Hey everyone, just looking for some extra batteries for my Nexus S, and I am struggling to find some Samsung Genuine ones. I have read about the Behold/Moment batteries I think, but I would prefer official ones first, however you may prove me wrong
Something along the lines of this (desktop charger for the Galaxy S) would also be nice to have, so I don't have to put it in the phone to charge. Would the above mentioned batteries work in such a charger?
I would also prefer and Aussie power plug, but I have plenty of universal adaptors lying around so it's no biggie
I'm just wary about getting dud batteries, having only had bad experiences with cheap ones before.
Cheers!
Ok I found this on the US Samsung site, http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/AB653850CABSTD, lists the Nexus S as compatible and also the Moment, so I may as well just get a couple of those Moment batteries off Amazon from thePruneDanish, as it seems to be the best for having real batteries, not copies.
I will still try and find more on the dock though.
Ok, on the dock front, I may as well get this one: http://www.cellphoneshop.net/m850desktop.html
But just one question about it. On my Nexus, if I charge via certain USB cables it will come up as USB connected and charge slower (I know why, that's not the point), so if I used a USB cable to power this charger, to charge the spare battery, would it also be slower? Or is it a hardware thing only of the Nexus.
Sorry for starting a new thread before finding out everything Just this last question! Then mods may delete it if they choose.

This one comes with the correct plug:
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300454233992
Works great, but when the charger is standing upright, the battery tends to pop out.
I bought a battery from the danish prude, and it is both genuine and 1500mAh. He seems to be out of stock, though.

Thanks, I had found that one, may get it as it works out a couple of dollars cheaper than the previous one (shipping mainly ).
As for thePruneDanish, did you get them to ship internationally? I just saw on the Amazon product page that is 'Shipping: Currently, item can be shipped only within the U.S.' can't be shipped outside of the US. Is this because it is a battery? And they can't be shipped easily or something? Also what is postage like to Australia (I have never been able to understand the shipping price table on Amazon :S )
Thanks so much for that though!

Forget Amazon, their shipping policies on electronics are insanely stupid. I bought from here:
http://stores.ebay.com/thePruneDanish
OEM BATTERY SAMSUNG SPRINT MOMENT 900mAh AB653850CA ($8.24 USD)
Shipping and handling ($12.56 USD)

Yeah, expensive shipping. But it's genuine and 1500mAh ...
I have no idea why it says 900mAh. Probably because it's compatible with the Samsung M900 Moment.

Thanks for that again! It may be worthwhile to get those, knowing they are the real thing. I was looking at these ones but the seller hasn't sold any of them so I'm hesitant about it. I wonder if thePruneDanish will consolidate, so like the US$12 shipping will cover both? That would be great if they did!

Sorry to question, but how can you tell if it is 1500mAh? Does it say on the battery itself, or does it have similar life to your original battery?
Ok well after some further investigating I can't seem to find any of the batteries on thePruneDanish's eBay shop, so I went local again. I found another listing for the exact same batteries by the same guy as I mentioned before, just this time they only had model numbers of the batteries (which is how I found it). Same price and all, however they have sold 12, which makes me comfortable.
Link is here.
I'll just bite the bullet and get 2 of them I think hopefully because they are all the same seller I can get them at the same time!

One of the questions is about the mAh, they replied 1500mAh so I guess it's half valid there. I understand it's a bit iffy, so I asked them if it's genuine and I'll see what happens there. That other seller still would be good if I could find some!
Edit: Can't find any mention of OEM anywhere on the page, dunno why I thought it was all good before. I hate it when the pictures aren't like ones taken by the seller! Off to look again I guess

Edit: That last seller you mentioned, on that page it states the battery is 1440mAh, does any of that matter? I don't care how large the batteries are really, but does it indicate fakes?

That was the 1850mAh battery that turned out to be 1150mAh. Not too surprising, actually.

It should work just fine, it just means that it's definitely not genuine. And that the mAh rating could be a bit optimistic.

The original AB653850CA battery was 1440mAh, before the Nexus S came along. It's a difference of 4%. Possibly measurable, but not noticeable.

