Just purchased dock + 3 batteries for $20

Just found and purchased this off eBay, $20 shipped from the USA so should arrive soon. I'll post a follow up review once I receive the item and have time to test it. Just thought I'd share.

If the battery capacity is as listed this would be a really good deal.

Wow, great find! Hopefully these are okay batteries.

Yeah as long as the batteries are halfway decent, I'll be very happy

Hmm... not really a dock, though. It's just a battery charger, right?

Alternate:
Get 3 1650 MAH and a leather case! LOL
http://cgi.ebay.com/3X-1650MAH-BATT...US_Batteries&hash=item2a11a79206#ht_594wt_991

i also bought 1600 mah battery's.. just 2 voor 11 dollars, and a cradle for 10 dollars.. also on eBay

i also bought new battery's on eBay, just 2 1600mah for 11dollars, and also a cradle for 10 dollars

I decided to as cheap as possible, and I ended up with 3 1600mah batteries and a charger for just shy of $12!

Even if they don't work to the full capacity..It's always great to have extra's on deck while your out on the town.

You can buy a 1800 mah for the same price. Who knows how good either batteries are, but I ordered one and will test.

Thanks for informing me about this. Just bought it, even if they dont hold the advertised amount (I can see them being 600Mh each and when I complain they say it was added together), it will still be nice to have a spare for when I run dry if I need a ride or something

I have been using this item http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...200912&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT#ht_4658wt_902 for about a week and it works pretty well. The backup battery lasts just as long as the OEM battery did IMO

In the pic you can see on the battery it say 1800... My only question is, do you think these will fit? or require a new back door (which I dont know how they'd do with the unibody design)

How is this dock? Is it easy to place the phone on the USB connector. I've been considering one of these because of the ability to charge an extra battery at the sane time. Would love to hear your feedback!

Dock works well. It's easy to place phone on and take it off of the dock. There is also a power cord and separate USB connection so you can have the dock connected to a cpu and wall outlet at the same time. The backup batteries perform just as well as the OEM battery.

Can you please report on how good the battery is? I'm tempted to buying the 1800 mAh battery on ebay. Thanks.

which battery?

There are now like 5 extended batteries for the sensation.... which is most reliable. There are 2-3 1900mAh, one 1800 and one 2400mAh.... What is best and actually gives the biggest bump?

Anker 1900, for $10 wins have gotten excellent reviews on that thread
I would say the Chitech is also good but those are $20 and prob have the same performance as the Anker

Go with the Anker it has the most positive reviews I have one and I love it

I ordered the Chitech mainly for reputation and it has gotten good reviews as well. I don't mind paying an extra $8 (got 20% off with the OFF10 code) for reliability.

I ordered the Anker. Heard better reviews on it. So i went with my first instinct.

I like that Chitec is a little thicker than the OEM battery. This means the back cover will squeak less (I have stuck a piece of paper in there now ).
Is this also the case with Anker?

The Anker is the same way. It weighs 34.4 grams instead of the stock battery's 31.54 grams

First day using the Anker. Loving it so far!

I ordered the Anker as well after reading all the great reviews. I should be getting it tomorrow or Thursday!

Got Chitech and it works great.

try the yoobao 1700mAh!
36 hours of power with moderate usage!
4 hours of wifi
calls,3g and DATA on....
very glad to buy this model!!!!!!!

Got a chichitec and its awesome. Also picked up an anker. Just started using it this morning. I bet it will be the same deal as the chichi. Feels like the same battery with a different label wrapped around it.

Thanks for the heads up dude, I'm definitely going for a Chitech one. It looks cool to me.

Chichitec rocks socks.
I completely discharged , then charged in the wall charger 3x. Then I kept it in the phone the next cycle, overnight, and the thing took off ever since.
I've been getting a full days use with, normal for me use, where im usually dying by 5 or 6 pm I'm now left with battery to spare when I go to bed between 10-12.
I unplug in the morning around 7 am.
Couldn't be happier, and for a normal day I wont need a spare. :-D

china's finest
i fly through batteries. i bought 2 back up batteries that came with a battery charger and ive never been happier. it came from china so it took like 2 weeks to ship but it was only $9.99 with free shipping. i just swap out batteries now and havent gone a day needing a charger since i got them.

