[Q] Fake battery?

Hey,
I purchased a battery on Ebay for like 8$.
Shipped from Germany and claims to be genuine.
My tests:
Weight- Old genuine battery 33 grams, New battery 35 grams.
The stickers probably weigh a little bit so the battery supposed to weigh even less than 33.
Voltage- Old is about 4.078V at 100% charge, New is about 4.123V at 100% charge.
I don't really see a huge improvment in battery life although my old one 3.5 year old one.. Yet it's not worse for sure..
The old one has to be genuine since I got it with my device from a big cell phone provider store.
I uploaded pictures of them both. My old one (with stickers on it on the first image) and the new one (with the "original" sticker).
Thank you.
PS: scanning the QR on the old one gives "GH43-03441A+EB575152VU".
Scanning the new ones QR gives its serial number instead.

German quality should be good.

"Should be".. But how is it in my case?
The seller also sells these batteries from Spain too.. So I dont know how it's done and how "German" are they..
Anyhow they are made in Korea.. So it's doesn't really matters.
Do the states and looks seem ok?

i've already had 3 batteries, the stock battery, then a polarcell and now a Anker, and as far as i can see i need to recharge every evening, so i can't say the autonomy is improving!
However, since i run CM rom, i feel that the battery consumption is huge, whenever i browse the internet while on 3g!

Hey,
Thanks for the comment and trying to help.
But TBH I didn't really get the point in your words and how it answers any of the questions.

Hey,
The one thing that's really throwing me off here is in the 3rd to last picture, which shows the top of the battery - 3 small grooves instead of 2.
To compare and see whether there is any variation I did a check with both my S3 batteries and they're identical at the top. I can't get hold of my mother's Galaxy S right now so I can't compare how her batteries look (one was bought recently and the other was from 2010).
However I'm thinking that a genuine battery would look identical at the top as well.
Hope that helps, but someone with a better knowledge of these batteries will be able to tell you more.

Hi there,
I'm in New Zealand and my battery looks exactly like your original, made in china etc.
and has the 3 patches on the bottom edge.
your new battery looks close enough to me, it looks good, it fits the phone and it works.
the question I see is for $8 does it matter if its a fake?
(not really helpful in identifying a fake, just my opinion)

well it's going to matter, if the battery ends up exploding while your phone is in your pocket.

i've had my share of batteries, and they are all the same as far as battery life in real conditions is concerned!
The interesting part in your pictures is in fact the manufacturing date! Since it reads that it was manufactured in 2014, maybe the differences come from a manufacturing process that has changed (improved?) over time. At the very least you could consider yourself lucky that they did not ship you a 2010 battery, because i don't think batteries do age well.

Hey mate,
Did you mean "the buttom" insted of "the top"?
Because if you are talking about the picture with the buttom of the batterires where you can see 2 patches on one and 3 on the other, then it's the buttom of the battery.
The one with 3 patches is the original one and the one with 2 is the new one.
Thanks for your comment.

That's what I thought, that the proccess might have changed or something.. Maybe just different factories make different looking batteries (small changes)..
Who knows?
I dont believe it's going to explode or anything.. Unless it ain't as good of a fake inside of the battery..
Thanks again

Why is your battery so worn out? lol
And about the poor brod, fakes come in all kinds of shapes and qualities.. Who knows what kind of battery she bought..
Plus I dont think batteriess just tend to explode for no reason.. Extra heat would be a good sign for a risk of explosion.. As long as the battery is cool as the original and works as the original, I don't see any reason why it would do any damage.
I just want to find out if the battery is real cuz it's interesting to me. I wont throw it away if it isn't. It works just fine and cool.
Thanks

Why don't you simply ask the vendor to attach the guaranty of Samsung to the package. This is the only way you will know for sure if it is the real deal.
As far as i am concerned for things like that i always go for the real deal (i.e avoid Chinese products at all costs) even if it means paying an extra buck, because you know i don't have no spare legs!

I dont know.. I think that if Ebay sellers had any papers considering the battery they would add it.. I dont think they have any..
And all products are made in china.. Doesn't matter how much you pay for them.. You can't avoid it.
Again, batteries dont explode without a warning and genuine ones are not safe from exploding either..

I am stuck with exactly same problem with my samsung tab S 8.4 and want battery replacement for my Tab. and i also need this battery to be shipped to pakistan.
I came across few links but none is shipping to pakistan.
There is one item at Aliexpress.com and they ship to worldwide but my own experience with aliexpress is not that good as all items are of very low quality, soo kindly if anyone comes across some good solution, help me too.

