So my stock battery hasn't been giving me the battery life that it used to, so I'm looking for replacements. I went on ebay because that's where I got my batteries for my OG Evo and I came across these. Since they have been purchased so many times, I was wondering if anyone here has purchased them and could tell me what they think.
Thanks guys.

I recently bought two news batteries for my Samsung Epic thinking I lost my $50 replacement battery (link) that I bought at the Sprint Store (which I now found). I didn't want to use one of those weird, cheapo batteries from eBay. I bought some before for my Samsung Moment & i'll probably never buy them from eBay ever again (eventually the two batteries stopped charging through the phone and only with the charger they came with. My Battery Life app would also claim the two batteries to be "Failures" so, like I said, never doing that again).
So anyways I ended up doing some light research trying to find some cheap, legit, OEM batteries for my phone. I ended up finding this website. eCrater & I thought I would share it with you guys. Now it first may seem iffy when you first go to it, but I actually ordered from there about 3 or 4 weeks ago. They're based out in China and they sell OEM Galaxy S batteries for cheap! I'll take pictures in a bit so everyone can see they're OEM and compare all the stats.
If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask me.
Here are the two links to the batteries that are the cheapest/OEM. they also have other non-OEM batteries on there also. Just search for Galaxy S batteries to see what they all have, but these two links are pretty much the best OEM batteries available on their site.
Galaxy S Battery
Galaxy S Battery 2
Took about two weeks from the day until I finally received my batteries. They last just as long as the stock/replacement battery.
Enjoy!
**Pictures are up! The batteries are numbered, mostly so I can keep track of which is charged & what not. Battery #2 is the replacement that I bought at the Sprint Store. Batteries #3 & #4 are the ones I bought on eCrater. If enough people become interested, I'll test each battery further for ****s & giggles!
I've had my Galaxy S 4G for several months now, and recently the battery life has lessened during daily use.
I originally used a 1700mAh genuine Samsung battery (forgive me it may have been 1650), but switched over to some backup batteries I have that are 1500mAh.
The 1500's don't have the same life, so I'd like to buy something better.
I found a 2000mAh on eBay, but would that require a new battery door? The seller does not indicate the battery size. Is it possible to get a 2000mAh battery for my 4G S that is the same size as the original battery?
Any suggestions and response are appreciated. Thanks! - Jamie
as far as I know, there's only one fairly decent battery that will fit your phone as is. and that would be the 1800 mAh battery. there's a thread about it in the accessories section, you should look it up
Thanks for your suggestion. Doesn't seem to be the sort of question many want to answer.
They sell 1800mAh batteries on eBay for 2.99, so I think its worth a shot. I just don't want to get a battery that requires a new door, or makes my phone thicker.
Just saying, you get what you paid for. Honestly, IMO you should try to get the OEM samsung battery for the epic 4g touch, or ankler 1800mAh batteries. there was a battery thread somewhere around the vibrant accesories board which someone tested a bunch of batteries, and a lot of the cheaper off-brands had a lower mAh rating than advertised
We shall see. I actually ended up ordering a 2000mAh off eBay for 11.49. The battery was listed as a fit for my phone. I have actually had some good experience in the past buying third-party batteries, specifically for Motorola phone, but, I've also had poor experiences buying knock-off batteries for blackberries that were packaged to look like the genuine thing.
I'll post back, maybe in a week or so when the battery is delivered and I test it.
Hey guys, I'm new to this forum and I seem to face issues with the crappy stock battery, so I bought 3500maH battery and it works like a charm, however it is way to big, to bulky for my taste and as such I was planning on buying either a 1900maH Anker battery which you seem to like a lot guys, or one of these two:
- http://www.ebay.com/itm/KINPS-2450m...816538?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item1e76b86b9a
- http://www.ebay.ca/itm/MPJ-Battery-...hone_PDA_Batteries&hash=item4d11f0660f&_uhb=1
Which one do you think I should buy? I heard the Anker batteries don't overheat the device unlike the stock battery and some others, so I'm not sure whether I should go for the larger ones or the Ankers.
I have no experience with those two but I DO know Anker. They aren't Chinese, they are cheaper than those & they are realistically labeled for milli-amp/hours. (1900 MAh) ANKER....for SURE.......IMHO.
From what I've seen Anker has gone up in price. Anyone know a cheap source?
Also I think I read somewhere that Anker and ChiChiTec are the same batteries as well, just with different labelling, so I wonder if there's another same cheaper marketed battery
There are several battery threads over in "Accessories". Personally I read them all a couple of months ago then bought a gold battery from the "2450mAh gold slim" thread. Found on ebay the Japanese-manufactured that people had had better experiences with, bought it, and found (admittedly not 2450mAh) but longer battery life and far fewer brown-out random reboots. The difference was so stark, I went back a few days later and bought a second!

Yep, thanks for all your opinions guys, I will try to buy them both to compare them, if that's not possible though since my dad is the one buying them Ill try out the 2400mAh one, I just can't trust a product like Anker, I mean it it just about 25% bigger than the stock battery, it must be a trusty little battery but I'm pretty sure it won't make any miracles happen, I'm a heavy user and I make my 3500mAh battery last about 7 or 8 hours, so I think I will go for the big one. Thanks again guys for all your opinions. Really appreciated.
I bought an Anker for my mt4gs and it FAR outperformed the stock battery. I bought two and they came with a stand alone charger. So awesome were they that I bought Ankers for my Note 2. The stock Samsung battery hasn't been in the phone for 6 months. I haven't seen a downside yet after 2 years.
Hastily spouted for your befuddlement
Hello everyone,
recently I have been having charging/discharging issues with the batter and I have figure out to change the batter. I went to Amazon/Ebay looking for good batteries but ended up backing out due to the fact that all reviews bring up the legitimacy of these batteries. So here I'm trying to find a good battery replacement.
Thanks in advance.
I've heard MD / Mobile Defenders is a good supplier but I don't know where you reside in but they are for the U.S.
Thanks, I'll do some search and see if I can find a viable way to purchase from them.
i bought a replacement battery from ebay. not samsung directly but said samsung. Whether the battery is legit im not sure but i replaced my fat bulging battery and have had the one from ebay in my s6. considering it has lasted me since last summer and ive had the same if not better battery life and for the price of 10 bucks (already owned the tools) its been good. The replacement process is easy and i am a novice cell repair man. besides getting a bad battery you can always return it and get a replacement or try another vendor. Godspeed fella

Hey Isaac, would you mind sharing a link to that battery ? I tried looking for the previous vendor mentioned before, but it seems they only sale to retailers, not customers directly.

When I was looking replacement battery, I saw Mobilesentrix, you should try it.
Where in the world could we now find a reliable battery for our old but gold galaxy S5?
Are there any authentic batteries still being produced till date?
The GAD batteries from UK are now out of production too!
Do you guys suggest downgrading to the very first firmware in order to retain battery performance and eliminate lag?
Crickets....anyone???
any idea when that GADfull battery from the UK will restock? I see them as the only decent option other than the extended batteries from AliExpress..
Anyone have experience with one of these?
Wish I knew. I saw somewhere that Polarcell used to be good, but then heard that Nohon was too, and the consensus now is that Nohon lasts a year. Getting to where the phones need new batteries and all we know is that the "Samsung" batteries are either run down used ones or counterfeit.
Downside of Polarcell is that they seem to only have them in Germany, which means $$ shipping.
I need a battery for mine and am trying to look around. Someone somewhere said "go to a local repair place that has been there a while, they know the ones that actually work"
