here it is ...

thanks for the suggestion and the link, interesting......

Batteries have appeared on ebay but look a bit expensive given that Expansys will charge a similar amount of an OEM battery. See what you think, look here:

I notice that the ebay ad says its 1600, while my jasjar says 1620mAh, only 20 less, but its still less
Flubster

I have bought one, and it's work well.

Just got my 1400 mah batteries, but are they really 1400?

Hey everyone! I Just got my 1400 "sido" batteries in the mail off ebay. There's nothing written on the actual battery that states how many mah it has, is there a way to verify that it really is a 1400? it looks like the exact same size as my oem 1120 htc touch dual battery, and fits EXACTLY. They're the same size.
Do you know of any way to verify or test the mAh? Thanks!
Kent.
well...the easy way to test it is to get a baseline from your old 1120mAh battery, say its at 50% after 2 hours with the backlight on and nothing else running, then you put your new one in there and do the same....all variables aside it should take longer to get to 50% than the original battery.
your old battery has probably already lost alot of charge capacity though...
Can you supply me a link on the batteries you ordered on ebay because I 'm not able to find 1400 mah batteries for the touch dual.
Thanks in advance.
hi due to the fact that im posting from my cell phone and use ebay mobile I can give you the item number and you can just enter it into the search engine and it should show up.
150243547915
good luck.
only way you can test is to do a flat out run on your phone and time it... i believe there are some battery timer applications/freeware available, do a search on them...
if your battery doesn't specificy the mah, then i would think that you got jipped, sorry to say
theres a lot of scams going on ebay, i wouldn't buy from there, i would buy from a retail site that is reliable even though it may cost some extra money, you won't be getting bent over
As mentioned above, testing may not get you anywhere..
In my experience, a 24-48 hr charge [or 4 high-duty cycles] is required to hit the miaximum capacity of the new battery.
Well I tested them after using them each for one week. One battery was 1400 (well, like 1380ish hehe). And the other one was under 1000 . I wrote the ebay dude, and he said that he'll give me about 2 dollars back, if I don't want to send them BOTH back to get a refund. I paid 12 bucks. One's great, the others ... not... He won't let me send one. ... Me Angry!...

need an extra battery & charger?

i had a great experience with both of these ebayers:
extra stock battery ($19) from this seller
wall charger ($4.89) from this seller
shipping for each was free, and i received both items within a week, in excellent condition. both the battery & charger work great. i have read many reviews about the seidio extended battery, and i don't think it is worth $50 (plus another $5-8 for a charger)
That's about right for the charger. But if you aren't in a hurry, you can get 3 batteries and a wall charger here for $12.
It just takes 2-3 weeks to get here. I used them (same type) for my DInc and already have a set for my Bolt and they work the same as stock.
i saw lots of multiple battery deals on ebay, but i don't trust cheap knockoffs. i got a cheap generic battery for my nexus one and it lasted about 2/3 as long the stock battery

Stock battery: $19
Cheap battery: $2.75 (ish)
By your 2/3 estimate, you would pay up to $12.67 for a knock off battery, so by buying these cheap knock-offs, you are saving almost $10 for each battery.
perhaps so, but i wanted a battery that would last at least as long as the stock battery. i didn't want my phone to get low during the day, replace it with the knockoff, and wake up late for work the next day because the knockoff died during the night. i value having a single, consistent OEM battery more than getting a group of low capacity batteries at the lowest possible price
if you are better served with multiple cheap knockoff batteries, then by all means get what suits you best. i just wanted to share my ebay experience with anyone looking for a reliable seller of OEM batteries, because there are tons of shysters selling worthless crap online
I had a cheap knock off for my D1 and it died so quick...never again buying a knockoff
Oh, you mean capacity wise? I find mine to be right on par with the stock battery. I thought you meant that they'll die in 9 months rather than a year (which I am fine with).
different strokes for different folks.
i bought generic ones off ebay for my gf's droidx. a week later the phone ran extremely hot on generic's. i'm guessing the chip in the generic batteries didn't work.
i paid full retail for my phone, im not going to try to save a few bucks on something as essential as a battery. $20 for something that will power your phone for another 10 hours EVERYDAY? worth it.
Haha, the guy wants like $93 for the charger now. I think he typed in an extra 0 or something!
Has anyone bought these:

$95+ now... I asked a question to see if it's a typo or not. (I basically asked what makes his $90 more valuable than other ones on eBay...)
I got a charger, but mine came from Hong Kong and took about 20 days to get to me. I wouldn't have cared to pay a couple of extra bucks to get one in 2 days instead, but $90 bucks is a different story!

