Hello
On ebay i see them very often but havnt found any review of them.
Clicky here
They claim to be 3000 mAh but are also the cheapest. (2.80 euros so about 3.65 dollar or 2.40 pounds)
And all of them say galaxy s4 i9500 but i read everywhere that i9500 and i9505 have the same battery?
Would be awsome if i can get some info or revies about this item.
Thank you for your time and info

It's not actually 3000 mAh. It won't last as much as the stock battery, you can be sure of that. If you're lucky it gets close to stock, and it's no more than a decent replacement battery.
The only real known 3000 mAh battery is the ZeroLemon one, which sacrifices NFC and has a slight bulge on the back cover (but does fit properly).
Okay
Thanks, i dont understand how they are allowed to just lie like that.
But even if it is about same strenght as stock or a bit less for the price its still very good.
I just want a battery for when mine runs out and i'm not able to charge.
But i also get a bit afraid that it might damage the device or something.
So as a "smaller capacity" backup this would do ? or might it cause some damage?
Thanks again.
I had the same question a while ago... I would just invest a little more and buy the ZeroLemon one, then use stock one as replacement. It's well worth the extra money.

But if you insist, that one you showed will do good as a backup battery, just use it if you run out and need a replacement right away.

Ok thank you very much.
I think i will buy it then because it will be as a last reserve.
Aready threw away a lot bloatware and startup items so my battery life is pretty good atm and most of the time i will be able to charge it.
I was kinda looking for a battery + external charger for a cheap combo deal but dont seem to find any.
And it even harder to find a european charger

Yeah it should be the same one as he mentioned.
But amazon is not good for everybody.
For me by example.
I live in belgium and we dont have a amazon site we have to go to the french, german or UK site .
But yeah chances are big we pay a lot shipping costs.
If i order from amazon i have to pay around 5 dollars per item or something for shipping alone.
I bought a 3 pack of these along with a charger for $14 USD and they work well but aren't as long lasting as the stock battery. Still plenty great to keep on me. They are great and ensure I never need to be tethered to a wall like an iPhone user. I have gotten between 4 (when in bad reception and lots of camera use) and 18 hours out of the aftermarket batteries.
The one show selling by ts is probably Power brand. Most of these after market is much less than 2600mah, some even less than 2000 mah. Try buying established brands such as Anker or Zerolemon and you will be fine.

I recommend that.
But I would only get it from Amazon or some other site that has a better chance of having original samsung products and not fakes.
Most 3rd party battery makers, seidio, etc have been tested to be really at 80-90% of their true mah listing.
Not sure why that is the case.
1 day and 07 minutes with 3% left on the stock battery. This phone is amazing. I have it rooted on the Verizon ME7 Stock configuration and have most of the Verizon Bloatware frozen. I've even used it quite a bit during that time on Facebook, taking a few pictures, playing games, texting, making numerous phone calls and checking email using either WiFi or Mobile Data connectivity. :good:
I previously had the S3 and it didn't even come close to half this life.
Hi, I was wondering if someone on here bought replacement batteries on AliExpress and could provide some feedback is it worth or they are selling low quality products that will lose it's capacity or explode, leak by 1 month of using?
I'm very much at a new battery stage and would mind some first hand experience, or ANYWHERE I can buy quality batteries that haven't sat around for years or half ruined...

I would be interested to hear as well. From what I see on Ebay/Amazon, many batteries are pulls from old phones, even when they are advertised as new (there is glue on the back, etc). Which means unless your battery is totally dead it won't offer much improvement. Particularly if they are abused by sitting on shelves for a year discharged.
I do know the OEM battery has a manufacturing date on the bottom, however I really doubt they are still being made.
I have looked for batteries made by reputable 3rd party makers like Anker but they seem to cater to the removable battery phone, not internal.
I don't care about it being original, but it sure needs to be good. Seems we have no options so far.
My Nexus 4 battery died and I had to change it.
The first battery I got was from https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00SMMFWZQ
It worked well but after 3 months, I was back to 50% capacity. It seemed like a reconditioned battery. It had a date on it which was January 2015. However the label had been tampered with, some sections were blacked out with a marker.
So I bought https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00X1USMBA
This seems to be a new battery made out of new cells.
After one month this battery still holds 100% charge.
I bought the one mentioned in the battery thread in this forum back in January of 2016 and have not had any issues.

