a good replacement battery? - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

[Cyber Monday]$18 + Tax for 4000mAh Portable Charger

I just saw this on Google Offers and it looked like a good deal.

I saw an earlier thread for a similar charger that was pricier, so I jumped on this one. It's nice that it can charge two devices at once. This will definitely be good for me since I'm used to being able to swap batteries on the go. Hope it's good!

Thanks for posting this, I've seen it on a couple other sites this morning. In 4 1 :good:
i am going to look at this. I have a 2000mAh charger already, but it would be nice to have another one on the cheap.
I just bought this offer and when I applied it in Newegg it only removed 18 dollars from the price, it did not bring it down to 18.
NVM, I didn't do both steps. All is good.
Just bought one. I had a smaller Duracell power unit but can't find the cord to charge it. Maybe this will charge that too. Thanks!
Annndd.... They're gone.
Sold out.

[Q] NOOT 2800 mAh Battery

Hello everyone this is my review on the extra battery or replacement battery for you Samsung Galaxy S5. Thus battery is made by NOOT products and is available for 10 bucks on Amazon. Also free 2 day shipping is your a amazon prime member. Ok enough of plugging amazon on ti the real deal how did it work because we have all seen that great deal for 3 batteries and a charger for our phone for 15 bucks. The problem is they barely workif tthey work at all. Nm
Now there are they new fancy named companies witha ssimilar deal but someiof them even suck. Have no fear I already did the testing here NOOT products (Atleast there batterie, have nnot tried anything else yet) are the real deal. I have 3 Galaxy S5's in my house and we all have at least 2 back up batteries and we all use NOOT because they work as good as the OEM ones. I'm not just saying it to plug NOOT I could care less just your friendly XDA product reviewer (Just starting on here but have been for a while). I love my gadgets for my phones so I buy everything I think is cool for my phone or tablet. So I figure I can spend a few minutes and tell my XDA family member about my latest add on to my phone gadgets. I will tell it like it is good or bad. I will be posting several other on stuff I have already been using so is you been thinking about buy a glass screen protector or a wireless charging Back or card wait a day and read my next reviews.
Thanks
Any questions please ask.

For $10 you can't really go wrong with the very quick shipping from Amazon and an emergency backup battery.
I like it so far although it died on me at %30 once

I got them when they were on sale for $5 dollar with a promo code a while back. They work really well, I say about 80 to 90% of the oem time capacity, which was good for the price.
However on a hot afternoon, i left a battery inside my car ... the battery expanded (got fat) and won't fit in the phone anymore.

This. Apparently I have the most helpful favorable review on amazon for it right now, and while I liked the battery when it still worked, I need to edit my review on there as my battery has also gotten fat. It's weird though because I didn't leave it in my car or anything. Battery worked fine for about a month and a half and then all of a sudden it started dying really quick once it reach 30-40%. After several days the battery life started getting shorter and shorter until it didn't even last me 2 hours. Pulled off the back cover and I realized it was getting fatter. I also got it when it was just $5, so I shouldn't really complain, but I contacted the company twice about a replacement (since the product comes with a warranty). They haven't gotten back to me yet and it has been over a month since. Kinda frustrating that their customer service is so lame. Other than that I thought the battery was a good replacement for the price. I've since ordered backups from Caseology on amazon and they seem to work just as well as the Noot one when i first got it.

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.

Where to buy an external charger and spare batteries (UK) - advice

I've just bought a used N910F and wanted to get myself some spare batteries and an external charger. I've just moved up from a Note 3 and previously, an S3 LTE and had multiple batteries for both, with external chargers and I'd like to get the same for the Note 4.
I'm based in the UK and so I'm somewhat limited to what products I can get hold of. I'd like to get one of the Samsung external charger but I was wondering - as these are just running from the mains charger that you're using to charge the phone, is there any issue buying one of the non-Sammy, generic ones? I'd assume that the charger takes care of any overcharging issues - is that correct? If anyone has a link to any cheap genuine Samsung units, I'd be very pleased to have a look. I found one for £30 at Amazon, but it's a 1-3 month wait!
As for spare batteries, I've always gone for the Anker batteries and found them pretty good, and it's looking as though that's the only option for me at the mo - Amazon have them for £14 shipped where as the Powercell units are over £18. Any genuine ones for around £20? I'm not about to waste my money on the ebay cheapies!
Thanks for your time guys! :fingers-crossed:
Amazon buy anker,mpj,etc
I just recently purchased a standard Samsung battery from Amazon - http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00VIK5DOY
Although there are cheaper options, I made sure that I selected the one that was sold by Amazon themselves on the basis that they are very unlikely to sell fakes - the one I got for £10.63 with next day delivery on Prime certainly seems genuine to me.

Thanks for getting back to me with an actual product. How is the battery holding up? I'm really happy with the Anker one I bought - I'm getting about 1.5 days of moderate use and 5+ hours of SOT between charges. I don't use NFC at the mo so I don't know if this supports it, but as things stand I'd be happy to get another one or two. Does anyone know how to tell if theses "genuine Samsung" batteries are indeed, genuine? I remember reading up on it when I had the Note 3 and it was really tricky visually.
What about these external chargers - anyone had any experience of the non-Samsung ones?

The battery works fine for me, and is a definite improvement on the tired genuine battery it replaced.
Well, I've bought, what's labelled as a "genuine samsung extra battery kit". It's currently charging the enclosed battery in the external cradle. I'll try it in the phone to check if the NFC works to be sure that the battery is a genuine Sammy one, but any ideas on how to check the charging cradle?
Just bought a replacement battery direct from the Samsung UK site - £25 but worth it for the peace of mind. Free delivery.
EDIT: Ordered at 5:00pm, it's now the next morning and my battery has arrived - great speed for free delivery! (Now, if only Samsung could get their firmware updates out as fast!)
EDIT: Genuine Samsung packaging (with the window on the front of the box, and a plastic container for the battery) and manufacture date of last month, so fresh off the assembly line
I've just charged up the battery that came in the "kit". Appearance wise it looks identical (but dont most of them?!) but I just tried it with NFC and that worked - I thought the fakes didn't have the NFC chip - or have some of them started adding it or have I just got a genuine one for a really good price?!

Finding a replacement battery in Canada?

My old Nexus 4 works great, but the battery holds about 5 hours of charge. I've tried a few from Amazon but they were either dead-on-arrival or could hold barely more charge than my old one. A friend of mine had the same problem with Ebay, so I'm skeptical about their batteries as well.
The most recommended supplier was spareslg.com but they only ship to Europe now.
Can anyone suggest a good supplier?
I most certainly can.

I can't say that it performs just like the original: it's been far too long for me to remember, as I got this phone back in 2013. But it does perform good enough for daily use.
I tried one from Amazon as well... No dice. This one has been doing the job.
