Okay i have seen some chargers on ebay that are 3rd party not made by LG but was wondering are the 3rd party chargers any good to buy as they are half the price. Some of these replacement generic chargers work well.
Now im not sure the stuff on ebay is actually genuine, but do the third party charger work just as good like some mobile chargers. Im gonna throw this one around at work anyhow so i don't really want to fork out more money if they work the same. Maybe someone can share their experience on the actual product rather than stating what they think such as "you get what you pay for" or "always buy genuine for warranty and safety".
Thanks for any Information given
Kind Regards
All The Best
I bought one from ebay which stated that it was not genuine but would be suitable for my Urbane. When it arrived from China it was too big for my watch to sit in so was basically useless. But to be fair I did get an immediate refund and didn't need to post the charger back which saved some hassle.
has anyone else found any good alternative chargers?
Thanks!

im a bit skeptical since it is on ebay what do you guys think?

Sounds why to good to be true and if it is I would be quite concerned about it's safety
i have bought many items from hong kong on ebay
i thought the g1 battery was 5v and not 3.7v? maybe i'm wrong
heres a feedback from someone who bought the item:
"As Described, Havent seen the benefit of the xtra capacity yet, but it works gr8"
1600mah Spare Battery for HTC G1 Google Phone NEW (#390071957890)
I would trust him since the guy has over 30,000 transactions, and has feedback of 98.7%
ok im going to bite the bullet and purchase it (30,000 transactions and 98.7% positive sounds pretty good to me!) and if it isnt 1600mah at least i have a spare battery
jadi929, I love feedback following on eBay too, you can easily uncover some rampant lies (like following the same "untested" item back through several sales).
I'm still in the market for a high capacity standard size,
I bought this one as a basic replacement: http://cgi.ebay.com/z388-Battery-Fo...ries?hash=item3a51ceee23&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14
It came this morning, but they've sent me this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/T-MOBILE-HTC-OE...ries?hash=item5ad2ee643b&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14
Whatever, it was only £2.50, and since those are cheapest prices, I've kinda of got a more expensive one.
Currently waiting on this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/HTC-G1-T-MOBILE...s?hash=item4ceabd1c59&_trksid=p3286.m63.l1177
So hope you can post something positive on that one, maybe I'll have one too.

No they are 3.7v, charging is at 5v so it's compatible with USB.
I just ordered a 3-pack of 1500mAh batteries with a battery charger for like $12 shipped from eBay. Since they are coming from Hong Kong, I have a bit of a wait, but has anybody tried the eBay batteries on their Xperia Play?
I used similar batteries on my Samsung Captivate with no problems other than they seemed to be only slightly less capacity than my original (based on non-scientific gut checks at the end of the day of how much charge I thought I should have.)
In searching before posting this, I saw some nightmares in the HTC forums where they peeled back the label from their batteries and found them rated by another label 500mAh less than what the top label said.
I'll report back either way when they arrive.
Got them in today. I took some pics to show what they look like right out of the pack. Notice that they all have the same S/N. Hmmmm
The charger has a USB port at the bottom and glows red when charging. If it is like the other eBay battery chargers I've seen, it will likely turn a different color when full.
Will report back once I've had a chance to use them.
Good luck with the batteries. I couldn't find the offer with 3 batteries so maybe they took it out in the last month (ebay.com).
If they turn out to be ok it could be a good investment for an emergency. Looking forward to your results.
I picked up the batteries from this seller.
As it turns out, two of the batteries seem to be bad. I sent a note to the seller to see about making it right. I'll update the thread with whatever the outcome turns out to be.
Regardless, the one that is working is doing a great job. I've been using it in place of my original battery, and so far, I can't seem to tell any difference.
Update: I accepted an offer for my Xperia Play, so I won't be following up here. I sold it with the good extra battery and am probably going to get a Samsung next.
I bought a set with 2 batteries and they seem to work fine, just slightly less capacity as the original. I know just charge the batts separately and swap them when I need a new one.
I got this response from the seller:
Dear Customer,
Thank you for shopping with us.
We apologize for the inconvenience. We are now processing replacement for you.
Customer satisfaction is important to us, as a token of courtesy, there is no need for you to return the original item to us.

That was really nice of them. I checked the seller but they won't ship outside of the US, even tho it's coming from Hong Kong D:
There's a chinese company that makes 1800mAh batteries for the X10. They work in the play, and are good quality. All the reviews said they actually offered better battery life, unlike a lot of cheap alternatives. I can't remember the brand name, but they're black with gold writing.
Sent from my R800a
Normally I wouldn't trust third party batteries from eBay, although I did buy an extended battery for my laptop off of Amazon over a year ago (third party) and it stills holds a charge fantastically.
Hello,
I'm looking for something like this to charge my spare battery, but I have few options since I'm outside USA. I've seen plenty of good options at amazon, but none which can be shipped to my country, and I don't trust "unbranded"/generic products related to battery because it can kill the battery life or, worst scenario, leak or explode.
My options are limited to ebay, DX or aliexpress (or any shop with cheap international shipping), can someone recomend me something (trustable) about U$10-U$15?
There are too many options but you are living outside United States. One thing you can do is go to amazon.com and find products......Of course you will have to do some research but you will find it....

