Those are supposed to be real OEM batteries I think.
The OP means the dirt cheap Hong Kong batteries on eBay, they often come with a charger, 2 batteries, for like 9-12 shipped.
I ordered a pair of 1500 mah and a pair of 1800 mah batteries for my evo from eBay. The 1800 cost a little more.
I go through battery life like crazy. I pretty much always keep one in my pocket, and depending how much time I spent near a charger, would end up using the backup 3-4 times a week. After I got the 1800's I threw the 1500s in a box, and put my HTC battery away too, that way its in great shape when I sell the Evo.
Never had any trouble. I would guess that the mah ratings are inflated, and the 1800s got more like the stock HTC 1500mah life, and the 1500 ebay batteries weren't quite as good as the HTC battery. But never had any issues. If I can get away with keeping the G2x, a pair of spares off ebay with a charger will be the first thing I buy. I bought the same 1500mah pair and charger for my father in law, and he hasn't had any problems either.
The chargers, BTW, have been garbage. You have to seat the battery a couple of times to get it to charge, and the fold out plug doesn't hold up very well. But they don't seem to have a negative effect on the batteries.

I got a charger and 2 batteries off of ebay for like $12, works great!

+1 on the charger + two batteries from ebay. Work just fine. Used the same type for my G2, too.

I also have a set of 3 knockoff batteries and the extra charger. They hold a fair charge, less than stock, but for $12 I will happily carry a couple. Worth getting also is a solar charger, just in case, for similar $$.

Great cheap little car charger

For those of you that dont know about the site Dealextreme, its chock full of cheap Chinese made gadgets and gizmos, and lots of knockoff name brand stuff. I just received one of the best car chargers ive ever had for my phone from the site, and the best part is it was only $2.80 shipped. The cord retracts into the body to keep clutter down that you get with the $30 charger from Best Buy.

I ordered two, one for my girlfriends HTC, and unsurprisingly one of them came with a damaged cable (insulation was peeled off). Though after sending them a picture, theyre sending me a new one at no cost. I ordered a similar one for my Nokia E72 a few months ago which worked well. As well as a retractable 4 in 1 AC charger (Nokia, mini and micro USB, and iPhone all spliced into one cable) to keep at the shop for about $4. Its all cheap Chinese made crap, but still a great value.
I dont work for the site, just sharing what i though was a great find.

that website is ok, but the quality of their item is relatively poor. There are only a few items that have decent quality.

Yes if one out of two was falling apart when you got it that doesn't speak well for it lasting very long.

$2.80 dude

I use this one for all my MicroUSB needs. For under $5 shipped, it's amazing, looks nice (the circle is glass that lights up blue), and "name brand" I suggest this one over a $3 cheaply made one.

I just use one of these:

nice and compact and i can charge any USB device from it, put's out enough amps to even charge my wifes ipad....

a good replacement battery?

I was hoping to get some feedback from people who have purchased a replacement battery for the i9020. I see several on eBay and Amazon, but it's not clear which are decent and which are knockoffs which won't provide a good charge. If you have purchased one that you've found performs well, I'd appreciate knowing which it is!

I got mine from cellularfactory.com. I believe that was the name. 12 bucks or so, but it seems like the battery itself is brand new. I bought a few from eBay for 5 bucks and they couldn't even hold a charge properly.

Looking for a good charger for the car and wall.

I used to have one that was both at the same time, kind of like this one. www.accessorypost.com/zipkordcombo.html
It had replaceable tips for different devices but I only had one so I spliced a different tip together from a different charger.
What's the best charger like that available? I don't care about the price, I just want to know which is the best one.

Is that really worth the money?

No idea but I had one like it before that my brother broke, so he owes me one whether or not it is.

micro usb chargers are pretty much standardized, there's no real "best" charger. Generic wall charger charges my phone at the same rate of the official wall charger included with the phone.
I keep a generic car charger I bought on eBay for a dollar, and keep an official HTC charger at home, and another generic wall charger I bought for a dollar at work. Not to mention plethora of microusb cable at home, work, school, friend's house, laptop, etc., spending that much money on one product seems silly to me.

I am happy with the OEM Sprint car charger:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004GPQTJQ
It is better built than the OEM HTC car charger and has a secondary USB charging plug.

That solves nothing. I want one that can be used in both the car and house like I had before. Does anyone know of one that does that, other than the one I linked to?

Look on amazon dude, there are quite a few. And don't be rude to people who are trying to help you.

I think that's what u looking for

I was not being rude. Just because someone points out that something is not helpful is not being rude. Plus, I have looked at amazon. What I'm asking for is opinions on which one of those is of the best quality.

Thanks for finding that. It's a bit iffy given that it comes from ebay (I haven't had a lot of good come from ebay electronics purchases in the past) and because it says it's new but it has scratches and signs of use. Still, not a bad price. Do you know if that's one that'll last a while?
The one I had before was from a company called Gomadic, who sells a charger and different tips for different phones. It's a great charger and outlasted my phone, but the charger costs almost 30 bucks and each tip costs about 6 dollars, and then you have shipping added on to that.

I'm thinking about buy one to for my car...I'm going to see them

Onite batteries with charger

Hey guys, I have had the set of 2 batteries and wall charger from Onite now for a few weeks and I thought I would just let you know that they are working every bit as good as the Samsung battery. Even better since the Samsung one is a few months old. I know that isn't anything special but what is special is that they are only $20 for the whole set with prime shipping from Amazon. Which seems like a really good deal for such a new phone. So if you were waiting to find a good deal on good batteries this should be a no brainer. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NW8ZV60/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

They usually use cheaper cells. Not that they won't work, but you will probably get less charges out of them before they stop holding a decent amount of charge.
