Best place to buy OEM batteries? - Nexus S Accessories

I recently purchased two batteries, one from Amazon and the other from eBay. The amazon one was aftermarket and overheated and caused all types of issues with my phone. The one from eBay was a legit battery but even after a few months, it doesn't seem to hold a charge. Like I'm losing 5% an hour idling! No rogue apps or horrible wakelocks either. I probably got 2 duds or they were just lying around which might explain their low prices. If I need to pay a little extra for a decent battery, I don't mind. I have an extended lying around for emergencies but would like to have a normal sized battery as well.

I cannot answer your question about purchasing OEM batteries but I have purchased this battery which at the very least performs just as well as a brand new OEM battery for a fifth of the cost ($21 incl. shipping). I also haven't had any problems with retaining charge, overheating, etc.
Results and usage can be seen here:

I don't really know a lot of things about HD2 batteries, but I'll try to answer generally speaking.
Technically, OEM and non-OEM batteries are almost the same thing. They even are, sometimes, built in the same factories, with same components.
So why are the OEM batteries so expensive compared to nonames ?
The big difference is quality control. Your OEM battery is safe and works in an optimized way to give the best of your phone (close to a 100% charge, stable tension etc)
Noname batteries aren't controlled, so you can buy a battery that has the same quality than the HTC one, as well as one that can't deliver all its power (like yours) or even one that could overheat or explode if you're unlucky and that iron particles, for example, have not been detected in it.
I hope that it will help you, and if someone knows more than I do, please complete or correct.me
Buying batteries from eBay is a risky game to say the least.
Most items pleeding to be Genuine, Original, OEM manufacture simply are not.
Most of the items are low quality copies (some batteries look 100% genuine) most of the items are worth less than the packaging they are in & as for standard size batteries claiming to have 45% or more capacity for only $8.99, complete bullsh*t dear sir.
do yourself a favour & buy genuine from local dealer or only from recommended source of aftermarket items.
eBay is the worlds largest pirate products & fraudulant ecommerce market, about time they cleaned up or got shut down.
here in Israel is cost around 40$ for Non OEM battery
its too much
any else place i could buy it ?

A work colleague purchased this one from fakEbay about 2 months ago:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-1350mAh-H...598?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item2eafb867be
He said he has been happy with it for the price, performs as original over his 2 months of use. Had to charge from about 10% with device off for 3 cycles before performance was good.
Maybe someone ele can give a good recomendation option.
eBay and other similar sources are hit and miss.
Unfortunately some of the "HD2" batteries are MISSING the control circuit that is read on the third pin. The result? The phone WILL NOT CHARGE IT. It will charge in an external wall charger, but NOT under the phone's control. Oops.
go for oem dude.. value for money...
try andida. tried it for my diamond 2 and works great. waiting for the one for my hd2 to arrive.

after trying andida on my htc hd2, i would say it is as good as the original htc battery! however capacity wise it is not like what it stated according to my own experience with the original battery. andida only manage to last slightly longer. other than this boasting of capacity, it is as good as the original htc battery.

[Q] 2430mAh Battery

Has anyone tried this GOLD 2430MAH BUSINESS BATTERY FOR DELL STREAK MINI 5 battery here? (Just check it out on ebay, i can't link it because i'm a new user)
Wondering if its worth getting it or if I should just get a cheaper pack with a charger and 3x 1800mAh batteries? Mainly looking for an extra battery to take with me on long car trips so I can use the phone more like a tablet, but I wouldn't hate having a longer lasting battery for daily use either and then using the stock battery as my extra.

this looks interesting..one thing good about it , is that is the same size as the original dell battery.
I think its a fake capacity, the largest capacity that fits as standard size offered by a decent battery manufacturer, Mugen Power is 1800mah, and if you read the threads here, there is a 2400mah extended battery that has to use a custom battery cover because the battery is twice the depth of the standard battery.
So, i think you will find its not really a 2430mah battery, but a 1800mah battery at best.
if it seems too good to be true...
The best bet is to get one of those external battery packs with 3000-6000mah and a spare cable.
Also be agressive in your control of screen brightness and data use
If you read the feedbacks of that seller on eBay. There are heaps of negative feedbacks from buyers calling him a CON.
I bought off amazon since it had to be shipped to India... think there was only 1 seller in Amazon and he seems genuine.
There's a point with batteries where to make them any more powerful you must make them bigger. If fitting 2430ma into an 1800ma package was possible Mugen would have done it, so yes the rating is a lie.
REF: Gold Battery 2430mAh on eBay...
Total fake and ripoff!! ...so dont be wasting your money...

