia and they would all discharge Outta the blue like i had 80% then just shut off and when I would turn back on their say 5% or so.

Yeah, it is not the original battery. It's a generic one. I hope this works well as the original ones. I heard complaints (from AMAZON.com) about that certain generic batteries that can't charge from the phone; can be only charged using the provided charger.
I hope this is not the case. I really need a spare battery with an external charger.

What rom are you using? I'm constantly online/tethering as well as listening to music and I get a minimum of 12 hours out of my battery with Cognition
I just got in the two batteries! I really like it so far but too soon to tell I guess.
Ran into my first issue. As nissy86 said, I can't charge from the phone - it turns off completely after leaving it charge for too long.
I'm quite happy with my purchase! I can charge from the phone, but if I leave it too long at 100% it shuts off. Otherwise, works perfect. I am just leaving the OEM batter in the phone, and keeping the two around as needed and I am happy
Found this and thought I'd share,

That looks scary similar to the Mophie Juicepack Air case for iPhone.
I'd be concerned about the quality, though, especially at that price. And there's no way you'll find a review on that.

Thanks +
been waiting for something like this
but with 3000mAh or more,
Im sure there will be more soon
I have similar but for my Note & better
cos mine is slimmer & doesnt have that Snap top
so can pull it out faster & is slim on the top
& it claims 3000mAh battery on it
but gives me only 70% of refill charge
Note has 2500 & case 3000 still doesnt give one full charge
yours has 2200mAh battery & S3 has 2100mAh on it
wonder how much more juice it will give
Also the lights on bottom get anoying aftre a while
wish it was behind the case
True that, but might get one anyway, as I also have an external power pack and a replaceable battery.
But never thought of those things, thanks for the input
Edit:
thought what the heck and bought one, doesn't exactly cost much. When I get it ( in about two weeks! ) I'll do a little review on it like how much of the battery it can charge etc.
Was thinking about the capacity but I wouldn't want anything much bigger than that tbh

What i did was drain the full Battery
then charge it with Power case
& see it charges the phone how much, 60/70/80%
On my Note it was just 60/70% not a full charge
I'll never understand why people go this route instead of just carrying a spare battery. It makes your phone look like the hunchback of notre dame.

hahhahha
nice one
Recieved one on the 2200mAh cases yesterday (Power Bank).
(link: h**p://***.ebay.co.uk/itm/2200mAh-Backup-Battery-Charger-Power-Bank-Case-Cover-For-Samsung-Galaxy-S3-I9300-/280916343518?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item4167eb3ade)
Charged it up (came about 2/3 full) and then let my S3 run down to flat (quite hard now I'm getting 20 to 22 hours out of it).
Started charging and it got to about 50% in 3 hours before it ran out..
Considering the phone was on and, based on previous discharge rates, was using about 5% an hour, the total charge was about 65% (if i'm being generous).
65% of an S3 battery @ 2100mAh = 1365mAh.....
Not too bothered at the cost (or size - S3 is way too thin as standard for my liking), but was hoping for a lot more from it..... For the bulk it adds, and the fact that you can't sync or charge the phone while the case is on, is a big negative for me....
Maybe my hopes were too high having come from iPhone battery cases which almost lived up to their advertised power ratings as well as allowing you to charge case & phone at the same time and sync through the case....
Just thought I'd share my findings...
Hope it helps others looking for a similar case.
I like the heftier size of the phone after fitting the extended battery, fits my hands much better. I hope that they come up with a flipcase though because obviously the original won't fit anymore. I don't understand people who just buy a case for the back because you can buy another back very easily. The front however is a different question. If you don't protect the glass, it will scratch and can even shatter when you drop the phone.
As often as I am checking/using my phone, it's not worth it to me to get a flip case. I would go mad having to flip it open countless times an hour. A good back case will also (albeit slightly) protect the front

Any reviews from xda user about TVC mall Mobile charger?
Hi guys, has anybody of you tried changing their N5's battery? If you did, where did you get the replacement?
My N5 has been showing signs of severe battery degradation. It's easily discharged. I'm finding myself charging it two to three times a day. Even on standby, it discharges a lot even there's no wakelocks I'm seeing from betterbatterystats app. Its been a year since I bought our N5 so I guess it's time to replace its battery.
I'm seeing some batteries from eBay but would like to know from where you get yours and how's the quality compared to the original default one.
Thanks.
I would also like to know that, as mine discharges pretty quickly as well.
im pretty sure google is still doing RMAs for the nexus 5. Every nexus 5 owner gets one free RMA. if you cant find a replacement this might be the next best thing

I just swapped mine out 2 days ago. Went from 2hr SOT back to 3. The swap took maybe 15-20 minutes using these instructions.
Thanks for the recommendations/links guys. But since those have high postage, I bought instead from eBay which has free postage to my place. It also includes the repair kit.

