Not much more to say, other than that these YESOO batteries are clear fakes. They've put 2600 mAh labels on 2050 mAh cells (as can be seen on the underlying cell itself).
I believe YESOO is re-using cells previously meant for the S3. In fact, if you Google that cell model number that I found under the sticker (SW-495060AR), you'll find a link back to a thread here on XDA where that same cell was used about a year ago in Hyperion S3 batteries: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29855218&postcount=116
(I would emphasize that in that case, the S3 Hyperion cell was being sold as a 2100mAh cell, so it was entirely appropriate)

Where did you find these batteries? If it was amazon did you alert them to the fraud?

I got mine on eBay. The seller is clearly trying to jazz these up as if they're something on par with Anker, ZeroLemon, etc. They call themselves a "YESOO AUTHORIZED DEALER". I've alerted ebay, disputed the sale, left negative feedback, all that good stuff.
The posting of this "shame thread" on XDA is perhaps a better way to prevent people from getting taken in the future though. That negative feedback will be buried in a few days, but at least now if someone googles "YESOO S4 battery" before they click "buy" on eBay, they'll be alerted to the scam.
Thanks for the heads up! Am looking for a replacement battery myself and I will definitely avoid Yesoo.
Lmfao thats some real detective work. Those greedy probably had a bunch of batteries lying around and just wrapped a new label on them. They couldn't even black out the orginal label. Even though im not looking for batteries, you definitely get a thanks from me.

I know this is an old thread but I thought I'd reply in this one rather than clog the place up
Anyway just to let people know, I have recently purchased one of these yesoo batteries for a very reasonable price and it is currently performing a lot better than my original one ever did. Granted my original was one of the bad batch and after about 8 months began to swel and dramatically lose charge. Anyway just thought I'd let you know I've had 24 hours of use. About 9 of which were standyby and the rest had 48-55% screen on time.
P.s. I still have 26% charge left 25 after posting this lol.
Number 1 rule when buying from China is always expect less lol.

Yeah, you can usually find these things on eBay for pennies. Maybe in a week or two...
I have one of these that I occasionally use for my G1. It isnt amazing and charges very slowly, but with a high quality battery it should help a little on the go!

Ok I'm in as well
i found this one
ebay Item number: 120640014972 (new users aka me cannot post external links )
which is a battery powered portable charger rated at 5000maH and charges the battery in the phone.
that battery cover worries me so i dont want to have to open it too often. also it means you dont have to wait for the device to reboot. not sure how accurate that 5000mah is, but i should be able to fit that and my phone in my pocket for a couple of hours to charge.
not ideal, but i dont trust non-brand batteries, especially if im importing them from china since i have no legal comeback if it explodes in my phone because they are not a UK company.
This is the link -
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI....e-All-Categories&_fvi=1&_rdc=1#ht_2465wt_1139
It does look really good actually. I like that you can charge two devices at one too. Anyone have any experience of these? I think I'll order one...
Mobilefun do one for around £20 that docks the phone and has a slot for a spare battery to charge aswell. Not in stock last I looked, but ill be buying one of those.

I am posting this for my good friend ecooce. His words below.
"So some of you may know I now have an Epic Touch, and I just want to say I will be creating for both soon if all goes well.
I just wanted to show off the new Mugen 1950mah battery (which also fits the original Epic, actually a pertect fit). This thing is everything it says it is and better if you ask me. The numbers dont lie, I use my phone all day. I work 3rd shift which is the absolute worst on ones personal life, I may sleep 3 hours at a time just to try and do things on a normal time, its hard to explain. Anyways, I used the phone all day and taxed it several times with games, a movie, and some youtube. Screen was at about 40% brightness, auto rotate, no auto brightness. The ROM is old and built on Caulkins 1.5. I plan on doing all updates to 2.3.6 and may release soon.

And a side note to the OG Epic owners, I really miss interacting with everyone, we had some fun times, and I dont think any other phone forum will be the same for me ever. We had some real high moments,and people, even SINN I miss, I have to say. Other phones may get leaks, and have inside info, but no one did it like we did. I just wanted to say I miss you guys "
Nice, but $44??
I can get 2 1800mah oem batteries at that price.
Where can I find an 1800 ?

I also question the capacity. These 3rd party battery vendors are known to fudge their numbers. While Mugen may be more honest than others, I don't think it's worth $44 to try it out. If the battery was really 1950 mAH, why aren't phone manufacturers using these instead of the smaller capacity ones?
You are aware that the 1500mah and the 1800mah batteries are the exact same size right? So the same could be said, why didnt the og epic come with an 1800mah battery?
Mugen has always equalled overpriced crap that's just as good as generic but more expensive then OEM lol
I have one also and I can say it is well wort it, and more so for an og epic owner, thats where this battery really shines.

This is Ksmullins, posting this for a team member. Just an update on what the battery can do with an Epic Touch.

They most certainly are not, the 1800Mah batteries are just a lil bit thicker. Fortunately for us, there is just enough clearance to put the battery cover back on. It's a tight fit, but it works.

