Anyone know where to get an OEM battery? I bought one from Injured Gadgets and was sent a knock off that dies at 17%
I don't wanna throw money away on another knock off on eBay, has anyone else bought a real OEM replacement and where from?
Most places will not carry OEM batteries despite their claims for the same.
There are basically 3 grades in this field: cheap, high(er) quality, OEM/original.
The best you can hope for is the high quality ones but even those are not guaranteed to perform anywhere close to the original. The best bet is to take it to a service center to get the replacement. It costs more but the results are way better than other option which will cost more in the longer run.

got mine from parts4mobiles.com seems to be oem... cost about 10pound
had it three weeks now.... seems to be normal Samsung battery.... easy to change if you have hair dryer and couple other things.... check out you tube examples
Anyone know a reputable US seller? Lots of Ebay sellers say their batteries are OEM, but I'm not sure it's true.

My OEM battery for my Advantage is starting to show some age. I can't seem to find an OEM replacement on the web. I've had checkered experience with replacement batteries -- especially from ebay -- in the past. So, I'm wondering if anyone wants to make a recommendation for either a specific battery or specific web vendor.
I know there's another thread about batteries, but they seem to focus on ebay batteries or one which costs $82.00. That's a bit pricey for me.
Thanks!

so, if you'll excuse my ignorance, what's so special about the mugen battery? I've looked at them but was wondering why they're so expensive. 200ma more doesn't seem worth that kind of premium. However. I'd consider it if it were worth the extra cash.
thanks again.
Its more on the principle, you get wa you pay for! Mugen lasts longer and i believe they have a better warranty for them.Mugen specializes in extended batteries.If you just need a battery but dont have the cash ,then the 20$ battery good for now,no problems so far its been almost a month and charges hold well.
any one got links to those 2400 batteries?
i've checking ebay and googling online, but i can't find them
I am tempted to get one as a backup for when I travel...
http://cgi.ebay.com/Lithium-Battery...m?hash=item270213135346&_trksid=p3286.c0.m234
the one on the link is a standard 2200 not 2400
2200 is the one from factory
Hello all,
I am now considering buying a replacement battery. Has anyone bought one of these? Is it a safe / intelligent choice?
Best Regards
i didn't not buy any replacement battery before ... i always get the original one .. more safe man
I usually advise going with OEM batteries. They are tested and work properly. I have bought non-oem before and they almost exploded in my device because they expanded. You can get OEM batteries online for a reasonable price if you look around.
Cheers,

Hi.
I like this phone. I have just bought one second hand and I think its a definite keeper. I think I will keep it for years and years haha
So I would like to buy a battery for the future. Now I am unsure how old the handset I bought is, so it could possibly have a 2 year old battery in it. They battery life seems ok but it may quickly deteriorate in the future.
Does anyone know of any legit places for batteries?
Cheers.
EBay.

ebay is safe just make sure it states in listing oem, new and EX34, thoroughly test upon reviving and if item is not as described initiate a return and your only out time and effort
I've seen some on eBay. All from the States. They are very cheap at about 5 UK pounds after conversion + postage costs. The cheapness got me worrying about them bring fake.
Oh I don't want to try the battery out. I will buy one and put it in the draw. I do not want to crack this phone open for fun; only if it's truly necessary. I saw the ifixit video for battery replacement and it looks a PITA. Just way too much adhesive going on. So the battery has to be legit ideally.

Any one tried it? Got to looking on ebay and they're dirt cheap like 15 bucks but come in a weird samsung packaging also come from china. Trying to replace this crap one I got from Verizon that goes in and out.

You're kidding, right? Every red flag imaginable and you are still considering it?

Agreed. For $20 more you can get the Choetech fast wireless charger or Samsung fast wireless charger for $52 on Amazon. You pay more, but you know you'll be getting a legit product and can always return it if you have issues.

By all means show me the red flag that you see in this? Also if you have any problems and pay with PayPal the money is still refunadable.

*sigh* That's just a picture. On the internet. Get back to us when you have the actual product in hand. But OK - first and foremost the price - what would make you think anyone anywhere can sell a genuine Samsung product that retails for $50 and up for $15 including shipping from China? Second, China - where counterfeiting and bootlegging run rampant. Third, the feedback ratings for these sellers, with numerous accusations of counterfeit products.
You complain about the 'crap one' you got from Verizon (why don't you take it back? It must still be under warranty) - and yet you want to take a chance on this? With your $800 phone? Sure, maybe you can get a refund from PayPal - these sellers bank on the fact that most won't bother - but good luck if that thing fries your phone.
In any event, it's your money/time/grief - fill your boots, and best of luck.
Genuine Samsung fast wireless chargers are $50 at best buy.
get genuine 50 is not bad
Keep in mind that the China eBay ones do not come with the Samsung Adaptive Charge charger and cable, just the puck.
Hi,
My mother's A2 Lite battery swelled inside the phone, and the phone restarts anytime. Here in Brazil we don't have official Xiaomi support places, just lots of small stores where I can buy very inferior clone batteries, which don't hold the phone on for much time, just for some hours.
I think its very hard to know who is selling a authentic battery just based on the price. Do you know a seller who sells authentic BN47 batteries? Or how to import it straight from Xiaomi? I can't find it anywhere!

How can I be sure if the battery is original? We have a lot of online sellers here too. Don't get me wrong, but original parts are way harder to get in these sites.
The first seller in your eBay search is a trusted seller, however the battery seems too cheap to be original (EUR12.90)... I once bought some large sized SD Cards from trusted sellers, paying a reasonable amount of money and all the cards resulted fake. I got a refund after all, but I don't want to pass through this again.
I would even buy a more expensive one if I was assured the battery to be authentic. Maybe some personal recomendations would help.

Well, actually, it seems I bought a relatively cheap but good clone battery (at a physical store), at least for the first week... It is practically identical to the original one, but the seller assured it is a clone, but a "first line" one. Surprisingly, at the moment, it is performing better than my own 3 year original battery.
I will keep an eye in the performance and lifetime of this battery, if I see it's quickly degrading I will try to follow your advice.
PS: A warning for anyone willing to open the phone and change the battery: pay attention when opening the phone because there's a big chance of cutting the short small flat from the fingerprint sensor. Yeah, I damaged the phone's fingerprint sensor...
