It think its a pretty good deal.
Beware that cheap batteries from HongKong/China tend to not hold charge at what they are listed and have much less battery life.
Either if they are from US or Hong Kong, it doesn't really matter. If you purchase them from the states, where do you think they came from? For 9.98 I'm willing to give it a shot.

I bought the same deal for my Evo 2 weeks ago and don't notice a difference from these batteries and the stock one. It should be the same for the Epic too

I'm waiting to hear about this. The EVO ones have I think close to 8000 sold now, and a lot of people are claiming that they're as good as stock OEM.
With any luck, this is the same deal and if that's the case I'm grabbing one, no questions asked.

I ordered them, as soon as they get here I'll let you know.
Thank for the info. I just ordered the $9.95 package from Ebay. Free shipping too. Ya can't go wrong for that price.
just ordered it, figured 10 bucks is worth the risk. Would be a steal if they are even half as good.
First time every buying anything from eBay but even at an $11 loss, I think it's worth it.
If it arrives, I'll make sure to let everyone know how it holds up.
Bought one yesterday too!
Will report my findings!
one thing to note is that the specs say that the output for DC is only 350mA +/-50mA which means it will charge pretty darn slowly... nonetheless, can't complain for $10!

The wall charger that comes with these batteries is a trickle charger. This is similar to how your battery is charged via a usb port on your computer.
Thanks OP, just copped one for myself. Will post results when they arrive
i will probably get this deal too, but you do know that it takes 3 weeks for things to show up from hong kong right?

I bought the batteries
ill let you guys know when it arrives and it holds its charge
It's so cheap I might as well pull the trigger.
I received the 2 batteries yestetday morning,charged them up for 6 hrs,use it since yesterday afternoon,first impression is it is as good as the OEM.THe batteries that i received have the Samsung label on the battery,diffeerent than what it showed on the ebay auction.
I've searched these forums but all people talk about is fakes or ones I can't get in the UK. Where can I purchase a reliable third party or official 1500mah+ in the uk?
Bumpilicious.
Amazon?
I just received my Samsung 1800 mAh battery yesterday from TalkieTech: ~35 dollars, when 15% was substracted with the code ''hfmembers''.
http://www.talkietech.com/samsung-battery-oem-15974.html
That battery is fake and the other one is in the US. Does anyone know where I can get a decent battery in the UK?

Doesn't look fake... Samsung name on it, Samsung packaging...
And the price is a bit high for a fake.
How you doin'? Greetings from my GT-I9000!
I asked if anyone knew where I could find a decent samsung battery in the UK. The first one posted is fake and the one you posted is in the US so is to expensive for me to buy and will take too long to get here.

I looked everywhere before ordering one from the States it worked out at £23 delivered and took 20 day to get here. I got the 1800mah one from the Galaxy S2 epic 4G as disscussed in the other thread
This is crazy?! How is it so hard to get a decent battery in the uk?!
I've just ordered this (bit cheaper than £23, hopefully will be good)

I wanted a genuine Samsung battery and was willing to pay a fair price for it, its made for a phone thats only sold in the US so it stands to reason that the battery would have to be imported.
With a clean install of stock 2.3.5, with wifi and GPS on I got 2 days 17h out of my 1 year old standard battery, that was with light use but still just under 3 hours of screen time and an hour of phone calls. I hope with this new battery I can get 24 hours+ with heavy use playing GTA3 for few hours
I very much doubt the battery you have got will be 1900mah, a copy of the 1500mah at best.
I'll do a test with the battery once I have done a few charges, I'll play a film on a loop and post the results
Experienced users seem quite happy with it here and it's only £13.90 delivered:
http://www.darkyrom.com/community/i...batteries-for-sgs-i9000-and-sgs-2-i9100.5181/
Received my battery about a week ago - so far has been superb, lasts far longer than the original one does - yesterday I had my phone on for over 14 hours of which >4 hours display time and still had 21% which is better than I got on the Samsung battery

get the Anker 1800mah
Hey there,
I was having crazy battery life with my old battery, which on darky's ROM lasted about 10-12 hours and then on MIUI not more than 6-8 hours. I bought another one and it was definitely a fake by the looks of things, but the batterylife did not change that much. i bought the 1800mah ANKER from Amazon and it lasts about 18 hours easy. I bought mine in the US, but i have seen them on Amazon. Hope it helps.
Thanks. I've already ordered mine but if it's no good I'll get the one you recommended. I can't see any in the UK on amazon or ebay though?

