I'm looking to replace the battery in mine and I see a bunch of options on eBay that look like OEM but probably aren't. Hoping someone has a vendor recommendation
I ordered a cheap one from EBAY out of Ireland (NL myself). It should come in today. It's probably not OEM (they look like it).
I'll compare it to the old one once I have it and open my tab up.

They're the same, if you want to make sure, check the part number , like EB-BT705FBC, on your original battery. Then buy the one has matched part number and Samsung logo.
The tab S 8.4 has different models but using the same battery. Like Tab Pro 12.2, Note Pro 12.2 Wif and LTE, they are different 12.2 inches tablets, but they use the same battery and other parts.
I just installed my battery. It was 14 euro's from Ireland. I expected it to be a knockoff but it was an exact match to my old one, down to the part number. The only difference was the manufacturing date, with the old one in 2014 and the new one from Ireland manufactured in 2016, november - only two months ago!
It was a few mm smaller, which shows how much batteries swell over the years. The old one was a pain to remove as it was really cramped in the housing.
Photo for comparison, new one on the right and old on the left.

I've replaced battery in my T700 with this one:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/100...32466260763.html?spm=2114.13010608.0.0.HVMxr6
I can confirm it is original and it's working fine for more than 6 monts now. Still holding excellent, in fact much better than the original one. But that's mostly cos i changed my usage scenarios

in case you havent looked lately the offical OEM batteries are now under 20 bucks on ebay. ( us / can at least )

From my experience, the "Samsung" batteries with "G7" on them aren't too great. They look like these:
http://cgi.ebay.ca/OEM-SAMSUNG-STAN...Accessories&hash=item27b750ff9e#ht_1968wt_846
I have 2 of those "G7" batteries that I got through a package deal of 2 batteries and a wall charger. The G7 batteries are strictly for emergency use now...
would you care to elaborate a little more than "arent too great"?
good thing i got a G9 EB575152VA (according to pic and model #) for under $20
G7 battery model # ends with "U" instead of "A"
http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270695587944&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
I contacted the seller and he assured me that they are G9 series, however he was unaware of that there were different series, he will probably be raising the price soon.
BUY NOW before he does!

I see your single systems, and raise you to my (6) i7 920/930 rigs in my favorite crappy Antec 300 cases...

And by "not so great", I mean battery life sucks.
Thanks for the eBay Link
Heading there to pick a few up.
well just got it in!
yes it was G9 series not G7!!!
heres some pics for anyone wondering about $20 OEMs
Did you buy more than one? If so, are the serial number identical?
no why? wondering if its fake?
and i bought it from new york, not china.
OEM for 7.45 U$
This store on amazon has a sale on Samsung OEM Batteries for $ 7.45
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003X9XKPC/ref=ord_cart_shr?ie=UTF8&m=A3FE21IS34PKFO
+4.99 shipping
still a very good deal right now.
The question is quite simple. Many people claim their batteries are original when they aren't. The fact that they cost 9 USD when, in Brazil, they cost over 100 BRL also make me wonder (mainly because USD BRL conversion is 1 - 1.8)
it's hard to tell if you shop online.
But if you can actually get your hands on it, there are couple things you can do.
The easiest way to identify is rip open the sticker on the battery. ( it's wrapped around the battery, so even if you rip it open, you still can wrap it back )
There should be carving like in the picture below.

But there are a new type of identical copy right now, that has the same carving as the picture above.... if you run into those.... see if the batter wrapper ( the one u rip open ) build quality is good and good luck....
One more thing, the the original battery weights 49g, and most the fake ones weight around 45g.
If you are buying on ebay, there is really nothing you can do until you get the actual item. And to be honest, if the seller do selling original battery on ebay for a cheap discount price, he is probably loosing some money there. I would find a more reliable source if I want to buy stock stuff.
That was a very useful response, thank you. Would you happen to know any worldwide deliveres worthy of trust? And what would be a reasonable price for the original battery?
not that I know of :x i usually either just suck it up and buy a cheap one that I obviously know it's some pirated stuff, or just dish out the cash and order from samsung. At least I can sleep better that way knowing what I am getting exactly...
The problem is Sammy still does't sell anything for the Note in Brazil.
all the battery is fake in china

