Samsung Batteries on EBAY (OEM vs. Generic)

Anybody have any experience with the Generic batteries on ebay going for about $5.00 each. Are these classing "you get what you paid for" or are the oem version just way over priced?
Please advise.
Update:
Purchased two batteries + charger (non-oem)... They last half as long as the Samsung OEM.

I bought 2 batteries + usb cable + charger + car charger for $8.99 (+$3.99 shipping) http://cgi.ebay.com/2x-Battery-USB-...863749?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3f02cc0145
I knew they where not OEM or even not Samsung (like the picture). But they work fine. I have no complain.

@floppy - Does the car charger put out decent amperage? Or is it slow like USB? Also, the picture makes the battery charger look like a monster - is it as thick as it looks? Can the USB port be used to charge a phone while it is plugged into the wall?
thanks!

If you are looking for a decent car charger, get the Kensington PowerBolt K39224US . It puts out 2.1 amps and fits flush in you cig lighter...

if the wall charger is anything like a previous one i've owned, the dock charges the phone and/or a standalone battery... maybe at the same time, but probably sucks :\

Does the battery charger in this package come with its own AC power adapter or do I need to use my Captivate USB charger (or other) to charge the batteries? .

If you look at the additional pics on others and read the specs, you can see the AC prongs on the back of the charger.

you guys know if we already have review of that in the main SGS forum
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=733705

Also, if you read through the random shut-down thread, one of teh posts says Samsung is blaming the shut-downs on a charger/battery combination. It would be interesting to see if the aftermarket replacements cause such a problem or if its just a line of crap from Samsung.

I got 2 of the aftermarket batteries along with a charger and they seem fine.
not as good as OEM but do a great job as a backup.

I'm sorry I can't answer your first question because my car has an usb port and I don't use the car charger I received with the bundle.
About the size, it's not really bigger than the battery and yes you can charge your phone trhu the usb cable when in the same time your are charging a spare battery

Mine just shut down with the ebay battery.

I bought batteries for my Samsung, works fine. The package I bought has docking for an extra battery so I can have one fully charged at all times.

Like this? I thought since it has a usb port, it will charge at the same super slow usb speed?

Nope - the port shape doesn't mean anything. The factory charger has a female USB end and it charges faster then a PC USB port.
Keep in mind that all testing (even with an ammeter) shows that the max current the captivate will draw is about 700 mA. There is no reason for any charger that puts out more then 1 amp.
I bought the Griffin power bolt that has 2 1 Amp USB ports - so i can charge 2 devices at once. Also, most car chargers (with just the uSB port - no cable) need to have the data pins shorted or the phone will only draw 500 mA.
There are a couple threads in the Vibrant and i9000 forum that document all this. I modified an extra cable myself and now my phone sees my 1A car charger as an AC charger.

I just got these along with some other stuff.... the charger. The led is red when charging or when complete?

red when charging, blue when fully charged

Does anyone know if this kind of battery is gonna HURT your phone? I know that it might not last as long as the OEM one, that is fine. Just worry if this kind of battery can get over voltage some time that can be bad to your phone ... Anyone confirm about that? Thanks

I see this on the samsung site, 10 bucks more yields you a stand + charger.
Not bad...I am still debating. Wish it was a dock instead

[Q] Galaxy S II Charger

What is the output for the Galaxy S II charger? Is it the same as for GSI, i.e. 5V-0.7mA?

Yes its the same.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App

Also, I have a bunch of 5V - 1A chargers lying around that I use for my Nexus One. Can I safely use them with the Galaxy S 2 ? (I think I can but I want to make sure bedore risking a brand new 600€ phone)

Should be fine the phone should only use the amount of amps it needs

I wonder why it is so weak? Why not use 1 amp as most phones use these days, for a faster charge?

Hi Guys,
Totally stupid noob questions here but mine should be arriving tomorrow from the UK and I'm wondering if my old iPhone USB charge would suffice;
My iPhone charger (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2119590/iPhone Charger.jpg) reads;
10W USB Power Adapter
Input: 100-240V ~ 0.45A (0,45A) 50-60Hz
Output: 5.1V [weird symbol like a solid line above three striked dotted line] 2.1A
Is this suitable?

Don't worry. There is industry standards, all USB chargers interchangeable with each other. All they have 5V voltage, just current varies. The phone takes current how much it need.

I find mine is charging VERY slowly with USB/AC chargers and some of the Motorola ones I have lying around I can't use the one that came with the phone because it's a UK plug and, well, I'm not in the UK!

The slower it charges the better for the lithium battery in the long run. Search on google.

Find a micro USB charger that can give at least 1 Amper current. PC's USB socket usualy gives max 0,5A and it is not enoughf for normal charging.
P.S.
you can buy adapter like this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/USA-UNIVERSAL-T...259905?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item2310799941

I'd go with OEM chargers for the i9000 / Fascinate / Captivate / Vibrant because the OEM chargers have the data-pins shorted which tells the phone to go into AC charging mode. That helps a lot in charge speed because the phone will pull more current.
on ebay they are pretty cheap.