I've buyed the Galaxy S Plus original baterry in hope that it will last longer...posting after getting it
I found one for £9 on Amazon.
It claims to be 3500 and it certainly doubles my battery life. Adds a bit of heft, but the cover doesn't obscure the camera.
Battery screenshots etc on my blog.
The one I bought seems to work pretty well.
i bought one from akku king a 1800 mAh it runs pretty good, and then a charger for only the akku from dealextreme
I buyed one the last week on dealextreme, search for genuine i9000 battery. I'm waiting for it, because the shipping is a bit slowly but free
Hi there ,
I know I should use search , but considering I've just got to this S4 forum , I would really appreciate if someone who read all the threads up until now can sum it up for me so I won't have to start and read all the threads that speak about batteries , I know that there are 3 great brands, I'm thinking about ANKER ... does anyone think otherwise?
Thanks for your help friends
Well buddy. ..i just got the ec battery pack and i am enjoying so far. i will post a mini review about it Pretty soon.

so I end up buying the anker batteries ,
I currently have the i9300 anker battery and I'm very happy with it .
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CBTTA4A/ref=pe_309540_26725410_item
I registered my phone on Samsung.com and promptly received an email with a 50% off coupon. I then used that to buy a second actual Samsung battery for $20. No worries about NFC not working right. No worries about getting some cheap battery that doesn't last as long as stock.
And I really think I only need one spare battery, so getting a "good deal" on some aftermarket set where I could get 2 "equal" batteries for the same money i spent doesn't really interest me. I haven't read a single review yet that confirmed any specific aftermarket battery to work fully as well for NFC as the stock battery. I have seen some that said a battery's NFC worked perfectly, but then you find out they only tested something like S-Beam, but they didn't actually test using it for Google Wallet or to make a payment with ISIS. Since I HAVE seen other reviews (on Amazon) where the person found S-Beam to work and NFC payments to still not work, I infer that those two things are different and a test that only tests S-Beam is incomplete and thus inconclusive.

Has anyone else tried the EC Technology battery yet? They claim it is 2800 but doesn't require any extended back cover. There are no reviews for this yet on Amazon. The reviews are for all the other batteries they sell and are favorable. I had their battery for the EVO 3D and it worked great. Trying to decide which spare battery I want to pick up between the Anker, Onite, EC, or RAVPOWER. To the poster that bought the battery, did you contact them and ask why NFC is not working?
According to the company the EC Technology battery does NOT support NFC but does have a slightly higher capacity 2800 vs 2600.
According to the Amazon reviews the newer version of the Anker does support NFC.

Hrm... is there any danger in using a battery like this? IS there any likelihood that it can damage the phone? Not worth it to save a few bucks and risk a $700 phone.

No danger of damage, but some of the cheap ones can cause instability and odd behavior - there is a chip in them after all. I bought the 2 pack onite with charger for about $22 - NFC capable and 1 year warranty.I consider most amazon purchases safe, but i would never buy a battery off ebay.

