2430 mAH battery?!

I saw this on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/HTC-WILDFIRE-...neBatteries&hash=item19c20e4292#ht_2661wt_905
want to know if it's any good.
Also... this anygood? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1500mAh-HIGH-...ltDomain_3&hash=item3f05313e8a#ht_2200wt_1139

Basically, these are just a numbers on batteries like that (cheap, chinese..)
No quality at all, i wouldn't recommend buying this.

Agreed. They dont look genuine at all and may potentially harm your wildfire.

I ordered one. I will tell you how it works after i will test it.

Cool. I was about to order one to test.
Can't wait for the little review
Sent from my HTC Wildfire

anyone find out if these things are any good?

$10 seems really cheap for a battery.
For a comparison, do you know if you can buy a new battery from HTC and how much they cost ?

Looks like that's what you're after?

hi I bought from ecell and it is good (3-4 days) original less then 2 days.

so no problems at all then?
edit: ecell dont sell the 2430mah batteries

WOW seems to be working.3-4 days instead of 1-2.Good but it could possibly harm our phone.

Usually the reason why certain items are cheap (especially on ebay) is because of its poor quality.
BUT, on the other hand, you cant always judge by comparing prices with big companies such as htc as once its in their possession its usually been through a few hands and they have to make up the extra costs aswell.
Therefore its usually cheaper because its coming direct from the manufacturer, or from a supplier directly linked to the manufacturer in the same country. And of course certain taxes can be avoided by marking the products as 'gifts' when shipping...
i've had my eye on a 3700mah (i think) battery and cover to accommodate the slightly bigger size, as im quite a heavy user and the current battery is lucky to last half a day. the size is a bit of a put off though so i might just get the next one down from that, instead.

Yeaa you're right.We usually pay for the name of the product.Sometimes no-names are on the same quality as those who sells big companies as HTC etc.

im still not too sure on this. But 2430mah in a thin battery?! Doesnt sound legit.

Anyone got the 2430mAH Battery and have some results for us ?

I received it yesterday. I charged it this morning and already it indicates 50% off. I will return it and ask for a refound.

Try clear battery stats first. Then reload. Phone Cant know the right capacity else

[q] gold 2430mah battery for samsung i9000 galaxy s

Code:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GOLD-2430MAH-BATTERY-SAMSUNG-I9000-GALAXY-S-/190645284732?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item2c63582f7c#ht_2892wt_1270
Has anyone come across this before? Any reviews? Is this the Slim one?

I have never heard of this, but it looks amazing! Thank you. I'm gonna ask the seller. Seeming that the description claims it to be a Lithium Polymer battery it is very likely that it is normal sized. In the past I searched around and never found a lithium polymer battery for the Galaxy phones. It would be really nice if all phones had high capacity lithium polymer batteries.
My question is that something for the 19000 battery wise is the same size as all other Galaxy 1 variants correct?

Yes, you are right. After some more research @Wikipedia, LiPoly Batteries can have high capacity and can be used safely provided that you use the original chargers and not the cheap Chinese crap. BLE is not needed for them . I might buy one soon, If i do, will update this thread. Wish me luck.

Well then best of luck to both of us I'm not sure why i couldn't remember at that moment, but any i9000 battery should fit the variants.

BTW guys, why buying from this seller when u have it on ebay.com a lot cheaper and with free delivery?

Well ebay says he's got positive feedback so just keeping my fingers crossed.

Hi !
Any feedback about this battery ?
Did you received it in time ?
Is it really better than the 1500 or 1800mAh ?
Thank you

To good to be true I think
I'd also love a battery which claims what this one does at this price, but It seems to good to be true. A bit of Googling shows a review for this battery with 2/2 "average" reviews which show it did not perform as promised (but it did work). There are also some other review sites which say pretty much the same thing. (I'd love to post the URL but can't because I'm a noob. A search for B005O8S4V0 on amazon.co.uk will find this.
Also, I think that if this technology was legit Samsung would have shipped it with the unit itself !!
Pity, I was really hoping it would work. I hate it that all the aftermarket batteries I have purchased sucked compared to the original.
DG

Yep i've finally bought a 1800mAh PolaCell battery. It seemed more secured to me.
Maybe i'm wrong (I hope for those who bought it) but as you said the 2430mha chinese one is too cheap to be true.

Lithium Ion is different to Lithium Polymer, the one on the link is a Lithium Polymer
More Details here
Code:
http://jartiuch.wordpress.com/2007/11/01/nimh-or-li-ion-or-li-polymer-what-to-consider%E2%80%A6/
Basically, Lithium Polymer batteries can have the same size but higher capacity, so there is a good chance that the battery is real.
But again I haven't still bought it cause I am running on a tight budget, but I am planning to buy one when I am selling my phone so that I can buy an Galaxy S3.

