Jeje, is because this battery is stored to many stuff. I don´t have my dead S4, only the battery, so it´s abandoned...

From what I can gather there are NO genuine Samsung logo batteries available, they are ALL fakes. The counterfieters read webpages like this to ensure their fake is mistaken for original because that's where the market is.

Thanks for the photos.
Could you weigh your batteries?
As you can read in this post counterfeit batteries are usually lighter than OEM: Fake vs OEM S5 Samsung Battery

Don't waste your time. OEM batteries are really old for this phone
Buy a battery that is grade A premium cell
This one was manufactured in 2020
I get 6hrs SOT Heavy usage and 1hr and half of light gaming

Well look at the attached screenshots in this post.
Her OEM Samsung battery for S5 is dated 2019.03.28. That's not too old & perfectly usable.
I also have a third-party S5 battery but they are not as durable as the OEM & their max capacity declines faster after a few months of daily usage AFAIK.

I once had an Anker battery for S3 it's been 2yrs and it still runs like it did when I got it it has about average 5hrs SOT light usage
You have to look at the company
If they cell premium grade a cells than your good to go
In fact I bought my battery for 20$ offering 500 cycles
And 12month warranty if the product hasn't reached your satisfaction
And btw that battery i bought for my s5 was manufactured in 2020 in January
It has the same rectangle protruding like the stock one

Here is my 3rd party battery 20$ from a good company with warranty incase the product didn't work how it was advertised

So this battery, after the mod, fits right into our G2's without having to use a different cover or anything?

I just took the red wrapper off of it and it fit snuggly
In terms of weight, does it change much? I'm thinking about picking up this battery if it's a drop-in replacement.
I just purchased, thanks.
Well, it's certainly cheap so might as well give it a try. I highly doubt it's even close to 1800mAh but hopefully it'll be more than 1300mAh and won't die after 50 cycles.
i wouldnt trust it since it from china, they been known to switch out label
Can you let us know what the battery life is like, compared to your normal battery, please? I am interested, but have heard too many tales of batteries that promise more but in fact deliver less. It would be great if this gave even 25% more over the standard battery!
Here's some independent testing that shows a lot of manufacturers claims aren't always that true:

thanks for the preview pic, on how to modify the battery. I purchased a battery for $5.98 USD! Cant wait to test it out.
Just curious but did you have your internet on the entire time you were doing the test run? I normally turn off my internet and activate it when needed, when I do that battery life for me is about 20 something hours, with mild usage (gaming and phone calling).
any more updates?
I just bought one. I will update you guys when i get it.
I ordered one. Wth for 8 bucks
From my permarooted overclocked HTC G2 with cyanogen 7 nightly via XDA app
I bought one from mugen site and it is awesome althought it is a little bit pricey but i think it worth. I charge it over night. Unplug it at 7 am and carry with me untill 10pm. My wireless was on the whole time. I have 3 email setup as default. Running sense ui so i believe there is some process running at the back ground. I only make about 30 min to 1 hour call. At 10 pm, i still have 35% life.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Well, too expensive
Just received mine. Removing the tab means it'll go into the space but it still won't fit quite right as the battery is slightly too thick for my cover to go back on.
I'll see if I can rectify this =/

Same problem here. If u take the red wrapper off i dont think it matters because the black plastic cheap outlined housing is the problem. I think i wasted 8 bucks
From my permarooted 1209mhz G2 with CM7 nightly 6
Yeah, I've taken the entire thing apart (piecemealed it together) now and while the cover will fit it still bulges out because the battery itself is a tad too thick.
It was a cheap experiment though so I'm not choked. The lesson here is that Incredible/Evo batteries don't fit our phones =(

Extended Battery for Note 4 from MPJ

I’ve been sticking with my Note 2 for years and just waiting until the Note 4 to upgrade. I came always with mixed feelings with the Note series. Loved the great display, superior hardware in the hood and S Pen, but found it was not convenient to carry. I was successfully controlled my desire not to buy a Note 3, because the improvements are minor, but for the Note 4, just regret to read those reviews on it lol.
Already fell in love with this device! Yesterday I received an email from MPJ asking me if I am willing to enter their giveaway for Note 4 extended batteries. They had sent me a free Note 2 4500mah battery for testing before and frankly Note 4 battery life is outstanding and replacement is no need for temporarily, but it definitely can't hurt to enter, so I will post my review as long as they send me a free sample.

Thank you. I like their battery for Note 3.
Whats the difference between this and a power bank? I have that power bank, and it serves the purpose of an external battery... pretty straightforward, too.
Don't have a Note 4. I hope I can request one sample for my galaxy s5

Not only does it look ugly, you probably won't be able put on a case with bigger back cover. I would just get a 3220mAh Battery for back up.
I have the 6440mah one. The phone charges under normal use once every 3 days and the display can last over 8 hrs depending on brightness.
How are you doing this? Are you running custom rom/kernal? I have the 8k hyperion and I don't think I can get past more than 30 hours with the same amount of on screen time. I have Stock rom stock kernal rooted with amplify and greenify and almost everything turned off, and it's so frustrating hearing so many people such as yourself talk about being about to for days without charging T.T

bigger battery?

