Battery + external charger from ebay - Desire Accessories

I just ordered the battery + external charger from ebay. They are originally for nexus one, but I think the battery is the same, isn’t it? It might take a while before I receive it, especially with the eruption.
I’ll post some picture after I received it.
Here is the link

and
http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...PageName=ADME:B:EOIBSA:DE:1123#ht_2662wt_1040

keep us posted, it'll be awesome if the desire and nexus use the same battery.
might be worth somoen investigating if its a common battery with any other htc phones

It's pretty clear the Nexus One and the Desire use the same standard battery - both have the same part number BA-S410.

I received my battery today the from same seller, i don't know if its defective, but i have charced it fully and it works ok, but when i try to take a pic with flash or use flash app it will shut the phone off.. tho i ordered another one a week ago as i thought maybe ill need few extra if im gonna heavy use my phone somewhere.. So i'll see in few weeks will that another one work or not..
Have you received yours yet? Does it work correctly?

@references
As I recall correctly, I ordered an aftermarket battery for my xperia x1 on eBay, I had the same thing happen, the phone shut down on itself when I received a call, even though the battery took a full charge. So I believe you got a real bad battery.

I wouldn't skimp when it comes to buying a battery or for that matter a charger. That charger OP reminds me so much of the cheap charger and battery I bought for my psp a few years back, the battery only lasted for 5 mins and the charger caught fire.
AAAk
I've been looking at this:

@sactoguy
Got a message from seller that it is a faulty one and he will send me another, hope new one works.. history show's that 40 of those batteries have been allready sold, so i guess they work fine as no-one else has complained about them!

awaiting for an extended one...

Any update about your Order?

Quick update from me:
Received a new battery last week and its working, last one was really defective.. I havn't measured with any machine is it really 1400mah, but i dont notice it to be any weaker than the original battery!
Nexus battery its a little thinner from the edges and it can drop off if you don't have your back cover on.

I already used that battery, and it works well..
It definitely has a lower capacity compare with the original one, but can still give one full day of normal usage.
Also, it is not too small, it is a little bit bigger than the original, so it a little bit too tight, but it fits well though...
The charger also works fine, but takes like 4 hours for full charge.

XDA Ignito 2000mAh extended battery with cover

I have just bought a new 2000mAh battery with a cover that fits the Ignito from ebay (from Gps4Less, I found out they have a website too) and so far I am very impressed. The quality of the cover is ok, much better than the ones for the Diamond arriving from China. It came from the UK so I did not have to wait long for it either. I charged the battery and after about 8 hours it is still at 96%. I have attached some pictures so you can see how it looks. There is no effect on the GPS performance, I got a GPS fix with this battery inside the house in about 30 seconds after starting Tomtom. The price was good about £16 including delivery, just do a search on ebay for 2000mAh battery for Ignito and you'll surely find it. I have been waiting for this one for a long time. I will keep you updated with the battery performance over the next few days. The only problem I have now is to find a suitable case for it, but it will probably make the phone even bigger. I guess the Invisible Shield might be a better option. So far they only have it for Diamond, not the Ignito, but I might give it a try. Now I won't fear of running out of power while listening to Internet Radio on my way to and from Uni
ugly as hell...
I will never understand why people get a SLEEK phone like the Diamond and stick in a FATASS battery and mess up the fantastic dimension of the phone...
You don't always have to use that battery, but sometimes you need more power, and that's when I'm gonna use it, I will not use it every day, and it's everyone's choice in the end, you can either carry 2-3 spare batteries in your pocket or have this when you need it. It's not too bad, but as I said, it's a question of choice. I could have got the original 1340 mAh battery, the back cover is flat and looks better but I don't think it would have been enough power for my needs.
P.S. Battery is now at 87% after 24 hours of normal use with 3G on, with the phone checking emails once per hour. Not bad...
cant find battery in ebay
hi,
can you send me the link.....can t find the battery .....
thx