I'd rather it charges fully in 90 minutes and then replace the battery after 24 months, than wait 135 minutes on every charge and replace the battery after 25 months :-/

I got one of these delivered today and it appears genuine and works. No complaints (so far) at £3.43!

I use a what they call a 10Watt charger with 5V USB and 2AMP Current so providing 10Watts of charge. I can charge tablets etc with it and iphone chrages really fats/ but for some reason on galaxy s2 im only getting 3.885V and 641mA current which makes charging really slow on my phone. Thats with lowest brightness setting and wifi/bt/gps/etc off. Is that normal for a galaxy s2 or am i doing something wrong? I am using the revolt 4.3 ROM.

[Q] Using a 5v USB Wall Charger on a Zenfone 2 with +9v battery?

I ordered the 4gb ram version of Zenfone 2 and it only comes with the "Boostmaster" quick charger that outputs 9v and 2A.
Also, I saw pictures where the visible part of the battery in the phone says "+9v 2A" on it.
I want to know is it safe to use a regular 5v USB charger to charge this phone if I do not want to use the quick charger?
I am not sure since I read through some websites and I am concerned about these quotes:
Too low voltage may do damage. Slightly too low may work AOK or at
reduced current. Too low may damage equipment but not usually. Too low
may damage charger but not usually.

If the voltage is too low, you'll get either nothing, or odd / failure
behavior when the power draw on the system gets high.

I'd be more worried about the undervoltage. It may put a strain on the
voltage regulator in your laptop and may also put a strain on your
battery
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So I want to know does the zenfone 2 has a special battery that allows lower voltage? Is its battery really a 9v battery?

I use a 5V charger, but the 2GB Zen has a 5.2V charger. There's nothing wrong with using weaker plugs, though the charge time is roughly 3-4hrs with the one I use.
"I'd Totally Hug You, If That Was Something I Did"

I took the back off and the battery the, it says 5.2 v and 9v on it for input so I guess you can use either one on it

oh, I didn't know it says that on battery, I didn't receive my phone yet, but all the pictures I 've seen on reviews and when I googled the image, all I see on the battery is "Input +9v 2A, 18W"
does the US version have the extra 5.2v printed on the battery?

Yes. My 4GB model has both on it.

I've used a non QC charger on it and it worked fine. I mainly have QC's now so I use those when my phone doesn't have qi support. It chargers fine with the following Quick Charge 2.0 chargers: Aukey 10000mah battery pack, Asus boost master, Motorola Turbo, Incipio car charger, Power Partners 30w. I haven't had any issues charging it yet but it does get warm (battery hits 119 °F) using the Asus charger and cable.

Ive used multiple charging blocks that have 1 Amp and each time the charging stops at 77% and stays there overnight. This is kind of dumb I think. Anyone else having this issue when not using the stock charging block? Hmm it actually seems that this is happening on my cords that are 6 feet in length. The short cords are working fine

Had issues with long cords before, mostly they would take ages to charge.
I'm using the stock Samsung Note 3/4 charger with no issue and the samsung cable.
It's easier to use than to unpack and find an Aussie adaptor for the ASUS charger....

Please see the following ASUS support page: "Introduction to quick charge"

I've charged on other charger when I grabbed the wrong one, but it won't do a full charge. I can only get about 75% on standard charger. Plug in the fast charger and it charges right up.

it should be fairly okay else it wouldn't be safe to plug this device into sa normal USB port (5v)

[Q] Need a new charger - where should I look for a good one?

Hi.
Two questions:
1. Where should I look for one?
Found this on Ali-express but wanted your opinion:
http://bit.ly/2ze7U2U
2. Regarding the cable: are all cables the same? Or is this (in link - the one that comes with the OPO) different (can move more current)?
Trying to save where I can
Thank you!

I have been using a 5V 2.1A charger (from Belkin) but with a "regular" old Samsung micro-usb cable and it took 6 hours to charge till full.
I can't imagine it's right.
Perhaps a new, more powerful cable?
Also, how long should it take to fully charge the One?
Thank you!!! :good:

if you use cable that support fast charge you can charge your phone less then 2 hour...just get a cable that support fast charge or support quick charge 2.0 and you will see the difference....

getting a good cable makes all the difference. I'm not sure if it is due to Lineage, firmware or the kernel... but my OPO has been very picky with the charging cable for at least the last 9 months. I first noticed this when my Jaybird Bluebuds X flat short cable charged significantly faster (then i lost the cable). then on some cables, it would say it's charging but the percentage would remain constant or even drop at a slower rate! I then tried different cables and charger combinations using the the AccuBattery app and OPO Charging Current app to note the ampere.
the xiaomi fast charging micro usb 1.2m flat cable is cheap and charges "fast". I highly recommend the xiaomi cable (i even bought like 4 of them for the office and for home).
paired with new-ish samsung quick charge chargers (which came with the S7 and C5 Pro that i had lying around), i get about 1.58A (screen off).... i also get comparable results with an old Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 charger from like 2011 and an ipad 3 charger.

