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 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.

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:

I bought what i thought was authentic GS4 batteries, and from using them for two days I've deducted that they are counterfeit. The battery marked #1 is the genuine battery that came with my GS4, the battery maked #2 is one of several batteries that I've bought on Ebay. Neither of the batteries i bought will charge fully with the genuine GS4 spare battery charging system and neither battery works with NFC as advertised. Buyers beware of any GS4 batteries claiming to be OEM, unless it says genuine OEM and its looks like one on the right in the pic, don't buy it!

Damn!!! Wish I would have known about ectoo usa about a week ago. The other seller is ynfang2012 and I'm reporting them both to ebay and contacting pay pal to inform then of their fraud.
Pretty standard fake battery. I can see a slight indentation running from the start of the "A" in Samsung down between the C and the E of CE. This is probably part of the foam-rubber frame which houses a 750mah (if you're lucky) battery. If you can peel off the label that's probably what's inside. Even knowing this I've been stung. The seller usually has the sense to give a full refund to avoid negative feedback.
Edit - actually I see the numbers are the other way round. D'oh! So much for my career as a CSI..... :silly:
i said this so many times before but people buying OEM battery under $20 are going to be in for a surprise. there's that saying: you get what you pay for.
this doesn't just apply to the S4, there are fake labeled batteries out there for just about every phone..

when it comes from ebay; and a chinese seller, you can never be sure. lots of forgery in that part of the world.
This is news why? It's been happening for years. Still have fake Galaxy S batteries. If you think a brand spanking new battery from China or some odd 3rd party seller on Amazon for $7 is real, you deserve to get taken.

i second this! we need to use our minds
Exactly. The phone is new. OEM batteries won't be dirt cheap. In time they'll get down to the $15-20 range. 3rd party extended batteries from reputable companies tend to be good value. Anker makes some nice ones, usually a few hundred mah's over stock but fit with the stock cover. Just roam around on Amazon. They'll usually come with cheap universal battery chargers. I end up using them to charge a variety of batteries.

I've known this for a long time, if they claim an oem battery costs less than half of the original, and is not sold by a reputable source, bestbuy, (amazon llc direct) samsung etc...
the battery comes from china or Hong Kong, it's more than 99% to be fake.
phones have been my hobby since the startac days, been to Hong Kong many times, some times the fakes are easy to spot, nowadays, they can copy even the holograms.
Only best way to avoid counterfeits is to suck it up and only buy from reputable sources.:good:

oh god i loved my STARTAC...
such good phones.
Wish I saw this sooner. I bought a cheap X2 OEM looking ones + wall charger for 9.99. However not from those sellers. However.... at that price if it gets me enough juice I could care less. I just need it to last me as long as my N2 with OEM Battery + the knock offs if needed.
I'm thinking about replacing the battery in my nexus 5 with a new one.
Looking on eBay, it seems like there are hundreds of sellers selling supposedly genuine LG BL-T9 batteries for around $10-15.
Does anyone have recommendations for reputable sellers who's selling the genuine batteries and not knockoffs or old stock batteries that have been sitting for a long time? It would be pretty disappointing to go through the effort of swapping batteries only to end up with a subpar battery.
thank you
This thread has everything you need...

read it and the conclusion is that you can't find original one
Well.. I'm a bit hopeless ATM.
I'm trying to buy a new replacement battery for my H850.
Thing is, internet is FULL of scam sellers and even more products.
I mean yeah, it's easy to avoid Chinese crap with 18569303mah but there are batteries claim to be the "original" with the yellow sticker and everything but they're actually just fake copies.
Is there any trusted place I can order the actual original LG replacement and not a fake made in a basement in China?
Thanks
LG still sells OEM G5 batteries on their website for 39.99 USD. First result when googling LG G5 Battery. No one seems happy about the battery life on the reviews though.
original battery is also available in Aliexpress, i found only 1 listing with OEM battery, all others are fake!
I absolutely love my G5 SE H840, but the battery is shot. I can barely get half a day out of the thing. Open a game and I can sit and watch the battery drain at 3/4% per second. No I am in the market for a bettery and am also having a hard time finding an OEM battery anywhere around here (South Africa)

Well..
I found (and purchased, waiting for delivery) this one few days ago.
It seems to be less fake than usual. Hope it won't result to another PayPal claim by me. I'm getting sick of this game.

How can one know that one battery is fake and another isn't?

Normally the fakes come in horrible printed packaging And compared to a genuine one you can tell all kinds of misprints and such defects in the manufacturing process.
Where did all the spare batteries and charging cradles that lg gave away go? lol
I got 3 batteries and a cradle for mine still
Well I've got the battery and it seem fine.
It'll be the last battery for my G5.
By the time new battery will be needed G7 will be out and well... xD
Why not buy the charging cradle that already comes with an additional battery? Most of these cradles are legit and cheap, my most recent purchase was from last year and I only payed 18$ for a charging cradle (the battery included, same capacity) through Amazon
I would never pay for it $40 for this battery, I have two batteries and both of them drain horribly bad and most likely are already dying, and since i spent an entire year daily switching each battery due to lacking a charging cable, that only means that it used each battery for the length of an half a year.
These batteries are so so so so worthless it's not worth the sacrifice spending ton on money on a single unit
Edit: checked Amazon, cradles aren't cheap anymore, i guess lg dropped support for the lg g5 so their are not restocking their older replacement parts, unless I'm wrong.
You CAN find like 9$ lg g5 batteries on Amazon, by LG LG (not considering they are not the supplier, be careful with whichever store supplier you're buying, refunds are guaranteed either one way or another so it's nothing to worry about)
But yeah enjoy ur new fresh battery, hope this info helps others
Just ordered the 2-pack of AEXPower along with the external charger off Amazon. I have a Disney trip this weekend so I'll definitely make use of testing them out. I'll update this post Sunday night or Monday.
Update on the AEXPower batteries. Are they OEM quality? Close. I can almost get a full days of use out of it...taking pictures and posting to social media and such. But, the joy of this phone is having the ability to swap out batteries quickly. Battery Stats rated the battery right at 2800mAh after a few 100% discharges so I highly doubt that it's actually the 3000mAh that they rate it at. However, it's still a good battery and would definitely recommend it since you're getting 2 batteries and an external charger for sub $30.
Is it better to get OEM battery which was manufactured in 2016 or non OEM manufactured in 2017? Also does non OEM support Quick Charge 3?
This is the only one I saw on amazon with good reviews
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0788K5Z8V/
And I ran it thru fakespot and it says over 90% of the reviews are legit
Newegg.com.
Nice price too.

Just ordered the two pack with charger..... will post sometime in May after they get down here to me in S.A.
I have been using two LG batteries with the LG charger dock but they now shut off the phone when they get down to 15% very fast.
Was just going to get a newer phone but now with 15.1 (Oreo) coming soon I think I will stick with the phone another year!
I think we will be the last with a swappable battery in our phones
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.
