I just bought this thing off Ebay and didn't do my homework because some people have bought other wireless chargers that were cheap like this one. I'm going to go to Best Buy and will pick up the original one to compare to the one that is coming. The one off ebay is $39.99 while the one's on BB is $69.99. Sounds too good to be true. I already contacted the seller and told them that I WILL KNOW if it's fake. I'll post my findings here so no one gets screwed like probably I did. I'm going to return it (almost certain).
Sounds too good to be true, so.....
Keep us posted.

I saw a video on YouTube where someone waswas explaining tdifferences between a fake wireless charger and an original wireless charger. There were somesome subtle differences and you could only tell by having the original and fake one side by side. I think that someone mentioned that the fake one would only do a "wireless charging", while the original one would say "fast charging", when you would put the phone (S7 edge) on the charger. Also there are power bricks that are fake too. Honestly, I would only buy these charges from BB and maybe B&H. Not even AMZN, because there have been fake ones in there too. I'll pick up the original one probablyprobably today from BB. The one from Ebay is coming tomorrow, but I'm not holding my breath.
OK, so I just picked up the original wireless charger pad for $75 at the local BB. Now I have to wait for the one coming from eBay. I also bought a car charger that is supposed to be from Samsung too, but BB doesn't carry that one. I'm also weary about the car charger. It sucks to have to deal with this, but it is what it is.
Update: just tested the car charger bought from Ebay (hopefully original Samsung charger). My phone does say "fast charging", so I'm thinking that is a good sign.
I've just recently taken delivery of four of these (black) sold and shipped by Amazon.com LLC for $36.34 a piece.
They are quite genuine. Not sure why anyone would want to risk eBay when those are available.

Some of the stuff I buy from eBay ends up coming from Amazon. But anyways, after carefully looking at the one that came from BB and the one that came from Ebay, the Ebay one seems original, but it almost looks used (the BB one looks more glossy, if that makes sense). Also the chargers look slightly different. The Ebay one has a V in the back, while the BB one has a VI. Also, the packaging is different too, so I'll probably be returning both and buying one from AMZN like it was mentioned above. Even at AMZN you have to be careful because some sellers do slip fake chargers in there too. So bottom line, don't get this from Ebay.

Precisely why I referenced Amazon.com LLC as the seller. Maybe others have had an experience dissimilar to mine, but I've never received a fake product from them - and even if it were to happen, has anyone ever had them deny a legitimate return?
With Red Weasel Sales (TM) you take your chances. Maybe you'll win, maybe you'll get burned.
If you find out it's real, and there's more, please post up links. Nobody wants to pay full price lol.

Sounds why to good to be true and if it is I would be quite concerned about it's safety
i have bought many items from hong kong on ebay
i thought the g1 battery was 5v and not 3.7v? maybe i'm wrong
heres a feedback from someone who bought the item:
"As Described, Havent seen the benefit of the xtra capacity yet, but it works gr8"
1600mah Spare Battery for HTC G1 Google Phone NEW (#390071957890)
I would trust him since the guy has over 30,000 transactions, and has feedback of 98.7%
ok im going to bite the bullet and purchase it (30,000 transactions and 98.7% positive sounds pretty good to me!) and if it isnt 1600mah at least i have a spare battery
jadi929, I love feedback following on eBay too, you can easily uncover some rampant lies (like following the same "untested" item back through several sales).
I'm still in the market for a high capacity standard size,
I bought this one as a basic replacement: http://cgi.ebay.com/z388-Battery-Fo...ries?hash=item3a51ceee23&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14
It came this morning, but they've sent me this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/T-MOBILE-HTC-OE...ries?hash=item5ad2ee643b&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14
Whatever, it was only £2.50, and since those are cheapest prices, I've kinda of got a more expensive one.
Currently waiting on this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/HTC-G1-T-MOBILE...s?hash=item4ceabd1c59&_trksid=p3286.m63.l1177
So hope you can post something positive on that one, maybe I'll have one too.

No they are 3.7v, charging is at 5v so it's compatible with USB.
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!

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.