Sorry. Thought you asked for the regular 2400mah.
hi, i bought this battery 2 mounth ago and my phone authonomy is double now. so dont coment if you dodnt try!
Do dell sell them?
Probably a con, but what the heck… I just purchased it. If it’s not 'as stated', I’ll report the bugger.
could keep us posted about this, i looked at the seller's feedback and seems it is fake but wondering if that is true.
The Americans have a saying "You can't put a quart in a pint pot" and that applies to battery power as well. Don't waste your money.
Irritatingly, battery capacity is only shown on the battery itself and not in the device’s battery info. So, is it really 2430mah? Don’t know. But there IS a difference. The 1530mah stock battery ran out of juice alarmingly quickly – like falling off a cliff - when at 30-40%, yet ‘Business Battery’ allows heavy use (downloads, browsing, video… etc) right down to single digits. So now I can use Streak much more (I’d say several hours more of constant use) when battery level is below 50% without worrying if it’s going to suddenly die on me. No gain between 100-50%, though.
I was prepared to slag this off, but from my experience it’s genuinely longer-lasting, especially at low battery levels. How long the battery itself will last only time will tell.
I’m not prepared to test it against Mugen’s 1800mah and spend near 30 quid (plus £18 p&p) in the process.
I've read elsewhere that the cheap Chinese batteries often don't report the available power in as many steps as a 'proper' one does, so they appear to fall slower.
I don't know how old your Dell battery is but it might not be as good as it used to be when new.
Yep, I had to replace the Dell battery (after about 10 months use) because over the past week it became completely unstable – dropping to 70% after 30min use, suddenly back up to 95%, and plummeting from then on. But the stock battery right from the start was always weakest when two-thirds empty, and it drained juice even on standby. Last night it was 100% or ‘fully charged’ for over 3 hours (mostly on standby and some light doc editing)… that had never happened before.
The thing is actually stamped ‘made in Japan’… aren’t Japanese products supposed to be expensive? Looks suspect, but whatever. If it becomes unstable after a month or two then sure, I’ll invest in a nice new Mugen or Dell replacement. But as of now I’m fairly content with a £13 Ecell batt.
Got one of these last week, & have put it through a few recharge cycles etc, unfortunately, it's no better than the stock battery
Oh well, it was worth a try..
As with all cheap batteries it has a short life - no more than 2 or 3 months before it starts to rapidly drain. As a temporary and inexpensive solution it's fine, but don’t expect long-lasting quality.

Where to purchase a legit replacement battery for the Note 2?

Anyone found where to buy a real, new, OEM battery made by Samsung? I haven't had much luck with battery life with aftermarket batteries.
Apart from carrier stores? Too many fakes out there IMO. I went with Anker, through their Amazon store and it's served me well up to today. (Not going to be used much in the near future because shamu )
Yea I'm a fan of Anker. Once mine needs a replacement, that's what I'll be getting.
I just bought an Anker a couple of months ago. Great replacement battery for my NOTE 2. Battery life is great.
I know this is a fairly old post, I bought a new OEM battery direct from Samsung for $24...I swear it lasts twice as long as the eBay knockoffs.
So...where? How? That's what the OP was asking. Provide a link.
And I'd like to know where to get a legit replacement stylus. The two I got from Ebay and Amazon were crap.
is it their link? Anker?
http://www.ianker.com/category-c62-s2-model-bid3-di57
I live in Italy and discovered Anker just seeing around Amazon.
I think it's a good product IMO and I think that if I have problems with my battery I'll change it with Anker's battery
I read a lot of people had problems with the Anker batteries swelling up and only lasting a few months before the battery life fell on its face.
You can go to samsung's website and buy the batteries right from them.
We were going to do that with our note 2's...but an OTA update killed my wife's phone so we decided to upgrade both phones.

hi people my 3100mAh battery need about 4 hours for full charge. is it normal? 1-100%

Unfortunately, this link is no longer valid. There are so many knock offs out there that I'm worried about buying from anyone other than Samsung. Not sure if they're genuine but there's the dock and battery combo on Amazon and Rakuten for slightly less.

Thanks for the info. How's the charge time, SOT and idle time? Is it comparable to the original battery? My original SDI (Samsung Korea manufactured) is still running strong after 3 years with 7 to 8 hrs SOT but I want to have a spare considering it's harder to find the older it gets.
Anyone going this route should take advantage of the 10% off or $5 off promos.

IMO...
...charge time is pretty good, "seems" a bit better than what I recall for the OEM Samsung battery.
...SOT is OK for what I use the phone for everyday, which is just as a phone/texting, some internet surfing, light video watching (kodi, slingtv, mlb.tv).
... idle time is pretty good. Some nights I go to bed at 100% and wake up 6-7 hours later and it's at 93%. My issue is the location of my router, so the wifi drops sometimes and toggles back and forth b/w wifi and 3/4G data while sleeping. Those mornings it's down into the 85% range.
As always, YMMV based on your config. I'm on Chaz's NE2 Classic Stock, with small mods for sd card r/w cache, adaway, TiB scheduled, etc.
Weird. I just looked at that Samsung battery a week or so ago.

[Q] LG G4 replacement battery and battery charger?