It's been one of my favorite sites to visit to see the different type of accessories available for my previous iPhones, ipads, Samsung phones and tablets. And a month in and the number of different accessories they have is amazing with new battery covers and bumpers now available. Also replacement screens ... at a price..
www.tvc-mall.com
Prices are so cheap you can choose multiple accessories to try out.
I've brought 3 covers so far and they have been great. Note I also brought the 2300 mah battery but hasn't been performing as well but it could be because of 1st charge but hey its only $2.35 and performing at 90% of the original battery. I'm thinking of getting the carbon fiber back cover just to be different.
Avast says that site is a no no. Geeked out as soon as the page started to load. Pass.
It sounds sketchy, just reading the OP aha.
Thanks for the heads up!
I want OEM batteries no poo poo generic for me

My AVG didn't have any issues with it.
But then I don't use the Internet portion of AVG.
Website "says" it's Norton protected but who really knows.

their shipping cost is erm........
That's it. Prices of products are good but shipping costs?
Better have a look on http://www.dealextreme.com. Shipping costs = 0,0 EUR
My first testorder was one single USB Jig for about 1,26 EUR including postage and it arrived .
My second last order with about 8 parts took about 3 month with 4 partial deliveries to complete but in the end all parts found their way to my home . The first partial delivery was a wrong article. The correct one was resent and I could keep the wrong article for nothing. Contact was good.
The last order was shipped very fast and all parts at once but its still on its way. To germany it takes about 2 - 3 weeks.
Ok guys there are users who faces the same problems with tab t705/700
1 sudden battery drop
2 green strips on display
3 freeze and reeboot
4 when network changes the green strips come
5 cam flash not work
this is not an software prob definitely (hardware prob faulty battery connector)
i tried on both kk and lp
the solution :d
if u r a nonrooted user
dont waste ur time on cleanning caches, trying recovery etc
replace\repair the tab asap at samsung store
for root users
the problem is in the battery connector(where it connects to the mainboard)
find an good phone mechanic (u dont need an expert for this )
ask him to resolder ur battery connector to the mainboard(btw i have gave 3$ for that)
iam using t705
and get an amazing battery life
it has been 3 months and not a single complain/problem from tab
Plenty seem to get this issue with the 8.5 model, but nobody ever actually posts a pic of the problem.
This is the battery connector, actually the from the 8.4", but the 10.5" should look the same.
Samsung service centers have been know to replace the battery connector with a more heavy duty version during a repair.

The issue seems limited to 8.4 models dont think ive seen a report of anyone with a 10.5 having the same problem.
As I have an 10.5" i hope you are right, below is the post about replacing the battery connector.

Hello i'm looking to buy new S2 ORIGINAL battery. Here are the photos of "Original Galaxy S2" battery, could this be original? does every single sign/thing has to be at the same spot and to be the same size as on the original battery to be so called "original"? Also what about Manufacture date that says "2015.6.26" do Samsung still produce s2 batteries? Thanks in advance.

It doesn't look original to me.
There are few of small dents and bumps on it and the finishing is too poor to be original.
I knew it... Well then i guess there is no original battery by SAMSUNG available anywhere in the world except the second-hand ones...

Here's my experience: if you really want a genuine samsung battery (which, for me, is unnecessary), the only place you'll find one is in a real samsung shop (if you buy a "genuine samsung battery" from ebay, it certainly WON'T be a genuine samsung battery). I've just bought a replacement battery from ebay which DID NOT say samsung on it (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/111803700635) and it's excellent - it's as good as the original genuine samsung battery. Lesson learnt? Buy a battery which is NOT trying to pretend to be a samsung battery (all those that are trying to pretend to be genuine samsung batteries are fakes).
I have gone through a lot of genuine Galaxy S2 batteries and I do find the other batteries to be cheaper and better. This looks like a genuine Samsung battery to me. I have have seen maybe 10 genuine batteries that come with the S2 phone and they look like that. I have also seen fake ones they usually don't put too much effort into the graphic design
It's genuine, built in chinese factory for lower cost and of course it comes bulk and not in retail package.
Alright, thanks everybody.
I sorted this problem by getting the friend's S2 plus battery (apparently he broke the phone and gave me away his battery) basically inside they are the same, it is a bit thicker than S2's genuine and is carrying a nfc text... So far it's fitting and working fine on my S2.