Hi,
I am just wondering if your battery was really genuin . Also thinking about replacing.
I also want one, my battery was ok but I was using a 4amp usb plugable dock to charge it and I noticed it the battery has significantly lost its charge now, its best to use charger or usb pc port.
Im looking for a oem battery but made atlease in the last 5months,I've seen some around a year old,
Currently looking at polarcell batteries, haven't seen any bad reviews,possibly more capacity and german made

Well i went ahead and ordered it already. Waiting for it to arrive could be here any day now. I don't have any problem with my current battery now but I'm hoping the extra capacity would give me more freedom because sometimes I'm away from home and don't have access to a charger. Also it's German brand and I'm hoping it turns out good [emoji6]

Just to update on my purchase, got it and installed since Feb. Been two months and I can say that it is as good as the original.
Only had slight problem prying open the back cover of my N5 during the process of replacement due to my clumsiness?. Got two small cracks now on the sides of my N5, near the volume area and power button area.

I'll definitely share my impressions when it arrives, I'm starting to get a bit concerned right now as it's been more than 3 weeks since I've ordered it and it still isn't here yet. Usually shipments inside Europe are completed within a week. Also I've noticed a very strange thing, the listed price for the polarcell battery for Nexus 5 is $140+ now, i purchased it for $25 bucks and it's crazy how the price jumped this much!!! All other plarcell batteries for other phones are around the same price as the one i purchased, only the nexus 5 one is listed $140+ [emoji15].

This does QuickCharge 2.0 in AND out: http://www.amazon.com/Qualcomm-Certified-Aukey-10400mAh-Supported/dp/B00UBDI7EC
It's pretty compact too. I use a lot of Aukey products; at first I thought they were a knockoff Anker but they're just as good.
There's also this one with the same capacity, but it's longer and has two ports and an LED flashlight. So it's basically same capacity, but do you want portability or flexibility.
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B011U0AY22?psc=1
So it should charge your battery as fast as the ASUS charger.

Nothing is ever completely "non-removable", mate.
Easiest solution would be a usb power case, although i haven't seen any for this phone so far.
Changing the battery on this phone is a fairly simple process, especially if you have fixed a phone before. The toughest part is the glue, but a little heat goes a long way. Just fixed the screen and changed the battery on a Mate 2, and I think that's a little more complex than the ZenFone 2. The biggest challenge would be finding a higher capacity battery that the firmware would recognize.....and that would fit.

The only company that I think would make an extended battery for this is ZeroLemon. They are the only ones I've seen to use creative shapes to take advantage of extra room in the Z dimension. The only thing that would stop them from taking it on is plain economics. They would have to see that this phone is not only popular enough, but also enough nerds like us to justify dumping resources into R&D for it.

hello all,
was wondering since, zenfone max has the same dimensions as ZF2 would it be possible to port the 5000 mah battery on to ZF2.
Thnx
i would love to have my battery capacity change too.. if there is anyone that can know about this its asus..
Guys, I had never see replacement battery for non-removable battery products..you can wish for battery-covers but I don't get the point, the phone in already very big and heavy (170 grams are already a lot), if you increase battery (and it's not possible in the original case, maybe only Mugen is able to do this, but I don't think they will produce a battery for a non-removable product) it will will become a brick and you can use it to build your new house Seriously, I think it's better to buy a powerbank (I use the Xiaomi 10400 and it's great). Asus won't release a new battery for this phone, removing the original battery you will void warranty. For me, no chances.
I am considering the zenfone 2 as an option for my next phone. Thing is, i dont like the idea to have after 2-3 Years get rid of the phone because the battery is gone.
I searched the web and didnt find a original or third party replacement battery.
Is that possible? Any Ideass guys?

