Where are the batteries?

This is getting stupid, over a month after launch and still no genuine spare batteries? Anyone have any information on this?

[Q] Getting a New Battery

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.

Bought and i'm waiting for it.

NO!
Dont ever buy gold batterys! there all fakes.
Try ankar or zerolemon

i have a 7500mah anker battery for my s5. it is beast. even on the first day of ownership of the anker battery, i noticed a huge increase in battery life. i highly recommend the anker 7500mah battery or zerolemon battery. both are reviewed with high ratings on amazon and the respective anker and zerolemon sites.

Yeah,Anker,Zerolemon and Onite batteries are very popular on Amazon.

It's 4 dollars. You have nothing to lose.
Except if it's really crap quality and it overheats and ends up shorting your device. Or even worse catching fire or something.

looking at the same battery right now.
Is it any good? better than stock battery? last longe, doesn't get hot... ?

The cells in those cheap batteries just aren't up to the job of high drain phones like the S5, so all you doing is risking the battery shorting or overheating and going pop inside your phone, so spend a few dollars extra and get an Anker battery because they are good.

And thinking about the capacity they pronounce you never ever will get even near 4000mAh or more mAh with a LiIon/Poly battery with the dimensions of the original S5 battery.
We had a thread here about MPJ replacement battery for the S5 (thread at xda, producers webshop) which should be a 4300mAh version. I only bought it in order to check the capacity because there was a big discussion on this. I checked it with a special computer driven battery charger and with the S5 itself. It had nearly the same capacity as my some month old original S5 battery. I cannot say anything about long term use because I only tested it for some weeks.
So my recommendation would be get an original battery directly from Samsung (in order to not get a fake) or look after Anker (I tested it good with my S3), Zerolemon, MPJ. They are more or less proved quality.

Replacement batteries.

Have had my note 4 that i bought from swappa for a week now and would like to buy some extra batteries.I know that anker has normal replacement batteries and would like yo know how good they are since i am thinking of purchasing them.

I know that many people will swear that Anker batteries are very high quality ones, but my experience differed from that. After about 9 months, the batteries did not do too well. I was not happy with my phone's battery life. I ended up emailing Anker, who sent me 2 brand new batteries under warranty.
I would buy them again provided that you get a warranty and actually use it if the need arises.

I have Anker replacement batteries for my Note 4 and have owned Anker batteries for my Note 2. No problems and they've never lost their charge (unlike the Samsung original batteries have for me).

Replacement Battery

Has anyone found a good replacement battery for the MAXX? The original bit the dust after about 2.5 years. I replaced it with "new" old stock battery which was not much better. It was about the same age as the one it replaced and was not much better. I bought an Onite battery from Amazon. Its better than the "new" old stock battery but not nearly as good as the one that came with the phone. The Battery Monitor Widget app shows it's capacity at 2500maH not the 3500maH that the original had.
Is there a reliable aftermarket battery supplier out there??
Thanks
John
