i bought my g2x on ebay and i want to buy an additional battery as backup, where would i go about finding one, i dont want to buy the non-OEMs, any ideas?
Here ya go ashman. T-mobile sells the g2x oem battery on their website.
http://find.t-mobile.com/controller?N=0&Ntk=primary&Ntx=mode+matchpartialmax&Ntt=g2x battery
Try asking nicely at a T-Mobile store. There have been so many G2Xes returned that they have tons of batteries lying around.
I got mine (2ea) from expansys-usa.
I use amazon for most things...always great prices...
There's also a coupon going on right now with t-mobile:

Anyone have a good experience from a specific ebay seller for batteries? I've been wanting to get a spare but I'm so wary of ending up with a fake and/or defective battery that will damage my phone. That said, I really don't want to dish out $100 for one from my carrier either. Even if someone knows where I can pick up an OEM battery for a decent price (ie not $100) it would be greatly appreciated. I'm with Telus, so don't know if there are any good places for OEM's in Canada. Thanks in advance!
PS: not looking for an extended life battery, just a regular one.
Vzw website, 39.99 gets u a battery plus charger and a splitter to charge both at the same time.
so fresh and so superclean.
Thanks, I hope they'll ship to Canada, if so I'm in business
edit:
No such luck, only US =(
I purchased the spare battery system from mrhitonline on eBay and it's legit. I'd link you to it, but the board does allow me to due to my non-existant post count.
Got two batteries and charger from dailypc on amazon. Not oem but damn good purchase. Best decision I made for this phone. 25 bucks too

Is the Telus Fascinate's battery the exact same as the Verizon Fascinate's? I'm not sure if that's the case since they are fairly different for phones that have the same name. Just wanted to point that out since everyone is suggesting VZW stuff.
I use EBay on occasion, however I just purchased this 3500mAH battery from Amazon...gonna try it out
http://www.amazon.com/EXTENDED-BATT..._21?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1294695593&sr=1-21
By default the phone will ***** about an unsupported battery if you try to charge it. Even most modified kernels out there don't have the code that checks to make sure your battery is Verizon approved removed, and will refuse to charge batteries not specifically made for the Fascinate.
I am using a $6 battery made for the i9000 and just got it charging tonight, but it required a modded kernel and I'm afraid it'll blow up or something. Thanks Verizon
I'm looking for a replacement OEM battery for the G2x. I've been burned in the past by fake batteries that claimed to be OEM though, so does anyone have a recommended vendor?
I was in the same dilemma about a month ago. I bought some so-called oem batteries through amazon, and although they are not bad and they do hold a charge very close to the oem; however I doubt these are genuine oem. I received a battery directly from LG through a warranty replacement and when I got it in the mail it was in an official LG package with a LG seal. The ones on Amazon that are even listed as oem just come in a paper envelope with some bubble wrap, the sticker wrapped around the battery is more than likely sideways and it drains faster than the genuine lg battery.
Your best bet is to buy one directly through lg, or be very cautious on amazon or ebay and figure out if the battery will be shipped with lg packaging. They list them as new, but if they are truly new then they would have shipped them off like lg does. On amazon you can search for oem lg g2x battery and from there you have to decipher from all the sellers which one is selling a legit battery.
Tmobile but they charge you an arm plus a leg!

When an issue people have is the quality of the OEM battery why exactly would you insist on OEM? Get a good aftermarket battery or 3 instead.

An LG thrill battery is the same as the g2x battery. Maybe those are cheaper?

I've been digging through the battery threads, and found the general consensus is the Anker or Chichitec batteries are good choices. However, I really don't need 2 batteries. I found a supposed original Samsung branded 1800mAh for $14.99 on ebay. I was leaning towards this, and then found a lot of excitement about a Polarcell battery from germany. I found it available on ebay as well. They are basically the same price but they each have similar risk. The Samsung battery could turn out to be a fake, but it is at least a stateside company to deal with. The other one is a pretty sure bet, but a few have had problems and it would be a pain to deal with a company on the other side of the world. Anyone here have first hand experience with either of these? I'd post links to them, but cannot due to thread count.
was it this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-Gal...369834?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item41668cadea
In which case I'd bet money on that being legit OEM
Not sure about that polarcell though, I haven't heard of of one of them before
No, but it's about the same price. It was from seller accessorytrend. I guess if the OEM ones are going for that cheap now, maybe i'll finally bite. I'm putting a new case on and don't want to hassle with swapping batteries all the time.
I ordered an OEM Samsung Epic 4G Touch battery from Amazon, should get here tomorrow, will post results when I get it.