As we all know you cant remove battery in note 5, but today when i got it they mentioned battery replacement in 1 year for free. So then i googled it and found the case on the back does come off, unscrew in 14 slots and you see samsungs battery and can remove it. So if that is possbile can we add more juice? Example on note 3 it comes with 3200mAh right? On ebay i bought a 4200mAh same size. So if back case is removable and the battery is replaceable this should be possbile?
https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Samsung+Galaxy+Note5+Battery+Replacement/51173#
The only issue I could see running into a bigger battery would be fitting it inside the phone. Those Chinese manufacturers that claim they are 5000mAh and the same physical size are yanking your chain, or are just terrible batteries. I'm sure if Samsung could have fit a larger capacity battery in the device, they would have. Your best bet is a Mophie or other external battery case.
http://m.ebay.com/itm/4200mAh-Batte...00-N9002-N9005-N9006-/331158602360?nav=SEARCH
Is the battery i got inside my note 3. Its actually a bit slimmer than samsungs battery, and the extra 1000 mAh is noticable as in the phone lasted longer and didnt discharge as fast. I found on ebay people selling note 5 internal batterys at 3000mAh. So im guessing no 1 has made a battery with more juice same size yet or they are in the process. But lets say note 5 active...the rumors of a bigger battery. If it is exactly the same size and everything is the same...we should be able to buy the active battery and inerset it right?
Obviously this isn't a bigger battery, but reaches the same goal. http://www.mophie.com/shop/juice-pack-note-5

because of what samsung stated. The 4gb, higher resoultion, chipset all should drain the battery because of the power hungryness. Due to the chipset being more...advance, power compustion is reduced by like 40% or something. Plus the fast charging and being more energy effceint.
as for the power case, yes i got 2 of them as well
Battery seems ok this phone hasnt had 2 full cycles yet

Galaxy S5 Extended Battery | HETP [6800 mah]

Hi Guys! I was looking around on Amazon for a extended battery coz my stock battery is draining so fast. When the battery percentage is between 18% or 15% sometimes it turns off immediately (without the samsung poweroff log). So I found this battery in Amazon (sorry the pic is from ebay) and I'm thinking of buying it. What do you think? Is it worth to buy or not?

Heck... I did not think it was really possible! 1 thing I would want to really know, is what kind on "Protection" is out for something like this? Knowing, that "IF" the battery is larger, you need a new back side (Battery Cover)! OK, Now, needing a new Battery cover, also means that any sort of Case will not work at all !!!! So, what is really out there for protection of the S5?
I will be checking into this! Yes, already have been looking into a newer battery. SO, guess I might as well look into this sort of thing.
Only concern, is Protection of the phone, after a new, larger , battery cover!!
Sounds like your battery is pretty old. What is it that you actually do with your phone? I would suggest just purchasing a new battery instead.. I just bought 2 new batteries on Ebay for under $17. You can also get a wall charge to keep them charged, and change out at least once a month..

Yes it comes with a new back cover and a phone case which is bulky. The only downside I think is it has no waterproof protection.

Ok and Thanks for the info.
Really dont want the S5 any more bulky, but still going to look at them...
Sent from my SM-G900P using XDA Labs
I was gonna get a similar case. My S5 battery is literally from day one release lol its not bloated or anything since I use Device Control to down tune the CPU and GPU (Kinda like apple does with iphones) but I don't mind more bulk for better battery. Easier to hold in my opinion
Где купить?
I have a 6600 mAh battery made by Tothl Technology, model EXTS5 that I have used in an S5 for a couple of years. It has worked pretty well. Due to its thickness, it came with a replacement back cover, and it does bulk the phone up a bit.
I've a power bear battery/case 6800mah or 7200mah. I works more like à 5500mah battery but It works like a charm .
The 4 or 5 first charges are a bit long. but really do the job.

Question replacement battery

Good grief! I bought an OEM battery off Ebay and its as bad as the one I painstakingly took out. How do I get a GOOD battery. Both Amazon and Ebay don't tell the manufacturer date OR answer questions when I asked them when it was made.
Thanks for any ideas!!
Try ufixit maybe?

I would recommend you to use the same battery if it is not swollen.
Just check whether it is giving 3.6 or 3.7 Volts through multimeter on
the battery itslef and at the BMS. Likely the battery is not damaged
most of the time but the component on the BMS is damaged.
Like the one I'm doing below. (Nokia 8 Sirocco Battery)
The second image ------ shows battery on the right that is ordered from Amazon which is totally swollen now
but the one on the left has been repaired by me using a salvaged BMS from same handset battery which is
very important because if not then the handset would not charge it properly. Also it shows correct voltage and
my handset now works perfectly/