j,
Hi, here's one: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&item=350144524998
or this one http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/O2-XDA-IGNITO...photoQQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1713.m153.l1262 which includes a cradle as well.
Over two days and the battery is at 72% with 3G on and standard settings, usually by now I would have had to charge my battery. The best I got from the standard battery was close to 3 days with the 3G turned off(GSM mode).
Thanks for that hind, I've bought it this morning because I need an extend battery too!
Thanks mate!
Hope you get that out of your pocket when no one's looking.
At least the official one didn't fall from the ugly tree:
http://www.expansys.com/p.aspx?i=173907
Honestly, it doesn't look that bad when you have it in your hand, and it lasts way more than the official 1350mAh battery that expansys is selling for over £50. This one was only £16. Now onto 5th day without charging, battery 49%. What more can I say?
Just ordered this battery as after 1 day out using WiFi to check mail and other websites as well as playing games on the car journey and listening to some music my standard battery died after less than 10 hours!?! This should rectify this problem....
Thanks zoltar
Quick qusetion though, does it actually fit in any Ignito/Diamond cases now? (I don't use one just curious)

It does fit XDA Ignito from O2, it won't fit the original Touch Diamond, the back fitting is different. So, order this one only if you have an Ignito, otherwise look for a Diamond back case.
My extended battery just died this afternoo after more than 6 days since being charged, and only because I used my phone to listen to internet radio for more than 2 hours (it was 29% this morning). The last mobile phone to last me that long was a Philips with a black and white screen that I had back in 2000 - about 6-7 days. And it didn't have internet, music, office mobile, touch screen or colour screen.
I believe that if the manufacturer would make the back of the case flat, getting rid of the 'hump', a lot more people would buy it as many are being put off by that (see previous posts). But the battery is brilliant. I could go on a week holiday without taking any charger with me
I just have the phone next to me when I go to bed and attach it to charger.
It lasts the whole day with HSDPA and Bluetooth on (for carkit), and even some navigation will work. For car trips I have the car charger.
I never, but then NEVER had any battery-issues in my everyday use. I have a feeling everyone is just not needing the battery.
What is wrong with charging regularly overnight?
And yes, it looks damn ugly.
Oh,come on. you're advertising your ebay shop, right?

It arrived this morning, doesn't have a "massive hump" and actually feels ok whilst in hand. (Even I was surprised) Just one quick question do you charge yours with the cradle or does your original Ignito charge it no problem?
Thanks
p.s I just got an cradle, usb charger and mains charger that fits the cradle... no instructions ?!?! ah well can't be rocket science can it

If you were referring to me , you are wrong mate! It's not my shop, I just happened to buy it and found it a good product and thought I could help by posting pictures of it and my experience. If you check my other posts on this forum, you will see I have also bought other products for my Ignito on ebay from other shops.
To ant611982:
I charge mine either using the phone (I got mine without the cradle) or a separate charger I bought on ebay that charges the phone and a spare battery, but doesn't have a cradle. It can charge both the phone and a spare battery at the same time without any problem.
Zoltar do you use a case with this extended battery on? I can't seem to find one to fit. ONLY downside.
Thanks

I'm afraid I have the same problem I was thinking of buying the invisible shield, but i couldn't find one cut specially for the Ignito.
Edit: I found the following cases that might fit. They are for the Touch Pro, but should fit a thicker Diamond as well. I still have to make up my mind which one to choose. There are others on ebay, but most of them in Hong Kong, and if you are prepared to wait about 2 weeks for delivery, fine.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Belt-Leather-...14&_trkparms=72:1301|66:2|65:12|39:1|240:1318
This one seems really good to me.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/PDair-Black-L...14&_trkparms=72:1301|66:2|65:12|39:1|240:1318
This one is from HK, but it is symilar to the original HTC case and it flexible on the sides.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/L1u-Leather-P...14&_trkparms=72:1301|66:2|65:12|39:1|240:1318
This is also from HK but it is a lot cheaper than the others. Looks ok in the pictures, not sure about quality. Not leather though.
I got my battery a few days ago and had used it since then! It's working really great, it feels that my Diamond would run more than doubled as with the stock one and GPS is also working!
Now I love my new device much more!
I would rather have this battery over the official one for the extra battery life, but wouldn't be able to live with the cover that comes with it. Anybody know if it'll fit into the offical extended battery case (http://www.expansys.com/p.aspx?i=172103)?