I was wondering when replacement batteries and battery chargers for the g4 will be available because I won't be able to get the phone until after the free promotion and want to have a spare battery always on hand.
If you have any idea that would help me a lot! Thank you in advanced
Update: I just search on Amazon, I find three sellers sell the LG G4 replacement battery except OEM : Trendon, iVoler, Hyperion,and I also notice iVoler has a promotion about the battery by accident, save $5.00 on Battery or Battery & Battery Charger , so I want to try it, I use the code " 2CK9NFN7" to order a battery and a charger, it takes me just $ 15.99, it's much cheaper than OEM and another sellers, it's a great deal,I share with someone guys want it.

There are actually several options on Amazon now. http://www.amazon.com/LG-G4-Battery...&qid=1436673751&sr=8-5&keywords=lg+g4+battery
Or you could just buy the OEM battery and cradle on eBay. Warning though, a lot of the sellers are selling them for $50+, so it all depends on how much you would want to spend.

WATCHING..
One battery is oK
Idea
I have been thinking about purchasing 2 extra batteries (bundled with an intelligent battery charger, on eBay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/111714300303?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT) in conjunction with the promo extra battery + battery cradle bundle I have on the way. I'd have a total of 4 batteries. I'd love to stop charging my phone itself altogether and save on wear and tear on my G4's microUSB port. What do you guys think? Good idea or not? The bundle off eBay would only run me $18.89.
UPDATE: It was a great idea! I never leave the house without a spare battery, and only plug my phone in when I'm in the car because I use it for music.
Invalid battery message
I bought the TrendON battery on Amazon but got an invalid battery message just after the phone booted. When I plugged the phone into the charger without the phone booted, I got another error message about an invalid battery.
Anyone else have problems with aftermarket batteries in the G4?
Update: I just tried the other battery (the package came with two spares and a wall charger) and it worked fine. So I guess the first battery is bad; the phone handles the other aftermarket battery fine.
I purchased Trendon on Amazon. Two batteries and a charger.
I tried 1 battery in the phone for a few charges. I left the other battery sealed.
I didn't feel like the Trendon battery lasted as long as the OEM battery. I wasn't going to spend hours investigating the issue or the other Trendon battery.
I found a Samsung OEM LG G4 battery on ebay and ordered it for $6 less than the Trendon package, although it was for one OEM battery only, which is all I needed. There were many sellers, but with experience, you can choose the seller you think has the best product. Not 100%, but you can reduce your risks. I only needed one spare, as I've carried for years with all my phones.
I returned the Trendon package, received the OEM battery which worked equal to the battery which came with the G4. After messaging with the seller, I was able to choose the date of manufacturer of the 2 dates available for the battery I wanted.
This is not to say that Trendon doesn't make a good product, but in my experience, I try to go with a spare OEM.
Don't buy Trendon!
I bought the Trendon two pack. Charged them both. Put one in the phone, closed the back and saw a puff of smoke roll out. Ripped the back off to find a hole melted at the corner of the battery and melted plastic on the back cover/SIM card. I think I'll be sending them back. (/sarcasm) Didn't bother to try the other one.

Well that's a little scary! I also bought the TrendOn 2 pack with charger. I've been using them for just over a week with several charges on each. So far haven't had any problems. One thing I noticed is that battery and BMS? temp are always locked at 23.5°C and 23°C when using the TrendOn batteries. Where the LG will fluctuate with usage. Right now BMS is showing 39°C and batt is showing 36°C (while plugged in/charging).
The benefit of that is my phone seems? to charge faster with the cable when using the TrendOn, but this could be a bad thing and potentially damaging to the phone/battery. I pay more attention to phone temp while charging if I'm using it, such as GPS in the car. With the OEM battery I'm not worried as much.
Overall I am satisfied with the TrendOn batteries. After a few charges I feel they last as long, if not longer, than the OEM battery that came with the phone. I bought my phone used so I'm unsure how much usage the original battery had.

LG G2 3300mAh BL T7 eBay battery

Hi guys, I research the battery to replace my old 1 1/2 year old battery and found out this
http://www.ebay.com.sg/itm/3300mAh-...LS980-VS980-/201392264411?hash=item2ee3ea14db
The battery seems to have more capacity than OEM LG G2's battery.
Does anyone tried this battery before?
If you purchased and tried it, which reseller did you buy from?
How is the result and battery life?
Thanks!
If it has risk of explosion stay away from cheap Chinese brands.

Try and let us know :laugh:
Those Chinese batteries always indicate higher than they actually are. Stay away from them, they're junk.
I had the same experience with the Samsung S4.
It's a marketing scam. The 3000mAh battery is pretty big itself, cramming extra 3300mAh is impossible without size increase (think about cell count)
Save yourself from stress & problems, get the 3000mAh one (and OEM if you find)
I tell you from experience that do not rely on the Chinese mh, are not real never
Go with a genuine part. If it swells or leaks, it will damage your phone.