LG has a battery charger but I don't believe they're selling it separately. I got it on pre-order and I will not sell it to you
Try something like that There's 3 different models on that page.
This store sales LG original parts: http://www.spareslg.com
Original battery is 18,11€ plus taxes, try email tham and ask for the charger.
that's an interesting question... so you have a spare battery for your phone? Why not just get a power bank, or something like that? THose must be more readily available than what you're looking for.
Im not really much of a reviewer so im not going to make a indepth review this product, but im making this post for two reason,
1. Show a good nice for the price power bank.
2. Give a link to a GENUINE listing of this powerbank, because from what i have seen there are more fakes than genuine for sale.
Pros: I have to say that i love this powerbank its handy and never seems to run out of charge . It doesn't heat up at all unlike some other powerbanks i have used, making it more power efficient and comes with lots of features that you can find on its product page. + Awesome build quality
Cons: Its heavier than you would expect (not that bad tbh) and it takes very long to charge.
http://www.gearbest.com/mobile-power-bank/pp_143298.html
I just want to add after purchase you might want to contact gear best to get tracking info (if you paid for it).
If you guys have questions, i will answer :good:.
Nice to hear about it. Will this power bank also work in another phone's

Yep it comes with a micro usb cable but if you have an iPhone you can always just use a personal lightning cable.
Always buy Xiaomi products from their official stores
This is the official store of Xiaomi www.mi.com/en/powerbank/ Buy from here because everywhere else they're selling fake powerbanks.
Have you even tried to buy it from there?
No, because they overcharge for stuff such as delivery, for UK its $20 for delivery. So with taxes the overall cost is $40. So its not worth it.
Hence I chose gearbest because the power bank had very good reviews. Also when I bought it I checked if it was real via xiaomi, so basically I know this is real.
Yes I have.
In India, they charge ₹50 (0.75 USD) for orders below ₹599 (9 USD). Above that, they ship the product without any charge.
Good that you got the original product.
I'm not sure about other countries, but I'm just talking about charges if you are delivering to UK.
I just bought this thing off Ebay and didn't do my homework because some people have bought other wireless chargers that were cheap like this one. I'm going to go to Best Buy and will pick up the original one to compare to the one that is coming. The one off ebay is $39.99 while the one's on BB is $69.99. Sounds too good to be true. I already contacted the seller and told them that I WILL KNOW if it's fake. I'll post my findings here so no one gets screwed like probably I did. I'm going to return it (almost certain).
Sounds too good to be true, so.....
Keep us posted.

I saw a video on YouTube where someone waswas explaining tdifferences between a fake wireless charger and an original wireless charger. There were somesome subtle differences and you could only tell by having the original and fake one side by side. I think that someone mentioned that the fake one would only do a "wireless charging", while the original one would say "fast charging", when you would put the phone (S7 edge) on the charger. Also there are power bricks that are fake too. Honestly, I would only buy these charges from BB and maybe B&H. Not even AMZN, because there have been fake ones in there too. I'll pick up the original one probablyprobably today from BB. The one from Ebay is coming tomorrow, but I'm not holding my breath.
OK, so I just picked up the original wireless charger pad for $75 at the local BB. Now I have to wait for the one coming from eBay. I also bought a car charger that is supposed to be from Samsung too, but BB doesn't carry that one. I'm also weary about the car charger. It sucks to have to deal with this, but it is what it is.
Update: just tested the car charger bought from Ebay (hopefully original Samsung charger). My phone does say "fast charging", so I'm thinking that is a good sign.
I've just recently taken delivery of four of these (black) sold and shipped by Amazon.com LLC for $36.34 a piece.
They are quite genuine. Not sure why anyone would want to risk eBay when those are available.

Some of the stuff I buy from eBay ends up coming from Amazon. But anyways, after carefully looking at the one that came from BB and the one that came from Ebay, the Ebay one seems original, but it almost looks used (the BB one looks more glossy, if that makes sense). Also the chargers look slightly different. The Ebay one has a V in the back, while the BB one has a VI. Also, the packaging is different too, so I'll probably be returning both and buying one from AMZN like it was mentioned above. Even at AMZN you have to be careful because some sellers do slip fake chargers in there too. So bottom line, don't get this from Ebay.

Precisely why I referenced Amazon.com LLC as the seller. Maybe others have had an experience dissimilar to mine, but I've never received a fake product from them - and even if it were to happen, has anyone ever had them deny a legitimate return?
With Red Weasel Sales (TM) you take your chances. Maybe you'll win, maybe you'll get burned.
If you find out it's real, and there's more, please post up links. Nobody wants to pay full price lol.