Hey

i replaced it two days ago and its great performance
you can buy the original battery (and almost every part of the nexus 4 ,5, 5x) at (official spare parts distributer providing worldwide delivery): http://www.spareslg.com/gb/bateria-....html?search_query=nexus+4+battery&results=16
where you buy the battery from ?
I bought a battery on AliExpress last week, it took 10 days from order to delivery to Belgium (impressive).
I haven't installed it in my Nexus 4 yet (still waiting for the tools to come... shipping not as fast as wth the battery lol)
at least it looks very new. will report back once I install it and test it for a few days.

The product webpage says "CUUSEY" as the brand so it's most likely a 3rd party copy (or a reconditioned battery)
you can find it here http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Orig...s-For-LG-Google-Nexus-4-E960/32659188109.html

I finally installed my battery over the weekend. So far so good. Battery life doubled (I'm running the fake nexus marshmallow rom). I can finally go out for drinks without taking my power pack (had barely 4 hours of usage (not SOT) before!)
Sadly, a few days before I swapped the battery, the digitizer on my N4 finally gave up (like on so many others) and I have a vertical dead zone on my screen. I don't really feel like investing time and money to replace it so this is the end of the road for my good ol' Nexus 4. Hopefully a Pixel XL will replace it next month.

I've received the battery from AliExpress. It looks like it is a fake battery. Installed it just now.
Will post about how it performs in this week :fingers-crossed:
Edit 1: After using it for 12 hours, I'm very much disappointed to see that I'm getting less backup than my 4 year old battery (I understand this is just initial period but I was not expecting this ). See attached screenshot of battery drain.
Edit 2: On very second day of this new battery, the phone switched off when battery was 18%... Opened a dispute on AliExpress straightaway. This is 100% fake battery

I just purchased a battery on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NT2X4XG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It arrived today and I was a little surprised by the "Retail Packaging." Not sure what I was expecting, but seeing other Samsung product packaging, something similar.
Pulled the battery from my phone to check for difference, and everything looks exactly the same except for the serial portion. The text is a bit different than my original battery, with fatter letters. The QR code also looks different. Everything else looks exactly the same...
Anyone have any idea? Would hate to think I ponied up $25 to Amazon for a bootleg.

It's hard to tell to be honest... Due to the fact that you can just put a sticker on any battery that has a similar color, shape, and texture. You can compare the markers marks, serial numbers, and other text but not all Samsung batteries are made or sold from one factory. I've bought some from Amazon myself (3 in fact) and haven't ever had a problem. Heck, samsung doesn't even offer new ones anymore on their website. I just mark mine with a sharpy for their age etc. and use a battery only charger connected to a fast charger and am very happy with my set up. It seems that SOME of the batteries are refurbs but they are generally sold as such. Higher price and good reviews help as well. I would just go by performance since there is nothing else you can do since our devices are older at this point. Sorry I couldn't help with more...
Oh here's the link to my latest one that works fine for me. In fact... I think yours is from the same place. I'm pretty damn sure it's genuine.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00OQLMJR6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
And here's the link to my battery only charger (again this is connected to a QC 2.0 charger for best results!)
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00UFCRO0W/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Thanks for the response. Ya, i get it's older now, and bootlegs are all over the place. It's just a pain in the ass not to get ripped off nowadays buying phone accessories. On the plus side I guess we have options!
Only way is to buy directly from Samsung or buy a non-OEM battery that's likely not going to be copied such as from Anker

In general, this.
If you can't buy directly from the manufacturer anymore, buy a trusted third party battery. No one is going to bother faking a third party battery.
However, in my experience, any item sold and shipped directly by Amazon is trustworthy. The link you provided says it's shipped from and sold by Amazon.com, so you should be safe.
Just compared two original Samsung batteries for the S5, one that came with an SM-G900F (international S5), and one that comes with the S5's spare battery charging system (sold at Best Buy in the US). There were plenty of small differences in the battery labeling.
Why bother with Samsung official crap batteries? My note 4 original battery lasted 3 months from brand new to dead. I purchased a new Anker from Amazon and its over 8 months without issue and still holds an incredible charge. 20$ beats Samsung official any day in my book, I bought myself two just to have one handy but I have yet to date needed it.