I'd prefer to stick to genuine batteries personally, maybe it's nothing but when ever I have used generic ones in the past they suck, even worse than the near dead battery they had replaced. This time it's just for extra power however.

4% difference doesn't bother me in the slightest, it would be nice to have more but I really don't care So basically you have to trust the seller when they say it's 1500 or 1440 etc.
If anyone can find a non-amazon site to buy the 1500mAh version from thePruneDanish? eBay preferred, as is PayPal but whatever goes
The original code behind the battery is:
AB653850CA 1500 mAh
and seems like it's only available from Samsung USA
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/AB653850CABSTD
not even the UK samsung website shows it
This battery seems OEM. Everything looks identical to the original battery that came with the nexus s.

AllGamer, if the price is what worries you, how much would you expect to pay for a genuine battery, I'm not sure how long the Behold has been out but surely it is long enough for retailers to get them other than Samsung?
considering Samsung websites sells it for $30ish, anything less than $20 i'll be questioning
as the originals usually have some sort of margin to how low they can go
it might very well be real ones, but we wont know until we peel on of those stickers off, and or do a Meter test on the battery
so who wants to be a guinea pig?

Yeah, what worries me is that maybe they are real batteries (genuine I mean) but have some fault, ie water damage. Because I just had to change my SIM then and I saw the water indicator on the side, where the pictures dont show...
I wonder what the margin is? Anyone here work in retail and can give us an estimate?
I would be a guinea pig but they don't ship to me
I`ve just found this:
(can`t post link yet, so google it)
Mugen Power 3400mAh Extended Battery for LG Optimus Black P970 / DOCOMO LG Optimus Bright [HLI-P970XL]
Looks promising, capacity is more than double
Do you thik it will make phone thicker?
Yes, the phone will be thicker.
If you look at Mugen direktly (first hit on google) there will be extra shells shipped with the accu. If you close enough at the picture you will see a little pit at the camera spot. I assume it will be about 5 mm thicker or so.
Greetings

I really like the look of this extended battery. Since the phone is already so thin I don't think an extended battery will make as big of a difference as it does with other phones. My only issue is the $100 price tag. Hopefully there'll be more options by the time this phone hits the USA, specifically VMU.

OMFG ! How ugly ! OB lost all the sex !
There is a highly reputable, reliable and respected seller on ebay from whom I have bought many items (but not batteries). They are selling high capacity, japanese batteries for a reasonable price.
Go onto ebay and search for 'Gold 2430MAH battery optimus black'
I emailed them regarding the quality of the batteries and the price and basically their answer was that they have an excellent feedback score on almost all batteries they have sold and the price is good because they get it straight from the factory.
I have ordered a set and will report on it after some use

There are no miracles in that area, there's no physical possibility of having such a big capacity in such a small form.
This is more than 100% fake.

Here you can find users feedback about those batteries. All of them are fake. Higher capacity requires larger size so only Mugen batteries are not fake.
Where would you say is reliable to get a new battery then? To pay 30gbp for a mugen battery is too much I think

If you need new battery - buy original one, if you need longer time, think rather of buying good 5v charger. The one for P970 is 4.8v, and some of polish lg users claim that 5v extends battery live. Think of some original microUsb charger, eg.Nokia.

I think, if you need a good product, then it's normal to pay a good price. Besides, Mugen has great customer support on Facebook http://facebook.com/mugenpowerbatteries and Twitter and through their website. They changed 1 battery for me already without issues. I rather pay a 100$ and know that I can change the battery if it does not work, rather than buying a bulk of useless junk on eBay for 10$...same goes with any other product - you can buy cheep shows and throw them away in a month, or buy good ones and wear for a year.
How much is the extended battery?

Mugen over rates their batteries by quite a bit. Check batteryboss.org

No such thing as free lunch. If it is much cheaper it is for a reason.
When is the last time you bought a 50 dollar gold Rolex?

