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,
Diggy

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 everyone. I tried to search it in here, but could not find.
Have anyone tried this battery?

Seems to me a better option, comparing it to chinese cheap batteries of ebay

I don't know if it is better, but it is very expensive for a battery with the same characteristics as the stock battery.
Why you want to buy this one? It's the same like the stock battery...
You can get the stock battery from official resellers cheaper than this one...
Where's the difference that makes the battery worth the higher price?

The resellers do not sell original battery for cheaper. They sell a knock off. I think it was proven in dozens of topics. The more expensive batteries, that are being sold in US, including original HTC batteries are going through more testing. So if my phone blows up, I can go and kick their ass for that matter
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.

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.
Hey all, a friend of mine is currently in Miami and I was thinking of buying a display and battery replacement for my old 3T. My question is would you know where to buy this that is both cheap and quick? I searched ebay and I found some replacements but they were all in China so they won't get to her before she has to return here.
Thanks!
You could get these supplied and fitted directly by OnePlus. I had to get my earpiece, camera and battery changed. The prices are very reasonable.
