Cheap eBay Sourced 1500mAh Batteries

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.
Again, we apologize for the inconvenience. If there is anything else we can do to assist you, please feel free to let us know. Thank you.

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.

[Q] OEM Battery?

I asked for an extra battery for Christmas. I specified that it needed to be shipped and sold from Amazon but mom didn't pay attention, and I got a 3rd party sellers battery. It may be legit but I've been burned before from Amazon sellers (Amazon made good).
So I think this battery that I received is the VZW one, an EB595675LZ. My current battery is an EB595675LA.
Will I get the same performance from this one? Should I go thru the hassle of returning and getting the right one?

Here in Czech Republic, available is Samsung EB595675LU. It is bulk(not is individual bilster packing) seems to work as good as the one came with the phone. It is selling in local market for around 12 USD.
May be you can give it a try and see how does it perform. Hassle of sending it back and waiting for the other, depends on how long is your current battery performing.

Battery replacement. Where to buy

Hello,
I'm about to replace the battery in my moto g xt1541.
The problem I have, is that I do not know where to buy a battery with enough quality.
With older phones, when batteries could be easily swapped, I discovered that once the original battery was bad I could start buying new batteries for it, but all of them were fake and duration was similar to the faulty battery they were supposed to replace.
So, someone has some experience with spare batteries for this model?
I see in ebay and different retailers, the same item with prices going from 5 $ to 30 $ but for same product (at least the same photograph). Manufactured by PRO-POWER COMMUNICATION CO.LTD.
Any advice??
I live in spain, so probably european stores are prefered. I think shipping batteries from USA is not easy.

STOCK OEM BATTERY

Anyone found a good battery replacement?

Still have the original T800 going strong. Problem is battery is crap, understandably. I replaced it with one I bought from eBay. Looked just like the real Samsung battery, but didn't work like a new battery. Maybe it was pulled out of an unit. Have to charge all the time and it'll fail soon probably.
Anyone found a good reasonably priced battery? There's newpower99 but man they are expensive!
Thanks

I bought one last year for my T800 from the seller below via ebay. I've been happy with it - it basically doubled my battery life - though not quite as good as the original stock battery when I first bought the Tab. I didn't look to see if they still sell them.

No, it's not expensive, it's an excellent battery and it costs every euro you pay. I bought that battery for my 8.4 s tab and now my consumptions are incredible, I have doubled the screen hours or more ... Of 10 hours or more in several days of use!

I have used that kind of brand in an old Sony ebook reader. In the end I checked the serial number of the battery provided and it was a rebranded Cameron Sino (a honkong based company) battery.
As far as I could Google, CS specializes in replacement batteries for devices where the vendors do not provide any for end users. Not sure how good they are in the long term.
They say they have all the necessary brandings, but as we know the CE logo is just a sheet of paper nowdays and how far can you trust chinese companies with what they say about security brandings.
I always have a bad feeling by using third party batteries because I know about the fire risks li ion batteries can cause if they are badly manufactured (who knows where the cells for the CS batteries come from). CS probably does not produce their own cells, but also just puts cells together from who knows where. But take this with a grain of salt, I could be wrong here. Also do not trust vendors who say they sell original batteries. I once bought overpriced Apple replacement batteries for a 2009 laptop, in the end I ended up with the usual no name trash sold for this machine but twice the price.
I´d say it is overdue that we get laws to force the OEMs to provide original replacement batteries for every device sold. They also might stop doing stupid things luke gluing battery cells to the cases that way or stop making battery replacements as hard as possible. We need a right to repair forced by law.

I agree, and it's not even repairing ! Only a right to do basic maintenance.

Mi A2 Lite Battery (BN47), where to buy authentic

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...