I got a similar pack for my 5800 when the original battery died and to be fair performance is better than i expected for a 15 euro

Just Noticed that Mugen HD2 Battery has been bumped to 1500mAh from 1300mAh.
http://www.mugen-power-batteries.co...585-1500mah-extended-replacement-battery.html
It costs almost double ($40) than original ($20). I'm willing to spend more amount if it delivers the promised extra juice? Has anybody tried this version yet
Extended battery.. :x
I'm planning to order one when they're back in stock, actually. But I'd say two things really matter:
1) It's same size as the stock battery so no new back cover required (which Mugen would include if you ordered one and it was needed) and yet it offers more capacity, and...
2) It's a Mugen battery.
#1 is relatively important but #2 is the selling point above and beyond anything else. If you haven't figured that out yet, I don't know what to tell you.

Thanks, man. I didn't think of checking whois. I guess I was looking for someone who had already bought a few batteries from the site before I spent my hard earned lucre on an iffy looking website.

Also, the 1300mah and 1500mah have the same model number ie. HLI-T8585SL which seems hard to believe

If you look at Wikipedia page for Mugen Power, it does mention that as its worldwide website. Also website Mugen.us (the US homepage for MP) also redirects to this website, as well as if you search Mugen Power on google, the first link comes as this one only.
I don't think any website selling fakes would all of these..

If you look at the link posted by Mister B, all mugen batteries are actualy 70-80% of their advertised capacity. So, don't buy them!
I think genuine or non genuine mugen is of little difference after seeing this test data & Mugens response to testing & its labeling of mAh ratings.
Wikipedia is public edited information so credibility is not always the best ...
This companies e-commerce marketing is awful & for the price they charge I would not bother.

Yes shame about Mugen.
If Lenmar is available to you easily it is probably worth getting as should imagine quality is as good or close to original cell.

good price with free delivery for US at Amazon

The thing that bothers me is that Mugen is actively promoting its brand, especially via twitter. See http://twitter.com/#!/MugenPowerShop and http://twitter.com/#!/MugenBatteries. Well, I hope that they will send me a sample of their much touted 2600mAh for review... then we will see whether their batteries live up to their marketing
I am getting an official review unit from Mugen. You can read more about the updates from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1380493. Thanks.
Hi, i like to buy a new batery for replace when my is over. I look at ebay but i think some are "fake". if someone has already bought one that works well can you tell me?
Thanks
I have heard that best way to avoid "fake" is to neglect ebay or amazon and to scout for branded batteries - anker, mugen, seidio. I use mugen and advise you too, they may seem costy but they are actually twice cheaper. Not only the batteries last longer during the day, but also in general they last longer in terms of life cycle of the battery. Usually batteries have maximum 100 recharges and then start to day (like one year of use), while branded aftermarket batteries like mugen for instance can be recharged 400 times. Do not do ebay..

I bought extra battery from htc care. Visit your nearest htc service centre and give order new battery.

And how mutch you pay for?
I bought a golden battery on ebay ( 2430mha and same size as stock ).
I cannot see any improvement since it lasts as long as the original one ( 1300mha ).
Simply buy an Andida which costs about $8 shipped WorldWide from Obbostore or available from some online store & local mobile shops.
Gold batteries are complete fake junk & Mugen over priced ...
We have over 20 HD2 devices issued to staff & in their 3rd year of use, we issued Andida as spares & have had no issues with them to date, had issues with Momax & local no name brands ...
In no way am I saying Andida is superb but performance seems close/same to standard & at Hong Kong direct price we would be mad to pay HTC genuine prices with no real benefit ...

Don't buy the battery made by Qcell..... I suggest you guys to try zerolemon battery for HTC hd2

Zerolemon do not do a battery for HD2.
Andida & the generic battery for HD2 are ok for price of say 5 to 7 USD & worldwide availability is a plus too.
Better more expensive option is a genuine or mugen if still available ...

So, after ~two weeks
Can''t see any real difference between originals old htc batteries and newer Andida.
My daughter stil needs everyday charging (3g, snapchat, always online,...)
Me, less heavy usage, from 1~2 days, now 2~3 days ok
Andida are ok for cheap price of around $5 like at vegacom & seem last ok (have some just over year old & still work ok)
Capacity is actually about 1130 to 1200mah which will be better than any very old well used original cell & very close to original standard capacity, main downside is no working temp sensors & a fixed resistor to fake a 25degC temp output :-S

Hey,, I have seen your zerolemon battery for all HD2 from amazon.com. it look's not bad but i think it needed updated...
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.