thanks for the advice/links! i just bought both of these
i noticed that both of these sellers are located in brooklyn, ny... seems like a verrry odd coincidence that both of the sellers you recommended are located in the same borough (the usa is a huge place!). also seemed strange that you linked to the sellers' profiles, instead of the actual items.
so tell us, are you the seller? or are you just friends with the person who runs both of these ebay accounts?
either way, i bought em both. mainly because i live in brooklyn too, so the shipping shouldn't take too long.
thanks again! make sure to leave me good feedback also, any chance i can just come pick up both of the items so i don't need to wait for it to go through usps? you'll save some shipping money that way too!
i also thought it was odd that both sellers were in brooklyn. i am not the seller and have no connection with either seller, i just thought another xda member or two would benefit from my experience with them. i'm glad to see you found some useful items
Just to follow-up here. I bought one of this guy's batteries and am not happy with what I got. I believe it's not an OEM battery but a counterfeit battery (the void sticker is wrong, and other things aren't identical to my OEM battery). Additionally, it's somewhat defective. Once it hits ~30%, it dies and cannot power the phone any longer. I've gone on multiple charge cycles now and it's predictable that my phone will just randomly die somewhere between 30-34% battery left. If I try to turn it back on, it doesn't even attempt. After charging it for ~30-45 seconds, then I'm able to turn it back on and it immediately reports ~30-34% battery but will die if I pull the charger off of it. It's fine between 35%-100% though.
All-in-all, I have pretty much paid $20 for a mostly-useless battery. I've sent the guy a message - we'll see if he fixes the situation. But at this time, I definitely cannot recommend this guy and, in fact, I somewhat dis-recommend him. I see absolutely no reason to go with him over the $9 for 2 batteries + charger people.

They've responded to me and are offering either a replacement or a refund. Of course I have to ship the defective one back on my own dime (that's not right imo - if they ship me a defective product, it should be their dime that fixes the problem).
So they're at least doing most of what they should do in this scenario. Not a "bad" buyer in all regards, but bad in that 1) they sent me a counterfeit product while claiming it's OEM and 2) they won't cover return shipping the defective/counterfeit product that they sent me. I'll never shop with them again but rather than advising others to not shop with them, I'll simply advise them that the one product I bought from them was a counterfeit while it was advertised as OEM, so be informed if you buy from them.
EDIT:
I noticed in their return policy that they say they'll charge a 15% restocking fee for any refunded item. I asked and they will NOT be charging me this fee. So they're doing right in this aspect.

Cheap 1950mAh battery?

Hi,
I came over this one: http://cgi.ebay.nl/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=390301426669&ssPageName=ADME:L:OC:NL:1123
If it's true then there's a cheap way to get 33% more battery power. The guys feedback seems good, does anyone know if it's possible for batteries that cheap to actually give such power?
I did order one to test but it can be a few weeks before it arrives. Can anyone tell me a good way to test batteries in the meantime?
I bought these http://www.spider-foot.com/2x-bst41...ericsson-xperia-play-zeus-bst412be-p-897.html which are also on ebay but i found that the seller has also his own site and they work surprisingly well, almost good as the original. I also got the battery charger which is incredible and I always have my play on and 2 extra full batteries in my pocket
I consider trying one of those in your link for more power but I doubt it that its 1950mah...
I needed a spare battery anyway for the weekends I'm gone (taking a battery with you is easier than a charger), so it's a small risk to make. I bet it won't take long before the big batteries with extended back covers start to up for less then they're costing now (99 dollars).
In my opinion its not a risk, the seller has almost 10000 positive feedbacks and the cost that you pay is 3€ for the battery and 4€ for shipping. Even if its not 1950mah you won't regret it. I also consider to buy one...
The fact that it won't be 1950 mAh (or close to it) is the risk I'm talking about and definitly worth the shot.
It seems the battery test in the service menu isn't working for me, it wants to charge even if it's already 100%, anyone else got it working?

Counterfeit Samsung Batteries?

