It think its a pretty good deal.

Beware that cheap batteries from HongKong/China tend to not hold charge at what they are listed and have much less battery life.

Either if they are from US or Hong Kong, it doesn't really matter. If you purchase them from the states, where do you think they came from? For 9.98 I'm willing to give it a shot.

I bought the same deal for my Evo 2 weeks ago and don't notice a difference from these batteries and the stock one. It should be the same for the Epic too

I'm waiting to hear about this. The EVO ones have I think close to 8000 sold now, and a lot of people are claiming that they're as good as stock OEM.
With any luck, this is the same deal and if that's the case I'm grabbing one, no questions asked.

I ordered them, as soon as they get here I'll let you know.

Thank for the info. I just ordered the $9.95 package from Ebay. Free shipping too. Ya can't go wrong for that price.

just ordered it, figured 10 bucks is worth the risk. Would be a steal if they are even half as good.

First time every buying anything from eBay but even at an $11 loss, I think it's worth it.
If it arrives, I'll make sure to let everyone know how it holds up.

Bought one yesterday too!
Will report my findings!

one thing to note is that the specs say that the output for DC is only 350mA +/-50mA which means it will charge pretty darn slowly... nonetheless, can't complain for $10!

The wall charger that comes with these batteries is a trickle charger. This is similar to how your battery is charged via a usb port on your computer.

Thanks OP, just copped one for myself. Will post results when they arrive

i will probably get this deal too, but you do know that it takes 3 weeks for things to show up from hong kong right?

Ordered one Anker battery...
Thanks for the heads up! I ordered mine tonight, probably get it next week.
The seller has a 99% Positive Lifetime feedback and they have a 30 day Full refund return policy for defective items. Plus they reimburse your return shipping costs.
The only thing I didn't like was the high shipping costs... $3.00 per item plus $3.99. And the fact I got charged sales tax since I live in California. I checked the sellers web site and they are based in San Jose, California. My order total was $17.81.
As far as the Anker battery, I'll be putting it to the full test when I get it.

just ordered mines also.

hmm.. I register just to tell you guys this is better deal, only 10 bucks on ebay and free shipping. So much for my lurking on XDA... lol.

The same seller, I think is also selling 2x for 18.99?. =)

Not all that fond of eBay but...
The Anker battery is cheaper...looks to the same company too...oh well, looks like I overpaid by $8. If the Anker works out I'll order my next battery from eBay.

In the other thread (confusing having two of them about the same battery ), someone who received his Anker confirmed that it's a little bit thicker than stock, but fits just fine in the slot and back cover.
I believe the situation is similar with the Chichitech battery.

Anker Battery
I purchased two Anker batteries for my Sensation about 3 wks ago and have used both of them extensively. I immediately noticed significant improvement in battery life first day which is what I'd hoped given the increased capacity of 1900mAh. It seems that I'm getting roughly 1/3 more battery life which is slightly more than the difference in mAh which could also be a factor of better battery quality. I can get through the entire day with little difficulty. A big improvement over the stock HTC battery.

Good looks! I just bought one. I can get about 9-11 hours of constant and heavy use. Hopefully this battery bumps it up to 13-16.

Where can I get a decent galaxy s battery in the UK?

I've searched these forums but all people talk about is fakes or ones I can't get in the UK. Where can I purchase a reliable third party or official 1500mah+ in the uk?

Bumpilicious.

Amazon?

I just received my Samsung 1800 mAh battery yesterday from TalkieTech: ~35 dollars, when 15% was substracted with the code ''hfmembers''.
http://www.talkietech.com/samsung-battery-oem-15974.html

That battery is fake and the other one is in the US. Does anyone know where I can get a decent battery in the UK?

Doesn't look fake... Samsung name on it, Samsung packaging...
And the price is a bit high for a fake.
How you doin'? Greetings from my GT-I9000!

I asked if anyone knew where I could find a decent samsung battery in the UK. The first one posted is fake and the one you posted is in the US so is to expensive for me to buy and will take too long to get here.

I looked everywhere before ordering one from the States it worked out at £23 delivered and took 20 day to get here. I got the 1800mah one from the Galaxy S2 epic 4G as disscussed in the other thread

This is crazy?! How is it so hard to get a decent battery in the uk?!