Just purchased one from Newpower. Seems OK - I haven't installed it yet as it is to be a standby in case it is needed. Yes it is expensive and beware - there will be import duty and tax to pay on top. I had to pay approx $28.00 more for this in the UK. Bill Kelly seems to be the owner/boss at Newpower who does the voice in their excellent video on their site and DVD provided with battery. Following my initial enquiry to express my doubts as to the quality etc he e'mailed to say that the battery comes to USA (Dallas) and is 3rd party, manufactured in Orient, and he needed my business (ordered only one battery).
Anyway the battery is marked Cameron Sine Technology - so try to see if you can buy it for considerably less from elsewhere. Where else would provide a special opening device / tool least likely to cause damage.
I noticed that the link to aliexpress indicates that the "genuine" battery was no longer available between 24 to 27 February when I checked. Send an e'mail to Bill Kelly and ask about shipment to Pakistan - it was not listed in the shipment list when you pretend to purchase for some reason.
I found 3 suppliers on eBay from Hong Kong, Wisconsin USA and Bischofswerda Germany with wildly varying prices and no doubt trustworthiness.

eBay replacement..
Hi ya'll... As most of you been experiencing, I have been having a lot of battery issues.
The battery levels drops in big dumps... Charge takes too long ( overnight for full charge) but doesn't last more than 3hrs... Charges too quickly (less than an hour) but also dies out within 30mins. When charge gets below 25% screen starts flickering and then it continuely reboots!
Anyways I finally decided to get a new battery, I went with eBay seller "Fashcover" item as it was $30AUD shipped and it also had all the tools required (actually had a lot more than needed). So after 2 weeks I finally received it, it only takes 10-15mins to replace the battery.
Pretty much all the markings are similar,the electric connecting wires are of different color combinations & it's 1-2mm smaller than OEM in width!
So far I've been able to use it for 4hrs straight, still have 30% remaining... Atleast now the battery slowly goes down instead of the jumps! But still battery life isn't anywhere near iPad minis!
Battery doesn't last long on 100% charge, it drops to 99% within a minute or 2 of disconnecting from charger..

You guys with the 8.4" seem to have quite a few problem compared to the 10.5" version, like display quality and now battery issues, or is it just a lot more people with the 8.4" or something.
And as far as i have read, after charge the battery dropping from 100% to 99% when the charger is unplugged or shortly after is normal so dont worry.
Below is a battery recalibration guide, for some of you it sounds like the battery is really faulty and needs replacing, it`s a shame you have to pay for it when it`s still in warranty.
John.
You can calibrate the battery like this before you decide to buy a new one
Fully charge the battery with the phone on and when the phone is fully charged, unplug the charger and turn it off.
When your phone is off, plug it into the charger and let it charge to 100% again. The green LED light will indicate when this is done.
Next unplug the charger, turn on your phone and set the option to ensure that your screen doesn’t turn off, if you have this option. Then reconnect to the charger and wait for it to charge again to 100%.
Once charged to 100%, unplug the charger again and do not charge until the smartphone turns itself off after reaching a 0% battery level. Once off, fully charge it again and it should work properly. The screen setting can put back to normal again (meaning turn off after a certain amount of time).
phones with oled displays should not show static images for a long time as it can cause burn-in

this is the issue with almost all the tabs. people dont really accept it but this issue is there. there might be few exceptions but overall, the battery life SUCKS steel balls covered with goo and horse **** with toppings of slime and pig ****.
i have had enough issues with this ****ty tablet. i so loved this tablet that i spent almost twice its price on just repairs. but it was not meant for me may be. i had to sell it in scrap.
i have already warned people about its battery. there is a reason people get iPads when they want tablets. i have never owned one, but i have used one. and yes Android tablets, especially Samsung tablets SUCK!
my advice would be to sell it off ASAP, and instead get something else. you will face more issues, i can promise you that at least in battery life. rest its your choice.

its not that there are many people with 8.4, it might be, because of its smaller size but its not entirely the case. the truth is the battery in this tablet used by samsung is of worst quality even when compared to their lower end tablets. this was supposed to be Samsung's FLAGSHIP tablet but they ruined it with battery.
& yes 100 to 99 when u plug it out, thats understandable, but how can anyone explain a brand new, out of the box tablet, go from 99% to 63% in JUST SETTING UP THE TABLET WHICH TAKES LIKE LITERALLY 3 MINUTES???
"THAT'S" the issue people were facing.
and this is the reason you will not see samsung marketing it anymore now. even on their youtube channel. even samsung knows it was a full flop.
i personally know, 3 people other than myself who got this tablet. and all, including myself, had this issue. and NO we all didnt get these from same seller or even same country. and they were of different batch.