I'm in Canada, with Rogers and have had a SR for about 18 months. Time for a new battery mid-contract.
But Rogers doesn't sell them any more. Nor does Best Buy, Future Shop, the Source etc. There are lots of phone vendors around, but I find that they sell them at $20 - $30, and they must be used, because even after a few cycles and battery calibration, they are usually worse than my old battery. I've bought two from Pacific Mall, they were awful.
I've been told that unless Samsung sells it to you, it's a refurbished battery. Don't even know what that might be.
So with the retailers no longer stocking batteries for non-current phones, where does one get a NEW Skyrocket battery in Canada?
Also looking for a Verizon Samsung Nexus Extended Battery (2200) as per another thread here. They are gone! Nobody has them. I'd love to try one on my Skyrocket, as it's a higher capacity and most say the fit is not an issue, but nobody seems to sell those either. Ebay sellers are out of stock with no idea if they are coming back in.
Is this what it's come to? Do you throw your phone away after 18 months???

I'm in the states but it looks like amazon.co has a bunch of market sellers who have EBL1D7IBA the main worry would be if it's really used.
I have a Nexus extended that i'd part with. Used it in my SR till it broke. Now i'm using my girls until I upgrade.. just hit me up in PM with an offer..
Have the oem battery from my SR too.. obviously used, but figured i'd throw that out there too.
Its here if you want it. Its $50 though..

Check ankerdirect on ebay or amazon
If you can have someone in the US order it for you Sprint is offering the OEM Galaxy Nexus battery (2100 mAh) with battery door for free with US $6.50 for shipping you would have a steal at your hand.
I ordered one for my SR last time they had the same offer and though the extended battery is a snug fir under the regular SR back cover it does last about 2-3 hours longer with moderate to heavy use as compared to the original.
Here is the quote;
"Sprint offers the Samsung Extended Battery Bundle for Galaxy Nexus for $49.99. Coupon code "BATTERY1" makes it free. With $6.50 for shipping, that's the lowest total price we could find by $28. It includes a 2,100mAh lithium ion extended battery and battery door."

Was just looking up batteries for the my skyrocket when I stumbled into this thread. That's an AMAZING deal. Ordered one and repped you.
Thanks!
I just ordered this online too. Does this ship to your house or do you have to pick it up at a sprint store? mine says pick up in store? I guess it doesn't really matter.
Also, Does this battery really last longer than the OEM one? i've had mine for about 18 months now and its time for a new one. Can't beat $6.50 though. Awesome find!

Yes it lasts a bit longer than stock.

Yeah I ordered one too with that link, and I'm up in Canada, used a shipping forward service
I have no intentions of getting rid of my rocket, even after purchasing a new phone. Its still perfectly viable, and once I warranty my otter box a PERFECT backup device.
Thanks for this!

While I wait for the shipment, does anyone have any pics of the phone with the batt installed?

There's no real difference. Maybe a slight bulge if you don't trim the battery.

Cbiusa, then drive to Niagara to pick it up. I live in Toronto GTA so for me its easy.
Just got the new batt, and it does fit along with a Seidio Surface case, just. Didn't have to trim anything as long as the cover was snapped into place on the left side first.

I've found lots of batteries at Pacific Mall in Markham, Ontario
Well if you are willing to wait, i bought a couple of batteries from AliExpress.com and they have been working preetty well, both of them (i ordered different to test them out) last longer than the original...
I still use from time to time the original batt, but the honest truth is that the 2 chinese are my main batteries.
I ordered a 2500 mla(?) battery from amazon.ca for mine. Works awesome. Fits in without any mods.
I haven't had much luck with after market batteries. I bought several off eBay, and have also bought off Amazon, and none of them worked as well as the original OEM. The OEM battery is hold and doesn't hold much of a charge, and I found zero improvement with the after market fake ones.
The only place I can find an OEM battery is from here for $33.10: https://www.samsungparts.com/GH43-04419C-BATTERY.html?oldpart=GH43-04419A
But Mobile Defenders sells them for much cheaper ($5.99-$8.99): https://www.mobiledefenders.com/catalogsearch/result/?cat=0&q=samsung+s6+battery
I just want to know about Mobile Defender's quality. Am I just going to get the exact same issues as all the other fake batteries? Or should I just stick with OEM? The other question I have is, is "samsungparts.com" an actual Samsung website? It's not samsung.com, and that is why I am asking. Plus, when I talk to Samsung in the chat (from samsung.com), they tell me they don't sell the S6 batteries and I have to go to an "authorized repair center." But the repair centers (Ufixit) want to charge $99 when I already have the back off and I can replace it myself.

Samsung parts is the official Samsung partner to sell phone parts and you'll get original Samsung parts but they are not Samsung directly as they don't sell directly parts to customers
I think what I may do is buy the Mophie Juice pack instead. It's at Walmart for about $20. I don't know what battery life on the S6 is like new, since I got the phone used at about 2 years old. But from what I'm reading, is that it really sucked in the first place. So a battery pack may be my best bet.
samsung s6 battery
If you want to buy original Battery then go for samsungparts. Otherwise, find more s6 battery suppliers like mobilesentrix and others, compare price and features so it will help you to buy a good quality battery.