U$20 *delivered*: "2x1400mah battery + charger for htc google nexus one"

Ordered one from ebay 16 days ago. U$20 delivered for a charger (charges battery + USB output) and 2(!) batteries. Came in today. Seem to be legit, batteries fit fine, come in about 40% charge in em. Charging both at the moment, will post later as to the longevity etc.
Search ebay for title (the quoted part of it), $20 delivered.
No idea how this chinese quality is, but it´s cheap
[text deleted]
OK,
1st battery charged in N1, seems to be fine after 3 hrs of occasional use, still 100% charge. The other one charged in the charger that came with it, will test it tomorrow. Charger gives indication when the charge is complete. I guess we got ourselves a winner here
Good to hear. I ordered the same bundle a week or so ago and I'm waiting for it. Things from HK do seem to take a while to get to the US - guess that's the price you pay.
I got this same deal!
It's a crazy bargain! I love have (3) batteries on me when traveling. In a hotel room it's wonderful to find a spare remote outlet and charge up the depleted batteries. No down time.
I received my batteries and charger from China very quickly.
thanks i'll look into this
EDIT: Which seller did you guys buy from?
Just trying to help,
This one,
http://yit.me/46vpzp
Wow. That's quite a deal! I don't really think I need it but I'm sorely tempted to order a set anyway just in case.
This deal hooked me.
This is a NO BRAINER!
You get the 2800 mAh worth of power for 1/3 the price. Plus you get the external charger.
The only "negative" to me is that I have to shut down the phone to swap batteries... but the N1 reboots so fast... not really a negative.
The big "positive" is that I get the additional power in reserve... without getting a big ugly battery and new battery door that alters the slick look of my phone.
I don't have an scientific evidence yet.... but these new batteries seem to actually run longer than my stock battery.
I got this. Its a phenominal deal. The batteries are top notch, and I'm almost inclined to think one of them actually works better than the stock battery, but that could just be my imagination. Hard to test.
The charger is great too.
I ordered the same set on the 18th and I still dont have mine! Glad you all are happy with yours! I am going to file a dispute tomorrow, 3 weeks is too long!

2800 mAh is double the OEM battery, so of course they run longer then the stock battery

Uhhmmm....he is saying that 2 batteries at 1400 = one batter at 2800. They are talking about 2 batteries and a charger for 20$.
This is a great deal! Maybe too good to be true?? Please keep us updated on how these batteries perform throughout the year.
Any issue with charge times? It is only rated plugged in at output 4.2V 350mA, this seems a little low to me.
I do see it is rated higher for the USB output connection, is this to the battery or just to the USB port, of 5.2V 800mA?
Thanks
Don't file a dispute... that is pointless.
E-mail them and ask for it to be sent again however if they say no then you can dispute it BUT standard postage can take FOREVER.
I have ordered CDs from America (where most of you guys are) and sometimes they have come in 5 days and sometimes it has been a month.
Unfortunately your US mail is incredibly unreliable and then when you add into that the fact it is coming from Hong Kong so has to go through so many mail systems you should just relax and be patient!
I ordered the same package yesterday and also the 8-in-1 HD2 package with 3 screen protector, 3 cases, MUSB to cig lighter charger and an extra MUSB cable which I can use those 2 both with my HD2 and N1 as I already have cases for the N1 and screen protectors.
Folx,
I have used both batteries, charged via both N1 and the charger that came part of the deal. Used the charger to charge N1's original battery. No issues encountered. Having total of 3 batteries must be a godsend for frequent travelers and alike.
I never hesitate when ordering items from China/HK. Takes anywhere from 1.5 to 3 weeks, never had anything lost.

Spare batteries for the MT4GS? Anker for the win!!

I spent less than $30 over at Amazon and got two 1900mAh batteries and a charger for them. The batteries say that they are for the Sensation but work perfectly for the MT4GS. I take lots of photos with my phone(30-40 daily),, send a 150 or more messages a day, surf, compose emails and have about an hour of total talk time per day. 2 Anker batteries takes me through the day without needing an outlet.
I can fully recommend these for our phone. I am in no way affiliated with Anker and did not know the name before I purchased the product.
UPDATE: These batteries are NOT A WIN! After a month and a half of intense usage, I am finding (with two separate batteries) that these may not get enough power to our phones and results in an error for the camera flash when no real error exists (except with the manufacture of this battery perhaps).
I am checking out new batteries. Will report back asap. I am recommending folks avoid Anker for now though. I'm still investigating this situation.
FYI: The exact error is "unable to use flash due to cold weather".
UPDATE: After a few days of trying to reproduce the flash error, I've had zero problems and lots of fun with my phone so I think we can chalk it up at most to a defective battery and not a systemic issue. I've been using the battery since with no problems. Enjoy your phones!

