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.
Samsung genuine batteries for i9100
Hello. I have some original and also extended batteries to sale, if someone is interest in. Drop me a PM.
I'm looking for a replacement battery, just the standard, Samsung stock battery. Not interested in aftermarket versions, extended batteries, etc.
Can anyone share reliable sources, i.e. not selling used batteries as new, fakes, etc ? Ebay or Amazon are my first preferences but I'm not restricted to there.
What carrier are you with

Then if you can't find it directly from Samsung, call Verizon or look on their website.

I would say original battery would be best... I don't trust aftermarket stuff...
I have bought battery from "aliexpress" before and somehow the battery doesn't last...
I would suggest Ebay but both are reliable. Or most reliable source is samsung's site
I never imagined that it wasn't obvious that buying replacement batteries (or anything) from the carrier or the manufacturer was an option. Ever seen the price from them though ? $30-40 from Verizon. I wasn't aware that Samsung sold direct....

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.

Ask your questions here. And mention you are in USA. They will definitely help you.

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
Anyone ordered one of these recently?:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Genuine-OEM...466?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3cde82fa4a
If you did could you tell me the date it was manufactured on the back? I'd rather not buy a new battery that was manufactured when the phone came out.

Copy the code on the battery. And search on google for the battery
I just found one for £10 on ebay. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Wileyfox-...868658?hash=item3ac37d3ff2:g:TPAAAOSwubRXHoyG
These all use the same battery, so maybe you have any luck finding replacements for them i found some for the i-mobile iQ II 8150 on e-bay
- CM-11D (for Cherry Mobile G1 H220)
- AJZH53Y1529 (for General Mobile 4G / 4G Dual GM-113)
- BL-267 (for i-mobile iQ II 8150)
- SWB0115 (for Wileyfox Swift)
Looking at their webpage, they've added official replacement batteries marked with "Register your interest". If they manage to get them out in the next couple of months, I'll be pretty happy.
https://www.wileyfox.com/accessories/
And now the battery is for sale on their website.
I looked at Wileyfox's in the end of november for the batterys, these where "out of stock", i told them that i was interested in these
I waited 4 weeks, then i bought the batterys at AliExpress:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/3-8...1a91-4331-a6bb-89bbc34c17a8&priceBeautifyAB=4
At 21.01.2018 i got am Mail from Wileyfox, that the batterys are available..
Some days later, after four weeks, i got the batterys for AliExpress. Should be manufactured at 30.11.2017.
https://www.wileyfox.com/en/accessories/swift-mobile-phone-spare-battery/
In the past week Wileyfox e-mailed 2 notifications that they're in stock, both times they were sold out within hours. I trust the originals better over the no-name battery, so i'll try to order the next round.
Will order this one and report back
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Battery-WILEYFOX-SWIFT-2500mAh-Replacement-internal-battery-/222652712834
Just to let you know, Wileyfox official site offers official batteries for sale again ! I've just ordered one to see if it's worth the buy (It's really expensive with shipping costs, 38 € for France). I'll let you know about the quality after a few tests. I'm a bit worried because photos on the website shows front with no S/N, which led me to think it's only shi*** Chinese battery, which I've already bought for 10 €. Even for this low price, it was really a bad deal because the battery self-discharges in only a few minutes from 100 to 70 %, without using the phone. After that it has a quite short range, and eventually the phone will turn off during use under 30 %...I hope the "official" battery can't get any worse !
And here is the battery, all I can say for the moment is that the delivery is quick !
https://photos.app.goo.gl/aA1LvTNDnLuHCXv3A
Luckily, it seems to be an official one (same weight and size as my original one), but he manufacturing date is 2015/12/17, so it's the original batch - a bit old isn't it ?
I'll give it a test for a few days and will report back.

It's either remaining stock from the first production run or even likely to be recycled from a phone returned under warranty. WF binned the Swift even before being taken over by STK and have done their best to wash their hands of their original customers.
:crying:
Replacement batteries have long been a source of contention for Swift owners in particular. We badgered WF about this for well over a year and in the end they just sent us one gratis...