That doesn't look like it could be a Li-Ion Polymer cell due to the rounded edge. Only a square edge or foil pack would mean it's a true prismatic cell which is the casing for Li-Ion Poly cells.
The 3.7V vs 3.6V already shows that most of these are using a technology better than just standard Li-Ion, so it wouldn't really be much of an improvement.
Different manufacturer use different materials for anode, cathode, and electrolyte and these Chinese companies use the cheapest ones. So you're either getting what you pay for or getting ripped off depending on how you look at the false advertising.

I heard this battery(same label/producer on other handsets) is very bad.

I think I grabbed the wrong one:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/28086765575...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_3124wt_1163
It does look the same, but 2450. Interestingly it is made in Japan, not China. Here's the weight, plus the OEMs that I have for comparison:
32.3g OEM Captivate 1500mAh
34.3g Japan "Gold" 2450mAh
36.65g OEM Epic 1800mAh
So I was expecting it to come out around 1650mAh, but it gave me 1910 the first time. I'll use it for a few weeks and run another test. Not really sure what to expect though.
Edit: This battery is crap. 2nd run at 200mAh it failed at 4 hours, about 850mAh drained. Now it's hovering just over 3.5v, right over where the phone would shut down. Trying to get the rest out so I can cycle it again, but I think it will be getting a funeral tomorrow.

Been running the "2430mAh battery" for about a week now with Battery Monitor Widget. Estimated rating is ~1300 mAh. Not great, but still gets me through the day with light-moderate usage.
For $10 it was worth a shot. At least the battery isn't COMPLETE garbage. :S

I already have an 1800mah anker and it is working fine for around $10....I am getting an oem epic battery tomorrow hopefully and I just ordered this
http://www.amazon.com/Mugen-Extende...Z9TQ/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1338532343&sr=8-2
If they send a real mugen battery that works than I will be ecstatic.

Don't buy from that seller, seller1on1 did not ship a real mugen battery instead he shipped a cheap ass 3500mah chinese battery and door you can get on ebay for $8.

This has been the strangest battery. After the second cycle I got 2300mAh out of it, but the phone was randomly shutting off. It started behaving after that though.
From what I understand some of these no name batteries come from good manufacturers' fail bins. They sell them off cheap instead of dumping them in landfill. So if that is the case, it's kind of a gamble.

Hello,
I buy my gold battery from the webstore pixinf.com they are cheaper than ebay and have fast shipping. The battery work more than 2 times than original one.
They give 2 years warranty and the battery is made on japan. :victory:
Regards

I just got the gold battery from eBay. 2430MAH along with the battery charger for charging the battery externally. It was about $8.50 and comes within a week. Just search i9000 gold battery. I'm pretty sure I've got it calibrated. With light use I get up to 13 hours so far and up to 10 hours approximately with heavier use. Amazing buy so far

Buying Battery From Ebay

Hey all!
I just found out my battery is swollen. It's not so bad now, it lasts a day where it should last 2-3 days with that usage. But I don't want to end up my phone exploding in my pocket.
So I'm buying a battery from Ebay and I can't simply trust these guys saying "GENUINE OMFGS LOL!!1!". I have one chance to buy as it takes weeks to arrive and I need the battery ASAP.
Anyone bought a battery from Ebay? Which one is really genuine and which one is not? Which one looks more genuine. I don't want extended batteries. I need "original, genuine, g8, wildfire" battery. I need your help choosing one

Thanks in advance.

Amazon does ship to my country but the shipping rates are so ridiculous I don't even bother looking. Anyhoo I bought a battery from eBay which wasn't working but they sent another one, the second one is working well and I'm using it. Should've updated the thread but there was so much steam on me at the date I didn't even remember. Thanks for your kind answer.

New Battery for GT-I9195

Hi all
Does anyone know where i can find a legit replacement battery for my phone. I look at amazon and they either look too cheap or have terrible reviews. Where can i get official batteries for about 20 pounds or less. I live in the UK.
Thanks

"Craftmann" makes not bad batteries. Check this.

Do you have a link? I heard that only the oem battery was recommended.

I bought it directly from Samsung. There was a review on a german site, which showed that 12 out of 12 batteries from amazon were faked ones.
http://www.heise.de/ct/ausgabe/2015...chgebaute-Akkus-als-Originalware-2604617.html

What about this one?
http://www.ebay.de/itm/2100mah-Akku...90-Batterie-original-B500BE-NFC-/151630886545

i just replaced my battery with the oem one although i bought it for like 9€ from a local shop.
although it lasts a bit longer, when it gets to around 30% then its no more stable and it will possible have the the usual behaviour we all know dropping instantly to 20-10% in minutes etc...
anyways....is there something we have to do when we replace a battery? Are there and battery stats or something that we have to reset or tickle so that Android will "learn" the new installed battery is in place?