I got a 3500 mah, for $17 shipped. arrived in two days.
the battery and back case is hard to tell hoe thick from the pictures, I'm guessing its 1/4" thicker than stock. no additional protection to the camera lens over stock, other than the shelf the extended case provides. it feels heavier, bit easier to hold than with the tiny stock battery case.
the mt4gs is nearing end of life for development, so ill use it until its damaged, then upgrade .
charged well, and then started it up yesterday morning around 6am. I'm now at 29%, with almost 31hours of use. yes, the graph is wrong, as I plugged it in to transfer 15-20 pictures to the Mac for however long that takes. that USB port is 1.1, so if you really want to figure how much juice it received, figure about 3 minutes plugged in....
the majority of time the phone had wifi and 3g/edge on, with poor reception.
this is virtuous v 1.3 and Gmail, contacts, calendar and g+ photos syncing running at 1.3ghz, "on demand" throttling.
again, currently I'm at 29% after 31hours.
A link of the battery, Back cover if any and a picture of the battery itself is a must if you want to share the info here with us.
Posting a screenshot of your phone's battery graph only and not even having the right values you stated won't be of any use for us.
So please if you want to share something please make it as detailed as possible in a way we could appreciate it

can't make the screenshot right, but my information corrected it. updated first post with screenshots and direct amazon link.
OK, I'm at 3%, after 35 hours , with no attempts at conserving at all. I've shot video, surfed, txt, all normal operations. with some simple conservation, I could squeeze 2 days easily. 3 would mean using airplane mode, or edge. this will be great for motocamping.
I would never be able to have a battery that thick for my phone, but cheers for the battery life

It's missing the water sensor but it looks real to me.
Most likely they aren't. Without touching them it's hard to tell (the fake ones have a plastic frame around the battery, easy to feel). In any case, don't let the Samsung stickers fool you - these aren't worth the paper they're printed on.

What makes you say this?
After dealing with this before I did a little research and found out how to tell. The label on a fake battery would be shiny on the inside if you peel it off. A real battery the label is the same dull silver color all the way through. A real samsung battery should also have where it was made written on the cell after you pull the label off. And last..usually a fake battery will be a different mah than what it says on the label. Input*#*#4636#*#* into the dialer click on battery info to check that out.

I went to Battery Info running CM10.1 and there is no state which tells us the mah of the battery, just the voltage. Also, stock battery if that makes any difference.
What was your voltage?
Edit..that was a brainfart! For some reason thought it did read as mah. My bad!

Experience buying batteries for both Skyrocket and i777.
I've actually disassembled the original and non-original batteries to know the difference.
And everything that isn't the original battery isn't produced by Samsung, and mostly isn't worth the price.
Pretty sure it's fake... kinda going through my own thing here with batteries too, they appear to be the reason my JellyBean update is failing with the Battery Disconnect message and I have to go back to ICS to get it to work again. Mine looks very similar to yours... I do not have the original to compare to, other than pictures of the official spare on Samsung's website http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/EB-L1D7IBABSTD
Thinking it has something to do with the circuitry in the battery, possibly with the NFC stuff...
Pics of my batteries attached...
I don't know for sure if it's fake or not. I know for certain it's not the Skyrocket battery as that one has a specific model # which is EB-L1D7IBA.
Read the model #. It says the model is EB585157VK. According to this it's a Galaxy Beam battery but this says it's for the S2, S2 LTE, S2 T-Mobile, Skyrocket.. go figure..
What could be an indication of it being counterfeit is that there's no info at all about this model # on Samsung's site.
Some facts:
Skyrocket battery model #: EB-L1D7IBA. Replacement model #: EB585157VK.
Original serial #:NA1C1296S/4-B. Replacement serial: AAaD702AS/5-B.
Original Wh: 6.85. Replacement Wh: 6.48.
This replacement battery is noticeably thinner when you hold it in your hand.
I have two batteries like this from ebay and they went for $8 so i'm happy eitherway
Hi guys anyone know how to check if a new battery is fake? Blister vs Fake Blister battery? Comparative between ORIGINAL vs FAKE Battery?

Jeje, is because this battery is stored to many stuff. I don´t have my dead S4, only the battery, so it´s abandoned...
From what I can gather there are NO genuine Samsung logo batteries available, they are ALL fakes. The counterfieters read webpages like this to ensure their fake is mistaken for original because that's where the market is.

Well look at the attached screenshots in this post.
Her OEM Samsung battery for S5 is dated 2019.03.28. That's not too old & perfectly usable.
I also have a third-party S5 battery but they are not as durable as the OEM & their max capacity declines faster after a few months of daily usage AFAIK.

I once had an Anker battery for S3 it's been 2yrs and it still runs like it did when I got it it has about average 5hrs SOT light usage
You have to look at the company
If they cell premium grade a cells than your good to go
In fact I bought my battery for 20$ offering 500 cycles
And 12month warranty if the product hasn't reached your satisfaction
And btw that battery i bought for my s5 was manufactured in 2020 in January
It has the same rectangle protruding like the stock one
Here is my 3rd party battery 20$ from a good company with warranty incase the product didn't work how it was advertised