http://www.amazon.com/Anker-1900mAh..._23?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1313683743&sr=1-23
That's the link to the one I just ordered, it shipped yesterday, should be here in another two days. I'll definitely review after I get it.
Anker batteries in the 1900 capacity have been recommended by several here so far, and I haven't heard anything negative about them except for:
One user reports that the fit is almost too snug in the battery case. Any words on this?
Other then that - they sound like a solid win, enough so that I bought one too.
I actually purchased the set that comes with two batteries as I bought my MT4GS on Craigslist and couldn't verify the integrity of the battery it came with. The batteries for the Sensation DO fit snug but it doesn't cause any problems. I spent 30 minutes looking at that aspect. Putting them in, taking them out.... The batteries last a good while (1900mAh) and the charger seems to work well after the initial charges which are a bit longer than normal (but not much longer).
One thing to look out for is that the charging prongs on the charger have a design I have not seen before. Since it is a universal charger from Anker they slide along a rail as so that they can be used to charge various HTC batteries which may have the charging port at various different points along the top of the battery. So like the G2 or the HD2 battery could be charged in the charger as well (I've done it) because you can move the charging prongs from left to right along this rail that they slide on. So you have to make sure that you have them lined up for the + and - port on the MT4GS battery so that you're getting a proper charge and not just sitting there wasting your time.
It's a small thing and not a problem. In fact, it might be a bonus for those who have other HTC devices that it can also charge.
Congrats on your purchase. I don't think you'll be disappointed.
Chinese 3 battery combo with charger
I have been buying the spare batteries from Hong Kong/China with the slow ass battery charger for my past few devices. They are 10.95 delivered. The MT4GS and the Sensation are IDENTICAL. I spent 1 dollar more for the MT4GS and everything was exactly the same and there was no reference to MT4GS on either of the packages that arrived at the same time.
I can't complain. I always have my laptop bag with all of my techno gear spare 2A DC and AC chargers.
I can't not be connected?

It's definitely a tight fit, but it's not too bad -- it's not hard to pull out when you want to change the SIM or microSD card, for instance. It is tight enough that it doesn't fall out by itself very readily, though -- a couple days ago when I was experimenting with the carrier unlock and swapping SIM cards, I forgot to put the back of the phone* back on when I was done, and I carried the phone around for several hours without having the battery fall out or come loose. I even dropped the phone about 2.5 feet from my desk surface onto the non-carpeted floor and the battery didn't pop out.
So the fit is definitely snug -- much snugger than I'm used to in a phone battery, in fact -- and you have to press down to get the top to slide into place properly, but in my opinion it's a good thing, not a bad thing.
*That is, the "battery" cover, although it covers a lot more than just the battery, unlock my G2's battery cover, which I wish they had made the mT4GS's battery cover more like, but now I'm a bit off topic...
Good to know.
Mine came in today, and i'm watching the charge light turn purplish now as it goes from red to blue, so it should be real soon that it's done charging for the first time.
I think i'm going to restore my first solid CWM backup after rooting on my old battery, then wipe the battery stats file, power down, swap batteries, and power up to run it down. Hopefully this will get me a good calibration right off the bat.
I can't wait to start using it - this holding off until it's charged all the way the first time is killing me lol.
I'll report back in a few days how it works after the first 4-5 discharge cycles the package says it'll take to get my full capacity out of it.
Do you have to use the charger that comes with the battery to charge the battery or can you charge it as normal inside the phone? I would like to get a longer lasting battery but I certainly do not want to have to remove it from my phone every time I want to charge it.
No, it charges just fine inside the phone. The external charger is just in case you need to charge it outside the phone for some reason, like if you have two batteries and you want to charge both up for a long trip or something.
Awesome! Just picked up two MT4G Slides the other day and already I can see the battery life is going to be a potential issue. Coming from a Bold 9700 I knew I was going to run through the battery much faster, but I wasn't quite expecting this fast.
Okay, after my second day with the Anker 1900 battery, I am extremely impressed.
It's like a night and day difference. Honestly, my biggest concern was the heat issue. I noticed that my stock battery got pretty warm, and while not enough to burn me, was enough to impact the lifespan of the device and battery.
I had a theory that spreading the same amount of load over a greater range of discharge would produce less heat, and that has proven out to be true. Maybe the Anker battery is just made better, but more likely my theory was correct.
The Anker battery doesn't get anywhere near as warm with general use of the device as the stock battery did. Solid win there.
The amount of time I get with the battery before having to charge is already significantly increased, and I haven't fully broken it in yet. I'm no longer having to plan out where my next charge location is going to be and trying to ration my device usage to make sure I get to it. Now I can just go about my business without worrying about running out of juice.
Bonus points because now my stock battery is available as a backup, just in case - making the win that much sweeter.
Thanks to everyone who suggested this battery, it was definitely a great buy, and the price is unbeatable.
u think I can buy sume of those battery from amazon.com? I'm Italian, but I can't find shipping restriction section...
Good find. I might pick up one of these. Would really have liked the charger to be USB powered, though (or at least have a long cord) so I could set this on my desk next to my phone.
Evo 3d Battery
Has anyone tried the Evo 3d battery? It's rated at 1730mah and reportedly works just fine in the sensation.