I wanted a genuine Samsung battery and was willing to pay a fair price for it, its made for a phone thats only sold in the US so it stands to reason that the battery would have to be imported.
With a clean install of stock 2.3.5, with wifi and GPS on I got 2 days 17h out of my 1 year old standard battery, that was with light use but still just under 3 hours of screen time and an hour of phone calls. I hope with this new battery I can get 24 hours+ with heavy use playing GTA3 for few hours
I very much doubt the battery you have got will be 1900mah, a copy of the 1500mah at best.
I'll do a test with the battery once I have done a few charges, I'll play a film on a loop and post the results

Experienced users seem quite happy with it here and it's only £13.90 delivered:

get the Anker 1800mah
Hey there,
I was having crazy battery life with my old battery, which on darky's ROM lasted about 10-12 hours and then on MIUI not more than 6-8 hours. I bought another one and it was definitely a fake by the looks of things, but the batterylife did not change that much. i bought the 1800mah ANKER from Amazon and it lasts about 18 hours easy. I bought mine in the US, but i have seen them on Amazon. Hope it helps.

Thanks. I've already ordered mine but if it's no good I'll get the one you recommended. I can't see any in the UK on amazon or ebay though?

When it arrives let us know how it performs.

I've buyed the Galaxy S Plus original baterry in hope that it will last longer...posting after getting it

I found one for £9 on Amazon.
It claims to be 3500 and it certainly doubles my battery life. Adds a bit of heft, but the cover doesn't obscure the camera.
Battery screenshots etc on my blog.

The one I bought seems to work pretty well.

i bought one from akku king a 1800 mAh it runs pretty good, and then a charger for only the akku from dealextreme

I buyed one the last week on dealextreme, search for genuine i9000 battery. I'm waiting for it, because the shipping is a bit slowly but free

3800 mAh battery for 20 bucks?

This doesn't seem like a run of the mill chinese cheap battery. Packaging looks very professional and the company itself has amazing ratings. I would say this is a pretty safe buy. Its a company that designs the batteries in canada.
And with amazon you're well proctected. Ebay tends to always back the buyer up as well, but I always felt amazon was more legit. I have no need to ugly up my phone with a massive battery, nor do I need the extended time (stock battery suits me fine) but for someone that can't shell out a lot of money this seems like a solid deal

Yes and no. I bought a Mugen from amazon, and everything went fine. It died after about 3.5 months, and Mugen wouldn't replace it because I didn't buy direct from them.
So, most reputable companies who sell direct on amazon are OK. Mugen doesn't sell direct, so avoid them on amazon.
I'd like to see how badly this battery bulges out the phone. I've seen pictures of the galaxy note with this battery, and it looks... big.

I'm willing to test it out. I placed the order and I'll report back once I get it.

That's probably the exception. I've never had a bad experience when returning an item through Amazon.

The reviews for the Galaxy S2 battery are pretty good.
And there's tons of S2 users out there. So I highly doubt this company makes crap batteries

Hmm... I don't see any reviews for the product. I'd buy it but the price worries me for how cheap it is. I mean... I like cheap, but... there are no reviews to be found which worries me.

Here is my thing about batteries. Last summer when I was on the hunt for an amazing lipo battery that would make my rc car run the fastest,coolest, longest right. Well them batteries were about 60 bucks, but what I had found through my research was there were only about 4 companies world wide who produce lipo-cells, so why waste 60 bucks when I could get a 2-cell for 12 bucks. Well it only lasted the summer because I wasn't very responable with it but its perfomance was on par with the more expensive batteries and so was temp ect. It don't have to cost the most the be effective, sometimes I feel this blacknightavalon works for mugen, because I promise you people 100 for a phone battery, they seen you coming

And yeah, I've no doubt Mugen makes good batteries. But the fact that you *must* buy from them and nowhere else in order to get any sort of service makes them a bit shady.

I would never move to f**king China. Not unless they got rid of their Maoist regime. No, I just know a good battery when I'm using one, and I think the Ankers are pretty good too (as long as you order the two-pack with the wall charger).