I recently purchased a couple of "Samsung" batteries from eBay:
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=390461705094&ssPageName=ADME:L:eek:U:CA:3160
They came packaged only in thin plastic sleeves. These seemed to have a tighter fit than the one that came with the phone and the labels look different. The model number is different. I assume these are for the international version of the phone. So I could believe the difference in labels is due to this and maybe a difference in thickness of the label would account for the different fit. I don't have a second device to test if the NFC antenna works.
But what made me think these are counterfeit immediately was that on the front of the label both have identical serial numbers. Still, I wanted to hope maybe this could be legit and these serial numbers are not unique but are really lot numbers.
Just now, I scanned the QR codes on the same label.
The one on the original battery reads: GH43-03702A+EB-L1G6LLA
I'm not sure what most of the digits mean, but the last part, "EB-L1G6LLA" is the model number.
The batteries I got from eBay have a QR code that reads: 12345678
Another sign is that the + and - symbols don't appear to align perfectly to the contacts the way the original does. I read this is one of the signs of a counterfeit.
I've attached photos of the battery below. The original one is always on the far left.
Is my assessment correct? Is there any chance these are actually real?
They were only $10 a piece. It's possible, whatever they are they're perfectly adequate batteries. But the fact that they're being sold as counterfeits rather than 3rd party batteries makes me very wary about putting these in my phone. I don't trust counterfeiters to care much about quality control or even putting in functional charging circuitry.
I'd also be grateful for any advice on how to deal with this. Should I report to eBay and/or Paypal or maybe Canada Post (as these are supposedly shipped from Canada there may be Federal Postal Fraud laws that apply).
Finally, any good place to buy genuine Samsung batteries at a reasonable price?
Thanks!
1st picture. Under the s/n number the "Fakes" have a date which i have never seen on OEM samsung batteries sold. 2nd picture the borders for the black box are not even straight, box size is wrong, and font is different. 3rd picture its missing the water mark thingy. Definitely fakes. I myself am like you. If they made counterfeits they wouldn't care about the quality of the battery so I would be hesitant on putting it in my phone.
I have one of these fakes as well. I bought it from an individual (not a store) on Ebay that claimed that it was a new OEM battery. I have been using the battery and it seems to work ok, although I have not been able to test the NFC capability yet.
I've used "counterfeit" batteries in a couple of other phones I've owned. I only had a problem with one out of the four batteries, and that one wouldn't hold a charge for more than 5 hours on standby. Other than that battery, they've worked fine for me. I only paid around $5 for the junk battery, since it came in a two-pack for $10, which included a charger.
You get what you pay for. Verizon has official OEM batteries for sale for about $30 each. You probably won't find a legit battery for much less than that.

I think most of the information you have provided are incorrect, some batteries does have dates, others don't, and not all samsung batteries have the waterproof sticker.
the font and the uneven line will depends on the country of manufacture.
I've seen all these and had some, all straight out of the box from a unit from a local authorised store.
I do not have a problem with a battery that is not manufactured/endorsed by the manufacturer of my phone, as long as the batteries are represented that way. I have used 3rd party batteries in my Evo 4G and they completely met my expectations. I would not call those counterfeit batteries.
If a battery is being presented as an OEM Samsung battery I expect it do be exactly that. When I bought my battery I probably paid a few $ more than I would have for a 3rd party battery because I thought I was buying the real OEM battery. After I received the battery I suspected that he battery was not truly an OEM battery. I noticed the same things that the OP noted. I also had a feeling (not proven) that the battery life is not quite to the level of my original battery. I looked at the battery after seeing this post and mine is identical to the fakes in the OP (down to the date and the serial number).

I do agree with what you say, but many people who buys batteries that not a OEM will just call it a fake, whether it's a fake or a third party one.
A fake battery and a third party brand battery are two different thing, third party batteries are not fakes.

Why do you put quotes around "counterfeit"? Are you talking about counterfeit or third party batteries? As others have noted correctly, third party batteries sold legitimately, under their own brand name (or without a brand name) that do not attempt to be passed off as OEM batteries are not fake or counterfeit. They're just third party batteries. Whether they are any good is largely a crap shoot. But at least their is no misrepresentation and you know what you are buying.
A third party battery with a wrapper attempting duplicate or resemble the OEM battery and sold as an OEM battery is a counterfeit.
I wouldn't be surprised if some of the third party batteries are manufactured at the same plant and are of the same quality. But with the OEM you're getting an assurance of a minimal performance level from QA. With third party batteries of an unproven brand you don't really know. With counterfeit batteries, the seller has already shown that he has no ethical standard and so I'd suspect these are more likely to be defective/returned/poor quality products being resold for profit.
Was I naive to think I could get an OEM battery at this price? Probably. However, it's not outside the realm of plausibility. I don't believe for a minute that the real cost of an OEM battery is anywhere near $40 and I could believe that purchased in bulk or in other countries OEM batteries could be obtained at a much lower price. Even on Amazon I've seen OEM batteries for as little as $20 (but they won't ship to Canada). I'm more inclined to believe that the ones on Amazon are real.
In any case, I've started the process at eBay to get my money back. If they were just crap batteries I wouldn't care as they weren't very expensive, but being sold fakes just rubs me the wrong way...
I've learned my lesson though. No more batteries (and probably memory cards should be added to the list) from eBay. I'll just shell out the money and buy a real OEM locally.
they ARE NOT THE SAME!!!! WARNING!

very helpfull...........
Definitely read reviews first if you buy from amazon. I bought a "genuine" Samsung battery that wouldn't charge past 80% and was delivered in a simple plastic bag, no official packaging like the picture in the ad. Amazon seems like its now riddled with fakes of all kinds, I also bought a fake lifeproof case from there as well but was lucky and got my money back.