I always wondered if company's send b-grade products to country's with not the best consumer protection for faulty goods.
And 99% to 63% in 3 minutes is not normal, but it is possible that the tablet just needs the battery calibrating and there are a few guides out there, if the battery is still bad after that then return it or get it repaired.

How to identify original or fake LG G2 battery

i'm going to replace my current LG G2 battery.... When replacing it with the new how will i know that the new battery is original or fake?????

Just get it from LG directly.Hopefully that should be not a fake.

in fake battery nfc does not work

How do you buy it directly from lg?

Sorry for reviving a dead thread but I was looking for a replacement battery for the LG G2 also and had called LG to get a price. They will NOT sell the battery instead. They say you must send the device in and they will not even give an estimate over the phone, rather, they will give a price once the phone IS IN THEIR HANDS. So you're basically screwed if they decide to charge you $200 to replace the battery and the representative could not give any ball park figures at all.

Original battery must be 43gramm, fake around 33gr. In Russia Official LG service can replace originall battery for 35$ with work.
With new battery my phone now can play around 7h30m 720p video on full brightness. With old almost 4h30m. You can see difference.

djchru said:
No they don't. They actually don't make batteries for the G2, so any batteries you see for sale with the LG logo are either from "decommissioned" original phones which date back to 2013 or from used phones. So, in the end, you may be better off...

Be noticed that all of below information are not yet confirmed.
I discovered the difference between original and fake since searching trough forums and own experience. :victory:
Design od LG BL-T7 battery has not changed ever since. Still the only one with the stepped back side. Should look like the battery on right side of these pictures, otherwise it is nor factory replacement (aka fake):
http://i.imgur.com/2Yt8cvDh.jpg
http://i.imgur.com/hkVpceYh.jpg
http://i.imgur.com/XtEH5AQh.jpg
The main difference is in litle bulk under printing "BL-T7", arrows under the NOM icon and next right is noticeable differnce in T in that symbol, fonts differ and last letter of chineese behind the manufactured day,...
There is a believe that non-original batteries are not that bad at all, only they have poor wiring and connection port which often makes them behave unexpectedly.

Batteries without LG logo (unbranded or 3rd party) manufactured 2015 and on could be better than original (definitely better than unpopular fake ones) as new original batteries are from 2013/2014 (told to be "decommissioned or used" - not confirmed).

One thing I've noticed receiving my battery today is, if you look at the 4 cubes on the right with the icons, the original ones have lines at the back of the icon, where as the fake/non-genuine ones have the line in front of the icon (last icon).
In pictures from the previous post it also confirms this.

Battery life seems to be great to far 5+hrs SOT, mind you I've only had it for 2 days.
My battery came with the tools you linked but not in the battery package box, just in some electrostatic foil.

I've bought this one:
http://www.cellephone.de/en/cell-ph...y-li-polymer-for-lg-g2-replaced-bl-t7/a-4757/
I used polarcell batteries in my previous phones and have great experience with them. I didn't want to risk with mostly fake chinese batteries, so this was a safe bet. I charged it last night so i still have to fully discharge it yet. The original battery was almost 2 years old, and it started to loose its capacity. Not too much, but it was noticeable and there is the fact that I wanted to give new life to an ageing phone
The replacement went ok, with the hardest part being the removing the old battery which was glued pretty good to the base of the phone.

I used polarcell batteries in my previous phones and have great experience with them. I didn't want to risk with mostly fake chinese batteries, so this was a safe bet. I charged it last night so i still have to fully discharge it yet. The original battery was almost 2 years old, and it started to loose its capacity. Not too much, but it was noticeable and there is the fact that I wanted to give new life to an ageing phone
The replacement went ok, with the hardest part being the removing the old battery which was glued pretty good to the base of the phone.

What do you think about new battery performance?
And for everyone: Is the D802 battery compatible with my D800?

Reliable seller for OEM batteries?

I'm looking to replace the battery in my N5x. Amazon and eBay have plenty of listings for OEM batteries but many seem sketchy and I assume they're fakes. Does anyone know where we can reliably buy legit LG batteries? Are there any reputable sellers? I would consider a 3rd party manufacturer provided that it has a reputation for quality and is not just selling re-labled knock-offs.

If I were you I would try a top-rated seller on ebay for a good chance that the battery is genuine or brand new. If something goes wrong, you can ask for a refund. But this one seems just fine for me and it doesn't cost so much to take a risk. http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Origina...325604?hash=item4d5576b864:g:JL4AAOSwhQhY14qc Edit: I bought this item before a month to replace my battery after 2 years of use and its great!Works fine and it is genuine I can assure you about it.

