I’m recently looking for Note 3 backup battery for my friend and had luckily come across posts reviewing nice batteries I assume made in china while searching on Google. I decided to buy one from mpj for my Google Nexus S first. Received the battery several day ago, did a calibration---used the battery till its empty then charge it from empty to full. Have to admit its unexpected good. With same dimensions like the stock but gives me several hours more before it died. I have been stuck with the original batteries for years but now I begin to trust the Chinese suppliers who I always had believed were scammers.

I just got a new battery for both my NS and my wifes NS, off ebay and they seem pretty good.. I can't say battery is better or worse than OEM, but better than our tired 2yr old batteries..
Mine is almost dead and autonomy is very poor... You have a link ?

In my honest opinion, oem's are just as cheap as knock-off's and a new battery will still out perform your old one.. The ones to be weary of are the extended batteries that are the same size by "odd" makers.. Try this -here- it's only 9euros
Ok. I also think OEM is better... I'll check your link, it's a french shop so perfect for me !

I got one like a year ago from Amazon and it was perfect. I would like a bigger one but there wasn't any by that time...is there some now? I would buy it if it is a big difference.
Good luck btw, be careful with scams man:good:
how much did you pay for your oem batteries from amazon and ebay?
when I see "new" "oem" for $ 4-5 I also see a few feedback claiming that the battery are not new (maybe related to other model of batteries)
I bought one for $ 7.50 from ebay, I will let you know about the quality if I unbrick my nexus S
I've been looking for new batteries for a while now (including screen protectors too, since there not too many local sellers.
Anybody recommend good links for dependable OEM batteries on ebay (those which preferably ship worldwide)? I'm scared that I may get a bad battery.
well, i'll check out and see.

Not all of them are trustworthy, but many of the Chinese suppliers are providing good stuff.
Good luck.

Hi everyone,
I found a cheap 1500 mAh battery (with charging cradle) for 8.30$ on Dealextreme, shipping included.
It's most certainly not 1500 mAh, but at that price I want to give it a try, as an emergency battery.
It's only my second post and I can't add links yet, so go to Dealextreme.com and type SKU 57063 in the search bar.

Question is: will it fit in an i9023 Nexus S? On the site it's written for i9020, and I've heard there is a difference in thickness between the two models, so I'm wondering if it has something to do with the battery.
I've asked on the site but no answer for now.
Thanks for reading, sorry for syntax faults if any =)
Edit: i found this post: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=940263 more or less same battery manufacturer (yeah, China) and review seems pretty engaging

First of all, the thickness of the i9023 has nothing to do with the battery. It has SCLCD, with backlight. That's what's making it thicker. So they've got the same battery.
Second, I wouldn't recommend any other battery than an OEM one. I have ordered this one a few weeks ago, so it should arrive on my doorstep in a couple of days. If you are patient, I'll make some tests and come back here with the results.

Awesome, thanks guys.
At those prices, it's definitely worth just keeping a spare battery around

Review of this battery
I have been using this since 3-4 months as a spare battery and I can tell you that this one works well. Find my review here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1026003
I always think the DX offers the cheapest items among the large online stores, and I find there are another ones with much more items sold at much better prices , just, you can search from Pickegg.com, you will find a lot.
Nexus S battery
Hi,
The battery that you are talking about, I am currently using it and here is my personal review on the same.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1026003
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.
Sincerely,

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.

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.
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..

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 ...

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 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.

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.

I went Here for my T700
Supposedly they are an authorized samsung parts distributor

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.