Yes, another review here showed it thicker then stock, and if i went with wireless charging, that is already adding a layer, so I didn't want the back popping off. There were 5 or 6 other good reviews of Onite, and on Amazon, all is positive regarding batteries. So i gave it a shot, and happy so far.
I'm using momax, and have for my s2 and s3...though only because anker is difficult and too expensive to get shipped to australia

was checking amazon for extended batts for my new relay and noticed that most/all said they fit both the relay and the i415 stratosphere 2/ii. so i searched for i415 batteries and found an actual samsung 3000mah unit - http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00C2ZEU4S/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?qid=1402385505&sr=8-4&pi=SL75
you can see that it's both 3.8v and 3000mah. the watt-hours listed on the flip side are almost double the stock one in my relay. there's another listing that also comes w/ the door for just a few bucks more, or some listings w/ just the door. the door has a verizon logo on it, but i bet a little thinner or nail polish remover would fix that.
for as cheap as it is, i'm willing to try it out. i will get the one w/ the stratosphere door. i'll also be buying one of the generic ones that actually says relay and comes w/ a door, since it looks like the camera opening might be slightly different. will compare fitment and battery life and of course post back here.
unless of course this has already been tried and failed...

thanks. i didn't think to check ebay. i guess i was just thinking i'd have better luck with an actual samsung piece, but if this is really 5000 mah i'll be set for days (or at least an entire day!). wish i'd have done my homework before buying my droid4 with its non-removable 1750mah battery that doesn't even last me to lunchtime some days...
guess i'll just get that one battery/cover and skip the stratosphere one. if this one doesn't last i'll consider the sammy batt next time around.

sounds like the one i just ordered. it's currently on the slow boat from china so i'll see it end of month if i'm lucky. now that my contract at vzw is officially up, i'll be going to tmo on friday to pick up some sim cards. yes, tmo is offering to pay your ETF, but the catch is you have to buy a phone from them AND trade in your old one. well they wouldn't sell me a relay as part of the deal and my droid4 supposedly has zero tradein value, so i had to wait out my contract. also sucks that i had to buy another sgs3 for my wife - her verizon one would technically work for voice/text with a tmo sim (in theory) but data would be like 2g speeds. no thanks. hopefully i can sell the vzw s3 (and some redundant accessories like otterbox/etc) to make up the difference.
meanwhile i've already rooted the relay and am about to try out liquidsmooth.
well the mpj 5000mah batt died and now i'm not having any luck getting warranty service. earlier this month it got very hot and swelled up to the point that the back cover no longer closes. bought in june, arrived in august (slow bot indeed) and died in early march. just over 7 months.
might try the strat2 batt this time since i dont want to wait another month for one to be shipped from china again.

I just put a Statosphere II battery (the Polar one linked above) in my wife's Relay. Zero issues, and WAY easier than fitting the bigger battery that required shaving down the back (from Nardholio's thread). That battery died after just a few months, so fingers crossed this Stratosphere II battery last longer (or my wife decides she can give up her physical keyboard!).

It's a 2100mAh battery w/NFC that fits in the stock relay back (there's actually some extra room in there).
Ooh that does sound nice. Im beginning to regret ordering another standard OEM one from china. All the good batteries are understandably in America and have ridiculous postage costs to Australia. I hope the polar works out. It might be the next one I get.

Ugh.... that's terrible. I guess your recent reply holds more weight since my response from them was back on 9/30. Unfortunately it's possible they may have cancelled plans for the extended battery for the Note Edge. Such a shame.

That's hilarious because that was the same person who emailed me back on 9/30 saying that there would be an extended battery available for the Note Edge. I guess Zero Lemon changed their mind sometime after.
I just emailed them last week about this, got the same response about I could get an external battery instead.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-3300mAh...786?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item27f80f680a
Interesting.... claims to be a 3300 mah "extended".... The ebay add is rife with errors so I am assuming this is a cheapo battery that claims to be 3300 and is likely 2500. At least companies are starting to make batteries that fit... that is the first step towards us getting an actual extended battery.
Anyone buy the Mugen Power extended battery yet? Says its 6000mah, nfc, and wireless charging compatible.
Im waiting to hear about this one too. I cant get through a full day with the Sammy 3000mah battery. Anyone have any pics on how the Mugen looks on their Edge?