Yes and yes.
NFC is done through the the stock cover and fast charging is done through the charger with the operating system. I only use anker now and both fast charging with NFC most definitely works.

I've just bought a "genuine Samsung Extra Battery Kit" and was told that all their stock is genuine. It's really the external charging cradle/coffin that I'm after as opposed to the battery (I always buy Anker as replacements) and I found you can't buy them from Sammy in the UK anymore so I've had to go trawling the net. Does anyone have any pointers as how I can check?
Once the battery is charged I'll check that the NFC and fast charging work, but I've no idea about the cradle and how to check....

Which sticky label are we talking here? Looking at the cradle I can't see anything that's stuck on - or is it the labelling on the base that'll currently be covered by the charging battery? Roughly how long does it take to charge your battery using the standard Sammy 2A charger?

Just bought a replacement battery direct from the Samsung UK site - £25 but worth it for the peace of mind, and knowledge that it's definitely genuine. Free delivery.

EDIT: Genuine Samsung packaging (with the window on the front of the box, and a plastic container for the battery) and manufacture date of last month, so fresh off the assembly line

I'm telling you guys, go with anker, they are far more reliable and cheaper. They outlast Samsung garbage batteries but to each his or her own.
And baffled why there is so much worry over original OEM batteries. Samsung batteries are totally junk.

Personally, I'm trying to work out if the unit I bought is likely to be a fake. Yes, you've already voiced your opinion on this topic, hence why I'm confused as to why you need to give the same again? You don't rate Samsung batteries based on your personal experiences. That's fair enough. But you've already rubbished them and said that you use Anker ones and I'm sure that's been duely noted by all of us reading this. But posting the same thing again in response to a conversation between two people who've already purchased Samsung units doesn't really help anyone, in this context.
From my experience, I had both Samsung and Anker batteries fail on me when I was travelling round India. The Sammy one's included the old battery that was on it's last legs and a cheapie (that was included in an order for other S3 stuff from ebay) but I had 2 out of 4 Anker ones die on me - all bought at the same time and all newer than the genuine Samsung one. Anker eventually, after a lot of emailing, gave me a refund for the faulty units. I then bought some more for the Note 3 that replaced the S3, and so far, one Anker for my new Note 4. So I'm not anti Anker - I really like their products (I've a great little bluetooth speaker from them). This is just for a bit of balance.
I also received external Anker chargers that were REALLY low quality junk for the S3 and then the Note 3. They came with 2 batteries direct from Anker on Amazon.com (the UK site didn't have any when I needed them).
---------- Post added at 06:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:07 PM ----------
I've charged the new battery and tried using NFC and it works fine - have they started making copies that use NFC (that used to be the way to spot a fake with the S3) or does that mean that I've got a genuine one?

Here's my opinion on this battery talk thread.
I have bought plenty of batteries from amazon for my devices. Some Oem and some not, and I haven't had one problem from none of my aftermarket ones either. Probably because I know how to charge/discharge a new battery. Any type of (new) battery will take a few days to calibrate for whatever device you use.
My motto buy it, test it out (myself) and see if it lives up to your standards. If its faulty for any reason, then return it for a replacement.
I'll end it with this statement, I have't had to return any of the batteries I ordered. And this goes back to my S2 up to my Note 4.
If your a true battery hog like myself then invest in a extended battery and call it a day.

Bajanman

Well.. I'm a bit hopeless ATM.
I'm trying to buy a new replacement battery for my H850.
Thing is, internet is FULL of scam sellers and even more products.
I mean yeah, it's easy to avoid Chinese crap with 18569303mah but there are batteries claim to be the "original" with the yellow sticker and everything but they're actually just fake copies.
Is there any trusted place I can order the actual original LG replacement and not a fake made in a basement in China?
Thanks
LG still sells OEM G5 batteries on their website for 39.99 USD. First result when googling LG G5 Battery. No one seems happy about the battery life on the reviews though.
original battery is also available in Aliexpress, i found only 1 listing with OEM battery, all others are fake!
I absolutely love my G5 SE H840, but the battery is shot. I can barely get half a day out of the thing. Open a game and I can sit and watch the battery drain at 3/4% per second. No I am in the market for a bettery and am also having a hard time finding an OEM battery anywhere around here (South Africa)