well I went with blitzwolf ...I don't use my original charger as blitzwolf is faster(just a tad but still) ...BW-S5 is my main and I've ordered an BW-S9(I'll make BW-S5 a second to charge my phone in my shop and also charge clients phones/tablets if needed - I fix them too)
BW-S5 has an extended review from a dude with all the pros and cons ...great review if you want to look at it(he'll do the S9 as well but didn't receive it yet and I couldn't wait, I needed a good 2nd one)
P.S. Using custom cable made by me to avoid getting slow charges(only power cable, no data - for safety too)

I'm on this charger: http://s.aliexpress.com/qeaIfIrE and reversible micro USB cable from the same manufacturer (reversible micro usb seems to be not available to buy any longer though, I can see regular micro usb only)
Both are excellent.

Chotech SMT0008 5V/2.4A charger
Hi anybody who want to use a longer cable (1.8m -3m) without losing the charging speed, I would recommend Chotech SMT0008 5V/2.4A charger. You would be able to increase the charging speed up to 10-15%.
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/CHO...er-for-iPhone-Samsung-Xiaomi/32742790687.html
This charger can supply up to 5.5V to compensate USB cable resistance (especially when using a longer cable).
https://lygte-info.dk/review/USBpower Choetech usb 5V 2.4A SMT0008 UK.html
Don't forget a good quality cable as well for fast charging. Up to 1.5m 22AWG is OK, but over 1.5m get a 20-21 AWG cable. If you want to learn about cable resistance during charging the below article is helpful.
https://goughlui.com/2014/10/01/usb-cable-resistance-why-your-phonetablet-might-be-charging-slow/
I myself use Chotech SMT0008 5V/2.4A with a Tronsmart 20AWG 1.8m cable. I have tested some cables: Mageek 21AWG 3m, Blitzwolf 21AWG 1.8m, Ugreen 22AWG 1.5m all of them are OK. Avoid VoxLink cables !! their "fast cable" uses fake 24-28AWG!

all my usb-c pd chargers report slower charge speeds than the stock 25w brick.

Guess we will hear more about this later with ppl with the proper equipment to test this, but i'm just gonna base this off the phone notification.
I'm getting the same estimated charge time using my 30w macbook charger, 60w monoprice usbpd charger, 18w usb-pd anker power bank, as a standard adaptive fast charger I have in the house (15w i think?).
Meanwhile the 25w brick that comes with the phone cuts the time by about 10min or so vs the other options above.
I did read about the 45w situation to be tricky, but this is the first time i've heard about the 25w charger being special in this way.
Would love to see more tests and see if there are 3rd party solutions that can get the full 25w speeds, and maybe the 45w ones.
hopefully its not a oneplus situation where you can only get the best stuff from their own first party chargers.

I was thinking about this. I tried the usb-c -usb-c cable that comes with the box on other chargers and sadly this didn't change anything.
Think you need the proper cable and proper PPS configs on the PD brick to get this working.

Yes you are correct. A special USB-C cable with an embedded chipset (E) is required along with special PPS. At this early stage I'm not certain many (if any) third party vendors meet these requirements. The only safe bet is the Samsung- branded one.

CONFIRMED !
i have a aftermarket 45w home charger and aftermarket 45w power bank.
both WONT charge at 45W, it charging like 15W.
when i plug in the stock 25w charger, it charging faster.

I have an Anker duel charger that has 45W USB C and a USB A. The USB C is rated at 45W and the USB A is rated at 15W. The 25W charges faster than the 45W. (at least what I am seeing)
Good info about the special cable. If we need a special cable... Where do we find it?
I do have to say, it charges fast with the 25W one.

Ill check mines when the phone comes later today.
But i do remember reading that it used a different voltage/amp set.
Which if the charger doesnt support it. Then it would default to the lower one.
I.e.
If your charger is 5v 9v 12v 15v
But the phone needw 10v
It would default to the 9v.
Cant remember where i read this. But was a prerelease testing

The safe way to go is to use the samsung official chargers, that are precisely tuned for this, I would not risk a brand new somewhat expensive device

What is this telling me? phone says fast charging.
Using an Amazon Basics 60watt PD charger.

Another screen shot

yeah the phone claims it is rated for 10V at 4.5A and most 45W chargers use 15V at 3A, so likely to be nothing on the market fully capable of charging at super speed at the moment.
as for the USB cable it is a subset of USB 3.1 Gen 2, basically you need a cable with a chip in it, that chip allows you to break the 3A limit on standard cables. I've ordered this as I wanted a longer cable for my standard charger and should work with the 45W if I get it down the road. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B073RY5JZ3/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

How? I ordered one on 8/27/19 and it's not expected to be delivered till 9/26/19. It went out of stock like a day after I ordered. It's not even showing available on Samsung.

I guess i was very lucky, because checking today at the samsung site told it is sold out again. I did get a confirmation that it is shipped with ups express

You might want to check to make sure you actually got the 45w charger as it's been out of stock since about 8/28 - 8/29.