This should be official Asus parts reseller http://www.asusparts.eu/partfinder/Asus/Mobile/ZenFone/ZenFone 2 ZE551ML#Battery
Hey Marco!
You made my day! :good::highfive:
Thx for the link!!
Greetings from Germany . . .
Doesn't matter if you see the point or think the phone is already too big. I want a battery case much like the ZeroLemon case for the Galaxy Note series. I dont care how big or bulky my phone is, I have huge hands and I would prefer to have a phone that lasts two days instead of one that looks pretty.
I myself have looked for either a bigger battery, or a case, and have found nothing...
Unfortunately the only solution would be to carry a power bank of some sort. I guess the phone isn't that popular .

I purchased mine in AsusParts, took 2-3 weeks cause it ships from Asia to Europe and then to your country, installed and everything works fine ATM.
Before, I tried at AliExpress but they sent the wrong battery, I think Zenfone 5 has the same battery with a different connector (check my thread about screen replacement in Q&A section for more info)
Yeah, I have tried to find something like that without success.
Hi everyone,
I've been thinking about replacing my battery and a quick search on Ebay led me to find some sellers who claim to have a 3700 mAh batteries.
Now my first response is to not trust these batteries and just get an original one, which I probably will, but I'm really curious if anyone here has tried one?
Here are a couple of links to these 3700 mAh batteries:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/3700mAh-BL...652403?hash=item2cd4142a73:g:wjEAAOSwsxJa9Isl
What are your thoughts about these?
Don't get any battery that isn't a OnePlus Battery. If you have a choice, never go for the battery that is advertised with a different amperage.
Go for a 3400mAh battery, better if it's a OnePlus original. Since our devices uses Dash Charge, which is only on OnePlus devices, it's best to go for an original, since we cannot know what effect DC will have on third party batteries.
Unless your battery has degraded lower than 50% and you need an emergency replacement till your original arrives, these batteries should not be trusted. There even may be a risk of high thermals and degrading your other phone hardware too.

Exactly my thought. Was just wondering if anyone was mad enough to actually try one of these. You never know, maybe they are unexpectedly good :silly:
Can you point me to any original OnePlus battery replacement?

Ditto, I judt called OnePlus (US support line) and they told me they don't cell the battery or any replacement parts, I would have to send the phone for service to their authorized center.
So does anyone know where I can an original, third party seller one?
I purchased this one a few weeks ago, can't fault it!
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/152704815983
I think they sell via a website as well.

Have a look and read on the product page of their website:
https://www.replacebase.co.uk/for-oneplus-3t-replacement-battery-blp633-3300mah-oem/
All I can say is, it's better than the tired one I took out!
I just replaced my OP3T battery with a replacement from here:
https://www.mobilesupplies.nl/oneplus-3t-batterij-blp633-3400-mah-origineel.html
It says it's an original and so far it works like a charm. Will report back on how it performs.

What does the difference between "rated" and "typical" means? I don't understand.

Rated means how much it is designed to have, and tested is the actual amount of MAh in the battery. With every battery there is a difference between rated and tested. 3300MAh tested is actually really good.
I wonder how much the original batteries are tested for.

In their page, they say "Capacity: 3300mAh (rated) 3400mAh (typical)"
BTW, does anyone notice that after replacing the battery, the AccuBattery app is completely out of whack?
I cleared the data to get some clean info on my new battery, but after two or three charges, the app sees my new battery as ~2500mAh and with every charge it's rising. (My last battery was calculated as ~2800mAh)
So far it seems that the battery lasts longer, so the data from the app is conflicting...
I know that the AB app data isn't really reliable in comparison to real measuring equipment, but I'm just wondering about this.
I have replaced it, but it says that it have 0% charge, and doesn't charge anymore. Any help?
Edit: The seller have sent one more to me; it's corrupt, they say.

Ok. The new one have arrive and I have the same problem. Was your replacement plug & play? Were you on OOS?
Both batteries shows 0% battery when I attach them.

In my experience non-OEM batteries start to degrade after a few months. How has yours held up? I'm looking to replace mine if I can find a genuine OEM part.

The one I bought is supposed to be genuine, it even bears a OnePlus logo. But the first died on me in a week or two, so I got a free replacement from them, and so far it fares great. AccuBattery reports it as being well above 3000mAh, and I can reach the end of the day with my phone again, so I'm quite happy.
so why does everyone praise oneplus for their easy to repair devices and parts and build quality and all, if I can't even buy a replacement part? I'm forced to buy a new phone because my battery is broken. So next time I will go and buy a Samsung. Harder to open and all but I can buy a original battery in any other store.

There are plenty of stores that sell original batteries. And a plethora of non-original batteries to choose from too.
I just send my phone back to OP and have them replace the battery under warranty (It's covered.)