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

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

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

*sigh* That's just a picture. On the internet. Get back to us when you have the actual product in hand. But OK - first and foremost the price - what would make you think anyone anywhere can sell a genuine Samsung product that retails for $50 and up for $15 including shipping from China? Second, China - where counterfeiting and bootlegging run rampant. Third, the feedback ratings for these sellers, with numerous accusations of counterfeit products.
You complain about the 'crap one' you got from Verizon (why don't you take it back? It must still be under warranty) - and yet you want to take a chance on this? With your $800 phone? Sure, maybe you can get a refund from PayPal - these sellers bank on the fact that most won't bother - but good luck if that thing fries your phone.
In any event, it's your money/time/grief - fill your boots, and best of luck.
Genuine Samsung fast wireless chargers are $50 at best buy.
get genuine 50 is not bad
Keep in mind that the China eBay ones do not come with the Samsung Adaptive Charge charger and cable, just the puck.

Got my Samsung Wireless charger set up yesterday and it works amazing. I love being able to switch from a flat to a cradle setup and have not had a single issue with the charger finding the phone, even with the Spiegen Neo Hybrid case (which I love btw) on the phone. This is my first foray into wireless charging and I am already wondering why I waited so long.

I also searched eBay but the model number is HK0504 or something like that, and I think it should be something like this: DC0504B3GB
I can't buy from One Plus directly cause they don't ship to my country.
My guess is these are both knock-off's but if you want to be 100 certain buy it from OnePlus. You may get lucky with eBay, who knows.

That was an important piece of information you did not originally provide
I can tel you with certainty that the second link is without doubt a knock off. In the title it says "Genuine 5V 4A DASH" no where in the auction does it say OEM. The first link says "OEM" and it looks like it does not come with any packaging. Again, for 17 it is likely a knock off. The problem with these 2 as well as other listings say they are compatible. Tat does not mean they will fast charge your 5T. One of the ones I looked at said "Oppo" on the plug. Oppo may make Dash chargers but my 2 OEM do not say Oppo on them. I don't think there is any way to be sure that these are OEM Dash Fast-chargers unless someone purchased one and can attest to it fast charging the 5t.
Good luck and report back if you find one.

Edited my post
How about this one maybe? https://www.ebay.com/itm/Genuine-OE...hash=item3af9439859:m:mCtRbqQ2sBartypSMsqC4mw
This is the only one that says OEM.
Everything about it looks real except the model number for an OEM Dash Charger says Model: DC0504B5GB. This one shows model number of HK0504. I'm thinking this may be another knock off.
The real ones are priced at 34 US. I'd say anything much cheaper will not be an original. It may work fine but I doubt at that price it will be OEM.

Nice detail. I would be more than happy to pay the full price for the charger, it's just that there isn't a way for me to get it. Maybe I need to find shipment forwarding services. But those are very expensive, I hope someone knows where I can get these.

I noticed that the English charger has the same model number, but the European one has HK504 like you said.

Anyone has a EU charger and can confirm his model number?
I bought from this Ali Express Seller. Few people on a OnePlus Facebook page wrote he's legit and his products are originals.

It is fake as its volume is less than the OEM Charger supplied with the phone. That can never happen as the original company cannot make its charger larger than this. In other words, another company cannot make a charger of same rating in a smaller size/form factor. Support me if you think so.
OPPO uses the same charging technology. Search on ebay "oppo vooc charger" and just buy from a seller with good reviews. I've tested it and have used it myself without any issues. Hope this helps.

Haven't you seen my post? I bought this one, I was told it's an original charger.

Bought it, thanks
My original OnePlus 5T Dash charger is made by LITEON TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION with Model number: DC0504B3GB G81724003804. The QR code on the devices do not match with the version sold at AliExpress, as well as Logo of the Dash on the front side does not match. I therefore think it is a fake.
Pro-Tip: Anything VOOC supports OnePlus's DASH charging. They're more or less the same thing.
Source: Currently using 2 VOOC chargers for an OP5 and an OP5T and they charge as fast as the original.
Might be easier to get too.
