hi guys got a bt htc s710 for sale, immaculate condition, seriously its mint, boxed with all accessories
ANY OFFERS???
I scoured the internet and no one sells them. Same story for the Nexus One. All thats available are aftermarket clones, which are proved to be inferior by battery boss.
Where can I buy one these rare gems?
I'm located in the USA.
Here:

"A spare or replacement battery for HTC Desire, identical to the original"
That is not a genuine OEM HTC Desire battery. Its a copy.
Also, I don't want to order from the EU. VAT and shipping adds up.
That's the HTC Accessory store for Europe (a partnership with Expansys), i'm finding hard to believe they don't sell original batteries...
I don't know if they have a similar store for the us.

But it is produced by HTC (it is HTC shop - at the bottom is © Copyright 2008 HTC.) - it means that it is this same battery like original - they don't produce two types of batteries.
Yes, you are right, the store appears to be legit and the battery is most likely OEM. I went ahead and bought one from expansys-usa.
Just a side note: If Google sold this exact same battery for $25 at a profit, then HTC/Expansys margins must be very healthy. In mass retail anything above 20% is considered a blowout.
Thank you my friends.
???
How did the battery turn out? was it OEM, got a link to the exact one purchaced from expansys usa?
Thanks,
Brian

I have bought it few days ago and it's really nice. I think I'll buy one more piece.
I've been looking everywhere for a genuine original HTC Desire battery, but it seems impossible to find them! I've even ordered an expensive one from an eBay seller, but it's just a fake, which looks very similar on the front side but has different backside. It says "Manufactured by Formosa Electronic" in very small text.
Do you have experience that which of these sellers are posting genuine HTC batteries from Amazon?

Or should I just buy the German PolarCell from eBay?

Have you been able to recently find a genuine HTC battery for normal price, like around 10 pounds?
It's funny that you ask because I have been looking for a battery today. I found this website that appears to be genuine http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/uk/p_htc.aspx but it isn't cheap (about £35).
I'll look forward to the feedback on your other options. I bought one for a Sony Xperia (not mine) for £8 from Amazon and it was fine, but the reviews for the Desire batteries don't look good.
Hi,
recently i bought a "geniue" Battery for my Desire on ebay from a german seller.
When it came, it appeared to be original, but when i installed it, it gave me constant voltage and temperature values. So it was a faked one. I sent it back and became one behaving exactly the same. So i got my money back.
The next one was on Amazon, but not directly from Amazon. It also looked original, but it didn`t fit perfectly and it didn`t even charge. I´m waiting for a replacement atm. I´m still hoping to get a good one. All were about 10 Euro
so 7 pound?
regards

And the genuine one is 35 pound?
eBay 101 - lesson one - when something looks too good to be true, chances are it isn't.
Original one is around 30€ from registered reseller, 40€ HTC original
I think it's worth telling which seller did we buy from.
The fake which looked almost like the original was from "phonemarketuk" on eBay.
Now I've ordered one from "FoneM8store" from Amazon UK. I'll report when it arrives!
Before I was able to buy an original one from a seller for 7 pounds, so there is hope!
If there is nothing else, I think the best route is to go with PolarCell from Germany.
I´m not sure if it is allowed to post seller´s names here?
I tested the one from Amazon with my battery tester. It had about 1000mAh so the problem is not only the missing of values, but it has also less capacity than the original. Mine has about 1200mAh after 1.2 years.
But the worst was when i applied 5Volts to the Battery, it didnt switch off. So
this could be dangerous if anything in the charger circuit goes wrong.
Hi,
a few days ago the replacement was delivered. This one is original, and has about 1300mAh, so it seems that it was liing around some time.
But all in all ok, cost: 9,60€
Seller: WUSAR (who wants to give it a try)
on ebay, only boxed versions
I've got mine from amazon.de. After two sellers sold me fake ones (in a little plastic bag) for about 10 Euro I bought one directly from amazon. The result: I got a little HTC Box which a genuine battery for about 15 Euros. I dont think amazon.co.uk will sell you fake ones if you buy them directly from them.
Can you post a link? In Amazon.co.uk at least I've spend _ages_ looking for a genuine but there was none, and Amazon wasn't selling any directly.

nice to know that the original one should come on an HTC Box
Hi!
HTC SAV recommended me the HTC Accessory Store as the official HTC reseller. The battery for HTC Desire is expensive (~40 Euros) but I'm bored searching for the cheapest OEM one after being deceived from 2 reputated sellers (not on ebay) with fake ones.
Has anyone ever ordered the battery from that site (htcaccessorystore.com which is in fact Expansys company) ?
And the real question is : is that the genuine one that came with the phone and can be calibrated... ?
Thanks!
taobao.com in china, if you know chinese. but be careful, some batteries are second batteries
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda app-developers app

not a battery but i've purchased a number of htc things from expansys and found them to be fast, reputable and trusted. if they say it's a genuine battery i'd be inclined to believe them.
hope that helps you're decision making

I think the conclusion was that the only way to get genuine battery is to buy from the main Amazon.de shop. Be careful, not to by from a reseller, but from the amazon.de seller. Also, on this page one of them is fullfilled by amazon and it says 100% original, it might work.

Not ebay....my battery caught fire and melted my phone....thankfully it still works
You can look for a AOONEN BB99100 BATTERY FOR DESIRE A8181 on ebay: I bought one 3 month ago and it is a very reliable battery, last the same as than the original one.
I'm very pleased with it.