Normally the fakes come in horrible printed packaging And compared to a genuine one you can tell all kinds of misprints and such defects in the manufacturing process.
Where did all the spare batteries and charging cradles that lg gave away go? lol
I got 3 batteries and a cradle for mine still
Well I've got the battery and it seem fine.
It'll be the last battery for my G5.
By the time new battery will be needed G7 will be out and well... xD
Why not buy the charging cradle that already comes with an additional battery? Most of these cradles are legit and cheap, my most recent purchase was from last year and I only payed 18$ for a charging cradle (the battery included, same capacity) through Amazon
I would never pay for it $40 for this battery, I have two batteries and both of them drain horribly bad and most likely are already dying, and since i spent an entire year daily switching each battery due to lacking a charging cable, that only means that it used each battery for the length of an half a year.
These batteries are so so so so worthless it's not worth the sacrifice spending ton on money on a single unit
Edit: checked Amazon, cradles aren't cheap anymore, i guess lg dropped support for the lg g5 so their are not restocking their older replacement parts, unless I'm wrong.
You CAN find like 9$ lg g5 batteries on Amazon, by LG LG (not considering they are not the supplier, be careful with whichever store supplier you're buying, refunds are guaranteed either one way or another so it's nothing to worry about)
But yeah enjoy ur new fresh battery, hope this info helps others
Just ordered the 2-pack of AEXPower along with the external charger off Amazon. I have a Disney trip this weekend so I'll definitely make use of testing them out. I'll update this post Sunday night or Monday.
Update on the AEXPower batteries. Are they OEM quality? Close. I can almost get a full days of use out of it...taking pictures and posting to social media and such. But, the joy of this phone is having the ability to swap out batteries quickly. Battery Stats rated the battery right at 2800mAh after a few 100% discharges so I highly doubt that it's actually the 3000mAh that they rate it at. However, it's still a good battery and would definitely recommend it since you're getting 2 batteries and an external charger for sub $30.
Is it better to get OEM battery which was manufactured in 2016 or non OEM manufactured in 2017? Also does non OEM support Quick Charge 3?
This is the only one I saw on amazon with good reviews
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0788K5Z8V/
And I ran it thru fakespot and it says over 90% of the reviews are legit
Newegg.com.
Nice price too.

Just ordered the two pack with charger..... will post sometime in May after they get down here to me in S.A.
I have been using two LG batteries with the LG charger dock but they now shut off the phone when they get down to 15% very fast.
Was just going to get a newer phone but now with 15.1 (Oreo) coming soon I think I will stick with the phone another year!
I think we will be the last with a swappable battery in our phones
I haven't had much luck with after market batteries. I bought several off eBay, and have also bought off Amazon, and none of them worked as well as the original OEM. The OEM battery is hold and doesn't hold much of a charge, and I found zero improvement with the after market fake ones.
The only place I can find an OEM battery is from here for $33.10: https://www.samsungparts.com/GH43-04419C-BATTERY.html?oldpart=GH43-04419A
But Mobile Defenders sells them for much cheaper ($5.99-$8.99): https://www.mobiledefenders.com/catalogsearch/result/?cat=0&q=samsung+s6+battery
I just want to know about Mobile Defender's quality. Am I just going to get the exact same issues as all the other fake batteries? Or should I just stick with OEM? The other question I have is, is "samsungparts.com" an actual Samsung website? It's not samsung.com, and that is why I am asking. Plus, when I talk to Samsung in the chat (from samsung.com), they tell me they don't sell the S6 batteries and I have to go to an "authorized repair center." But the repair centers (Ufixit) want to charge $99 when I already have the back off and I can replace it myself.

Samsung parts is the official Samsung partner to sell phone parts and you'll get original Samsung parts but they are not Samsung directly as they don't sell directly parts to customers
I think what I may do is buy the Mophie Juice pack instead. It's at Walmart for about $20. I don't know what battery life on the S6 is like new, since I got the phone used at about 2 years old. But from what I'm reading, is that it really sucked in the first place. So a battery pack may be my best bet.
samsung s6 battery
If you want to buy original Battery then go for samsungparts. Otherwise, find more s6 battery suppliers like mobilesentrix and others, compare price and features so it will help you to buy a good quality battery.