I can verify this as well. I have a Verizon GS3 and an AT&T GS3. My Verizon GS3 came with the battery on the left, the EB-L1G6LLZ. My AT&T GS3 came with the battery on the right, the EB-L1G6LLA. Something I find weird is that the Verizon battery has a date on it; 06-17-2012. I also find it strange that the batteries were made in two different countries; the Verizon one in Korea and the AT&T one in Japan.
Just an afterthought:
Could the "Z" in the Verizon battery stand for veriZon while the "A" in the AT&T one stand for At&t? If that was true than couldn't the "U" stand for Us cellular? This is just a guess but it seems like a weird coincidence.
I have recently bought a battery which had as title : New 2100mah OEM EB-L1G6LLU NFC Battery For I9300
The battery was shipped from HK. As i received the battery, i inserted it in my phone and there was about 57% battery left. In the span of 5 hours, with 45 mins of screen used on wifi (not even 3G) the battery was at 1%. I charged the battery in the phone itself using the supplied samsung charger and it took roughly 3 hours. As the green charging light came on, i unplugged the charger and to my great surprise the battery instantly dropped to 91%. I decided to give it another chance but the battery never fully charges. Although the battery had functioning NFC, the battery life was bad.
My advise would be, if you want a spare battery, get a genuine one or reputed brands such as Anker or Momax (although some may not have NFC).
your better off getting one of these 2 Batteries and a charger http://www.zerolemon.com/details.php/zerolemon-2x-galaxy-s3-2300mah-slim-battery-charger No nfc but really do you use it? :highfive:
Hey guys, have a look at these batteries, which one would you say is the Original battery that came with the S3? And the other one will obviously be the 'OEM' at $9.

Id like to get an extra official Samsung battery but after some bad amazon experiences with "official" batteries for my HTC evos I'm nervous about amazon.
Does any1 have a legitimate source for real batteries other that paying full price at a sprint store.

If you want to make sure it's genuine either go to sprint or Samsung,
Stop trying to be cheap. You get what you pay for and the odds of your finding a genuine on amazon or ebay for $10 bucks is the same as me beating Tiger Woods in golf.

do you think the EB-L1G6LLZ battery which comes in the verizon s3 will work in your at&t, and the at&t battery (EB-L1G6LLA) work in your verizon?

Extended battery

Hello everyone I found this on alliexpress is it worth? anyone try any of this extended batteries? 3500mAh BL-T5 Li-ion Polymer Batter...1110/518985187.html
(from AliExpress Android)
Sent from my LG-E975 using XDA Free mobile app
Bump.
Did anybody try any of those or similar batteries? Im thinking about purchasing sonething like that.
I highly doubt it would be 3500. My advice would be to find a legit lg battery, may cost a big extra but will last longer.
Yes they aint 3500 mAh as the comments already say, but i couldnt find any legit 'big battery'. It also seems like noone is really interested in that. For Nexus4 theres a thread where op included a second Bat with custom backcover.
A lot claim they are legit but highly doubt they are. Bricks and mortar shops don’t stock LGOG stuff....never really did.
Polarcell batteries are in my opinion the best after market replacement batteries. However the only seller I could find has priced the battery ridiculously high...cheaper to get a new phone.
http://www.ebay.com.au/sch/m.html?_...3.TR0.TRC0.H0.XBL-T5.TRS0&_nkw=BL-T5&_sacat=0
I would avoid cheap brands claiming high capacity for an internal battery as they could end up frying your phone (leaking acid or expanding due to heat)
I bookmarked this site ages ago, never bought stuff from them, but appears legit http://www.etradesupply.com/lg/lg-o...t-screen-battery-parts/lg-optimus-g-e975.html
Have you tried contacting LG in your country? They may be able to sell you one directly or suggest an approved service centre in your area.
I had 2 Polarcells sent from the linked eBay seller in Germany, both were complete rubbish.
The first one gave me less than 90 minutes screen on time which was less than my 2 year old original battery.
After a week I complained, and they sent me a replacement that they "tested".
It was DOA, I tested the terminals with a Multimeter and it wasn't even putting out 1V. So much for testing!
The one positive I can give AKKU is that despite their dodgy product, they were happy to refund.
Couldn't find a genuine replacement and I settled on a fake which gives me similar runtime to the original..