Omg thank you for this. I've been looking for this forever!
Eating Kitty's in my Skyrocket fueled by CM9

i actually bought the powerskin and it comes in handy but a few flaws with it is with it on and using the phone to talk people have a hard time hearing you cause of the case around the microphone. and if u work in a warehouse at all it cuts down reception to all hell but from a full charge of the powerskin it boosts my battery back up to 40-45% while im still using the phone as a media player hope it helps

Powerskin sucks. it doesn't allow the phone to sleep, they break all the time, phone is always hot. Don't get the powerskin

Awe okay

I agree with the others here. PowerSkin sucks, mine worked for 30 days. And they would not replace it. buy a spare battery.

Anker battery vs Polarcell battery(both 1800mah)

Fun thread. Which battery is better? I got the Anker batter but now i feel a little regretful as i think the Polarcell might be better..... The Anker seems good but i was expecting more and it charge slow too compared to my original samsung battery(thats 1 year 6 months old now).

My Polarcell battery life is very good. My record is over 7 hours of screen time.
I tried the stock battery with the same rom/kernel and it can't even get close to 7 hours. 4:30 hours at best.

Why can i find the polarcell battery. Whai is your ROM, your kernel to have a very good autonomie
Sent from my YP-G1 using xda app-developers app

I ordered 2 polar cells off ebay. They come with an external charger.
My i9000 deserves a gift for still going strong after more than 2 years of ownership.
I keep getting tempted by new phones, but theres really no point (unless you want to play games....)

Could you post a few battery stats like Vertron? I already have my polarcell, but I didn' try it yet...I wonder about the anker stats!

Spare batteries

So im looking for a spare battery to use, what would you guys recommend? I read some good reviews about the anker battery but i dont like how its bigger and it makes the back bulge. Ive seen some ebay OEM batteries for a good price and also found these for extremely cheap http://www.ebay.com/itm/3-x-3000mAh..._Cell_Phone_PDA_Batteries&hash=item51aae2b2ed
Now i know these probably wont last as long as the oem battery but my question is is there any downside or long term damage that can occur to the phone itself by using these sub par batteries?

I'm also in the market for spare batteries + wall charger.. I had 3 for my old HTC Incredible, and it was an absolute luxury. However, I had to try 2 or 3 different companies before I found some that didn't lose their capacity

ebay r all crap, even the "OEM" one. just register ur phone and get 50% off any oem accesory.

i've used the anker batteries and it fits just fine. there's no bulge in the back.

Heck for $13 I might just try it. 3,000mAh that would fit in the OEM back would be awesome!

3X Battery for Samsung Galaxy SIV S4 GT-i9500 with External Charger 3250 mAh
99% of the batteries on ebay seem to come from China/Hong Kong and these come from nanuet ny.
I don't know why I mention this but it did play a part in my deciding on these
If they suck, I'll have wasted $11 and I'll go ahead and order the onite or anker batteries
I'll let everyone know after I receive them

I bought the ones off of OP's link to Ebay as well. I'll post with impressions once I get them in. 3 batteries and a wall charger for $12 is nearly too good to be true... but I'm only out $12. We'll see.

It's exactly the same as the factory 2600mah battery,..I've done a comparison test and posted some screen shots of my results, I think I titled it Onite Battery Review ,.. so yes it's exactly the same size as the factory battery , they also make extended batteries,.I'll be testing a 5200mah soon, and there making an even bigger one than that soon ,.it's definitely a good battery

Not at all,..if they sucked I would say so as a beta tester that's what your suppose to do if, they send you a product test and you just lie about it, what's the point really? ..I don't take sides and I'm not getting paid to post positive reviews ,I got a battery, tested it, posted the screen shots,..I am in NO way endorsed by them lol.. just read other reviews or ask someone who has the same battery how they like it,.. Anker and all those other companies make good batteries also,...certainly a LOT better the trash you're gonna find on eBay,(which I have 4 from past phones , 2 which don't even work, the other 2 are 4500mah extended batteries that barely last 5 hours)