I don't know if you'll find much traction for this - the anker battery has a higher capacity rating and lots of endorsement from people (myself included) who think it is a superior replacement for the stock battery.
I'd be curious, just to know, but I would recommend the anker 1900 battery for the sensation above anything else.
I wonder why you would want to know this?
Contacted Laptopmate (US Distributor of Anker) via Amazon's customer service. Turns out they have an Ebay store and an Amazon store.
Ebay store is MUCH cheaper. Found batteries and a charger for $15 less.
One thing this company does on both sites is "overlist" they will have the same product for $8.99, and $9.99 for example. I found the first eBay mt4gs battery was 11% off and listed at $14.99 with charger, I kept exploring and found it later for $11.99 - same item.
You also need to watch they have some other non-Anker batteries with varying capacity sizes that might be a bit less. YMMV.
Now just sitting back and waiting for them to arrive.
Will be picking this up for me and my friend (who has the sensation). Good find!
Just ordered two today! Can't wait...as I take lots of pictures and videos so it'll be refreshing to have fully charged batteries ready to go, on the gooooooo.....
Just so people know, it is a little bit bigger. I have a problem squeezing my body glove case on (but it does go on, barely). I'm just waiting for another case with more clearance so it fits.

That bad? Jeez...
I need a case, otherwise this phone will be abused too much. It is an expensive piece of equipment.
On a side note, I've been trying my damned hardest to drain this thing for 6 hours, and I'm only at 50%. Highest brightness game playing and browsing, and 4G has been on the whole time. Plus, I took enough pictures of my gf to get her irritated.

replacement battery

can anyone recommend a uk supplier for a bp6x battery that the milestone 2 recognises? or ideally a seller on ebay as i prefer to use paypal? i tried one that said "genuine motorola battery" when it arrived i plugged it in and the dreaded "?" appeared and the phone refused to recognise it. so it was obviously a fake. almost all the listings ive seen appear to be copies. i dont mind a non original aslong as its recognised by the phone and works... the only original battery seller i can see are second hand ones and id rather have a new one if possible. thanks
im interested to same problem ... so up +1!
Rule of thumb is don't buy batteries off ebay.
I was considering purchasing second hand ones, and even considered getting a droid 2 battery second hand, so at least it might be genuine moto, but thought better of it and feel validated with my choice.
At the end of the day, the battery can potentially fry your entire phone the second you connect it. You can't seem to get them direct from moto, but I'd suggest contacting your service provider and see if they can order genuine parts.
I suggest getting a portable charger for those outings where you know you will need some more battery life. Get a car charger, and if possible, a spare charger for work. Than most of your bases are covered and safer too
I'd purchased 2 from a seller on ebay and both work fine - no ? icon whatsoever, even though they're clearly fakes (no hologram). Will give it a week and see how they're lasting, and ill pass on the seller ID. They're handy to have as they can easily fit into a wallet and do wonders if you're getting tore into the Friday night scene.
ive got two spare chargers, and a car charger DreadpirateDan but my original is getting a bit knackered. itll jump from 80% to 40% in one go. then 40% down to nothing. doesnt last anywhere near aslong as it used too. so definitely time for a replacement. i got my phone on ebay so dont have a service provider to contact.
thanks gogz, let us know how u get on. i picked up one of the genuine second hand ones on ebay and it works fine. but its actually older than the one i originally had lol.
hey gogz let us know how ur batteries goes then.