With positive reviews, I guess you could give it a try.

That one is missing the logo from the original OEM battery, see here. Also, LG's font on the package is wrong. It changed way before 5X was released to a more rounded font, like on the link I wrote.

I think it's third party battery but it will work just fine I guess. I would prefer the original too. I will keep searching because sometime I will change mine too. If you finally find something that works fine, please let us know.

Months ago I was referred to this website. Please note I've no experience with them, but I was referred to them from this forum.

I ended up buying the Beltron OEM compatible on eBay. If you're not getting OEM (most "OEM" batteries sold online appear to be fake), at least get one with some sort of brand name with a reputation to protect.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MQZV9ZV/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apap_BmuxUqJ485hWz
In any case I'm quite happy with the Beltron. Been using it for over a month and lifespan seems just as good as the original. Not having the problem some people have with replacements where the phone won't charge over 50%.

All "OEM" batteries online are fake... even the one from rounded.com.

Did you measure it's capacity using something like AccuBattery? I bought this one and its capacity was close to 2300mah when it had to be 2700.
All in all, I'm at a total loss where to buy a battery that doesn't suck

AccuBattery detects it as 2700mah. Performance is still as good azls OEM after 1 month.
In also bought this as a backup:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MZ28CMP/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apap_KFK12zGtt9ENR
I have not tested it but I inspected the label very carefully and it looks legit.

Guaranteed its counterfeit . Suspected mine was fake and unwrapped the battery. Mine was padded with some thick paper to make it thicker. Was really 2200mah.

Google or LG need to sell replacement parts.
Thousands of phones end up in landfills because we can't replace the battery.

Did anyone find any reliable battery seller?

I bought that one and the app accubattery says that the estimated capacity is 1850mah... That's worst than my original 2 years old battery...
I don't recommend it.

I have ordered an original battery from our spare parts suppliers at work.
If I open the nexus already, because of the new 4GB Ram boards, then I exchange the ~3 years old battery with the same.

anyone can't post link with a good battery quality ? Thank's lot.
I allready buy an OEM battery on ebay, but it's bull****.
I can use my phone just 5h00 !

I bought this one and AccuBattery says it's 2700mAh, don't know if that means anything or not in terms of credibility. It looks authentic on the outside ( I noticed looked the same as the one I had when replacing it ) but I did not inspect carefully, haven't properly tested to see how long it lasts but I think it charges fully, I will test it tonight/tomorrow to tell you if it sucks or not.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/For-LG-Nex...e=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649
edit1: The battery charged to 100% , it seems to really be 2700mAh. Testing SoT now, seeing how long it lasts while playing a youtube video at 1080p with maximum brightness.

Needing a good replacement battery for RN 4x (snapdragon/mido)

I heard Nohon is good but I'd like to hear from anyone who has replaced the battery as to which one is good. The one for that model is the bn43 correct?

Have you found anything?I'm in search of a BN43 battery too and i have to say the whole subject is very confusing.For a start you can't really be sure that the so called original batteries are indeed original.There are more than enough excellent reviews about these but most people just "5star-ing" anyone that delivers the item on time and just 1 or 2 actually test the battery.
I heard Nohon is good too, but then i run into a review that says that it's almost as good as the original at start but then degrades rapidly in 2-3 months and its actually worse than the 2 years old original.
Also can anyone share with us how we can identify an original battery?I see some have the s/n in one row and others in two.Has it something to do with the identification of the originality of a battery?Can someone post a photo of his original BN43 or at least BN41 battery?Thanks!

Not sure. I did order a Nohon but haven't received it yet. I saw the good reviews of it but didn't know about the 2-3 month issue. We'll see. With accubattery app it says the capacity of my current battery is about 2800mah. With RR Pie and Franko kernel I'm getting more than enough charge for my needs. I didn't plan on replacing the battery immediately. I wanted the spare (Nohon) in case I wanted to replace it. I'll keep looking for an original if I can find a real one. I may end up getting the redmi Note 8. Not the pro since the pro is mediatek and I won't use one of those again since they don't release source code.

Just to make it clear by review i mean a buyers short comment for the battery.
2800 is too freaking low, maybe in 3-4 charges you'll get better result but i doubt it'll be more than 3300 mah.I think i'll go for an "authentic" and see what happens.Can you post a picture of your original battery since i can't be sure about my battery cause i bought the phone used.

My original battery is 2800 after 2 1/2 years of use. Haven't received my new battery yet. So yes the 2800 is low which is why I'm looking for a replacement. I haven't pulled the original battery yet.