The battery cover in the Amazon picture is clearly not for a MT4GS, but maybe it's just the stock photo they use for all this company's batteries.
Anyhow, for $20, I took a chance.

The company as a whole seems to make quality batteries, so I doubt they would skimp on our phone. And it is an actual company, not a "no name generic" battery. And as I said before, if you look up batteries for other phones from the same company, they generally have great reviews
Good point on the picture. That battery cover does not seem to fit our phone, which means the picture is a stock picture.

im confused, i googled mugen battery and 2 different links come up. not sure which is the official link.

Personally, I'd go for a slim extended battery if they offered it, otherwise it won't work with the dock. Still, if this works well, for 20 bucks it's a no-brainer.

I've been looking for a cheap extended battery since I ditched the G2. I had a $15 3500mAh eBay battery on it and it worked just fine. I'll probably order this after I hear what y'all have to say about it.

[Q] Where do you by your batteries?

So I've seen many threads concerning ebay+batteries = fake. I'd like to ask you guys where you get the not-so-fake batteries from (online). I've seen a couple of places that sell the (supposedly) original ones (A-Grade?) along with another listing for the fake ones which they call 'wholesale' or R-Grade (not sure what the R is for).
I want to know if there are any trusted sources to get an original battery. Tried calling the dealers in my country and they said that they don't issue phone 'parts' unless it's given for repairs.
so yeah,. where do you guys get your batteries from?

If you want to guarantee your battery is OEM than you need to buy it from either your local carrier store, Samsung, or a big box retailer like Best Buy. However, if you do not mind the extra bulk I cannot make a higher recommendation for a Zerolemon Battery/Case. I would link it, but I am a newer user and cannot post links. It is easy to find on Amazon and the price is great at $41.99.

I buy direct from Amazon. In my case amazon.ca.

I work at a busy cell/computer repair shop so we wind up ordering 10+ batteries out per device at a time since you never know when a dozen iphones may come in. We pull our parts from Mengtor and Global Direct Parts.
As far as personal opinion goes, Mengtor parts are generally junk for new(ish) phones. Until it's been out for a year, at least, we pass on any mengtor orders even if we save a decent amount simply because returns are highly frowned upon by us and customers (obviously, who wants to bring their phone back again?). However, After a year, or even two of parts being revised and worked on we migrate over from GDP to Mengtor since the warranty process for faulty parts we order goes through faster and they've worked out the kinks in their junk by then.
Global Direct Parts on the other hand, have never let me down. Sure we've ordered junk parts that are dead on arrival but for the most part they are our main supplier for all, excluding iphone 4/4s and prior iphones (due to well, being over a year old and the previous issues are taken care of).
The cost on GDP right now for you would be 22.89 for a battery on an S4 for Verizon (Here to link)
Our cost is about 15-18$ depending on if they are pushing stock for new orders to their warehouse or willing to hold onto it. Warranty process has always been excellent as well for when we get a bunk battery, or other part. Also, they generally offer OEM and aftermarket parts depending on which you want. The link goes to an OEM variant. Hope this helps!

OEM from Amazon I believe is good.
can't go wrong with OEM

Either amazon or preferably the Samsung store.

I bought ones of these, $8.75 & free 2 day shipping with Amazon Prime.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LX02I92/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I've always had good experiences with Anker. They're also available on Amazon, and unlike several of the knockoffs, they guarantee NFC compatibility if they list it.

If u can find a way of shipping items from china's tmall to ur place, they do hv authentic batteries from samsung's factories in china, with the retail packaging and all. It is a cheap option if u can find a way to save on shipping.
If not, I would just get anker batteries as they are reliable.

U could find any online seller that has the real deal for a cheaper price if u know how to spot fakes. Otherwise, if u really have to get the samsung one, u gotta pay more to buy it off the official retail stores.

As much as I hate paying Samsung for their horribly overpriced accessories, batteries included, I did end up buying my spare battery from Samsung, but I waited until they had a 50% off accessories sale. I wasn't in a rush, so I just waited until a sale came up. Call it a compromise.

I buy an original samsung battery from aliexpress.com