Holy moley that's crazy as, what do battery diagnostics tell you of your battery health etc? (if they even work, lol)
Also, have you tried battery calibration? That issue just sounds crazy, perhaps that might help?

Maybe you should get AnTuTu Tester off the market and run a battery test (will require your phone to be out of action for a few hours rapidly discharging though )
I scored 358 and am placed just above HTC HD2 and below LG Optimus 2X. The Galaxy S2 doesn't seem to have scored much more than me going by the bar graph - I've allways thought my battery to be shocking and potentially damaged health wise. So maybe that could give you an idicator as to how it's holding up, just for curiosity sake.
yeh tried that. the batterys just old thats all. theyre only good for a 1000 charges or something. so charging it couple times a day for over a year soon adds up. as they age the voltage becomes more erratic and it doesnt hold its charge.
I bought 2 original BP7X from ebay (and one bigger cover) and they are perfect.

BP7X is the way forward buddy. Can abuse the phone all day long and have 50% by the end with custom ROM and Juicedefender. I'm sure with light use you could get a week out of the thing.
ms2 is enough busty :F with bp7x and backcover is like to have a notebook in your pants.
i wish a batery that doesn't needs a backcover and works good without any block
This was were I got my batteries from guys. I've tested them both quite extensively over the holiday season and they have lasted well. Has proved to be a good investment actually as I sucked all the juice out of my phone taking 720 video at a gig over NYE and needed the phone to regroup after it. Hope this helps you. I also got one of those docks with the battery slot in the back to charge them up as a wee christmas present to myself too. I'm getting geeky in my auld age.
hey gogoz with that battery can u see how much % of juice remains ? and can u recharge it from your phone?
Yup. No problems on both counts there.
I have to say that I purchased one of those BP7x 1800mAh batteries and I am not impressed at all.
It barely makes 2 days without data connection always on.
Still I am using the phone underclocked at 800 mhz with screen on and everything forced at 300 when the screen is of wit setcpu.
It takes about 3 hours to burn 10% of charge
Well it only adds like 30% (or something?) extra life.. so if your normal life span used to be about 36 hours then 46 (barely 2 days) is just about right.
for replacement battery i would higly recommend "mugen" batteries. their average performance exceeds the OEMs. But if you go for the heavyweight usage, try their 3300mAh [HLI-A855XL] for milestone. not cheap though compared to ebay deals, but worth it quality wise.

Hey guys! I wanted to buy this:
http://www.ebay.es/itm/NEW-MOTOROLA...299866?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item43af074c1a
Will that battery fit the Milestone 2? Are the accessories the same for the Droid2 and the Milestone 2?
Thanks!

I have a Droid 2 BP7X and it works fine in my MS2. I'd be wary of the Chinese writing and the very cheap price on the link you provided though. And you will need a new battery cover (mine was supplied with one).

[Q] Help with my battery...

Hey guys! So I bought this battery pack off amazon: http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B005N6CFPO/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00 and I received it today. So, as my (original) phone battery died, I told myself: I should try the charger that came with it! So I put my battery in it, then after 2 hours I check if it has finished charging it. I take the battery off the charger and I smell burnt plastic. Crap. I check the battery, and it looks fine.
There's only one thing wrong... If you check your battery, there is 4 gold squares on it and in between them there are little plastic ''strips''. One of the plastic strip has melted. And every 5 minutes, the battery makes weird ''tic'' noises. I'm too scared to put it in my phone, and I'm wondering what to do. So anyone can help me? (PS: sorry english isn't my native language)
That's a lot of money for batteries... but it looks shady and sounds very bad. I wouldn't use the batteries and you should try to get a refund.
Just to tell, I'm actually using one of the battery and it's working... but my original LG battery is fried. I will try them for a day (and not use the charger they came with) and I'll contact the compagny about their charger that fried my battery.
Giving you news tommorow.
heck, i got my 3500mah extended battery and wall dock for a few $$ cheaper than that!
look at my gear guide for tested stuff. almost all a year old and still working.

Yea, I don't buy those batteries. What I did was buy two genuine (At least the Ad said so and I think they are) LG batteries for my phone so when one runs out, I always have another fully charged on near me. The Ebay ad I bought the batteries from has disappeared, but yea the batteries are working good for me. Like everyone else said, don't use those batteries. They probably could damage your phone.