You probably bought a counterfeit battery.
As stated above most of the OEM Samsung Batteries that are sold are faked.

hmmm you may unfortunatelly be right....:| is there a way to identify? i guess that would be hard.
any others "good ones" like Craftmann that sb mentioned here?

anyone has any 1900mah battery to suggest please?
Not looking for extreme capacities and stuff, but one that you have tested and behaves just like or close to when we all had the original battery that came with the phone.
Someone recommended the Deji battery but there is no way on earth i can find somewhere else than this Turkish shop

I have been on TechOrbits battery bought at Amazon.com for about two weeks now and am satisfied with it. They have warranty, so if the battery bloats (which happened to the previous eBay knock-off in just one year) I could get it replaced.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M5EK96F/

i would really go down and get this one
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/39677-of...-1900mah-standard-battery-Reviews.htm#reviews
judging by so many positive comments i think its the safest bet so far, so many fakes....i bought one for 8€ and it sucks badly.its getting close to the performance my 3year old official battery had.

Having lost my original battery and having to rely on a cheap ebay battery I thought I'd try mobilefun. THey shipped immediately, battery arrived in what looked like official Samsung packaging. So far so good, battery lasts much longer than my cheap ebay option and probably longer than my original battery but I dont have any stats to back that up. Battery discharge is slow and steady unlike the cheap ebay option which I've found tends to drop off a cliff when it drops below 15%. I can confirm that NFC works as well. Still early days but the signs look promising.

There are genuine Samsung batteries on eBay, the best bet is listings that include a photo of the packaging. A seller that is closer to home is preferred as well (if your home is not China or Hong Kong, anyway).

I have the same behavior as well with my 1900 mA battery although I bought it from an official store for around 27 USD.
This behavior appeared only few months after purchase.
Now the battery charges in 2 hours and 5 minutes and lasts for 6 or 7 hours only (normal usage).

Reviving the thread with hope
My original battery is dead, she worked for a long time, she deserves peace. The problem is founding a new one!
I bought one from ebay but it's REALLY bad. Do I have to throw out my loved S4 mini cause there are no adequate replacements avalible? Someone knows a good place to buy it in 2020?

On my side I'm using a battery from Gadfull (can be found on amazon in some EU country). I've been using one for almost 3 years and for 2.5 years the capacity was good. I will get a new one this week.

I bought one from hagnaven and it seems good as well. so glad that i still can use this phone!

[Q] Reputable replacement battery - where to buy from?

I think my battery is kaput. It charges really quick - something like 3-5% per minute, but also discharges much faster than usual. And often the bar will show 60% and the next second it drops straight to 0% and the battery is dead.
I've re e factory resetting the phone and the problem is still there. I can barely can 2 hours of SOT now so I'm going to get a new battery and install it myself.
I know there are a couple of threads on battery replacement here already but I wanted to know if anyone knows a source where I can get good quality battery or even a nexus 5 OEM battery. I have trouble trusting these sellers on eBay unless someone can link me to one that is reputable. The average price I see on eBay is about $10 which is quite cheap. Some of them are obviously fake and cheap looking but some look like it could be the real thing. Any help on where to get a replacement from?
Thanks.

I am having the same issue with mine. I bought a replacement in amazon. Battery should be here soon will follow up if it solved the issue. My dad has a nexus 4 with the same issues as well. So he bought a replacement after I told him about my issue.

An Ebay seller I have used and got nothing but original parts from at a great price is usmobileparts (I use to fix and flip phones.). Very reliable seller very fast shipping and packaging is perfect. I used that person many times over ones that were a tiny bit less in price because they were awesome.

Thanks for the help. Unfortunately the price is a lot higher as well - $116 for just a battery.

Maybe give this one a shot. It's on Amazon for $19.99. This one isn't shipped from China or some random seller, so there is less risk of fakes or dealing with return problems. It's not directly from Amazon, but it's fulfilled by Amazon. So if you have any problems, you basically have full Amazon coverage and can just return/replace it very easily.

Yeah that doesn't seem right but my guess it's a holder until he gets some back in stock. But glad you found one though.

i bought one from etrade supply last month and replaced it when i replaced my screen. battery had a manufacture date of 3/15 on it and has been working great. here is the link to it http://www.etradesupply.com/lg-nexus-5-battery.html
