Sounds good as they are the same size as stock battery, but not sure if they live up to expectations?
Did you buy the battery????
If yes, can you tell us something about?
I' bought ones (different productor) from another buyer: after 2 days it was broken...
No, was waiting for some positive reviews of the battery...
you can`t trust these batteries and those ebay-sellers
I bought one B. with the same specs over here in Germany from an ebay-seller,
but found out that my 1340 mA/h has done the same job.
I would not trust them untill it is sold from a company that is reliable.

Hi All,
Firstly, this is my first post, so please be gentle with me. (correction, I mean the first thread i have started)
I scoured the forum and have found lots of comments on the ilk of "my battery has failed at x%", but no-one seems to have made any comments on a replacement battery that they recommend or a web link that you could use to purchase one.
So, of you guys and girls that have bought a replacement, can you please give us the benefit of your experience regarding what you feel is great or what to avoid like the plague?
Thanks one and all!
James

Always buying the original battery is my recommendation

Akku Polarcell
Hi,
I bought a new battery and everything works fine. I can use my universal with activated wlan till 0%. Also the charging-time decreased enormous. The battery comes from ebay (Germany).
Label: Akku Polarcell, For Qtek 9000, 3.7V Li-Polymer Battery, 1650mAh
Price: 14,90€
Seller: wannsee-electronic

I bought my battery from eBay - the cheapest one I could find. It works ok, but not as good as the original. I think others have had bad experiences and it seems really hit and miss on eBay, so I would only go on recommendation from someone else. The original was so expensive, I really couldn't justify spending that much!
I think you mean this is the first thread you have opened I've seen you about. That name of yours kind of sticks in the memory. (Dont explain. we dont want to know)
I got a new battery off a UK seller on Ebay 7-8 weeks ago for £5 plus P&P. He said it was genuine and it looked like the genuine article. It shorted out after 4 weeks but he sent me another. so far so good. What do you get for under a tenner?
I was thinking of purchasing additional batteries, seeing that the retail price of the batteries are very high I was wondering if OEM replacement on eBay (< $5) would do the job. What do you guys think?
Could a mod move this to the accessories forum...? I posted in the wrong one...

I dont think so. In the ebay auction that everyone one is raving about it clearly states that they are NOT original batteries. This guy says they are 100% OEM originals. Which is why i wanted it. I didn't want to have a tiawanese copy in my phone.

but that is what i'm saying
that battery shown in the picture is EXACTLY the same batteries included in that package that says "not original" batteries
i'm using them, they last as long as the "original" battery.
as far as i'm concerned they are all original, the packaging of the battery and markings confirms it's authentic G7 from Samsung, although these was obviously manufacture before for the older devices.
If the ebay seller says they are not original OEM batterys they are copies. Im not saying that copies cannot be a good thing but i would much rather buy a orignal battery for a few bucks more than to take a risk with a copy. Counterfitting is HUGE out of HK and who knows what kind of QC they have on thier products. The extra $10 is worth the peice of mind to me.

Clearly you have never seen the Sandisk SD cards which say "sandisk" and come in the same packaging. The battery markings mean NOTHING, and are easy to forge.. Generally though if an item is MUCH cheaper than the official RRP, it's either stolen, or fake. When I worked in sales at an Apple reseller, we used to get emails all the time from companies in HK which wanted to offer us hundreds of batteries and such for VERY cheap.
The fact he is selling so many, different brand batteries in bulk (all "genuine"), and so many third party accessories for me is a red flag. But the even bigger red flag, is that he is selling genuine Apple ones, and Apple don't even provide iPod batteries to 3rd party dealers.. You certainly can't ask Apple for some genuine Apple batteries (if you don't believe me, run down to your local Applecentre, and ask for a new battery for an iPod). At least here in Australia, they don't hand them out. Sorry, but everything I've seen in my experience suggests these are fakes.. I could be wrong though (but the fact he is giving them to you in bulk, means they cost him barely anything).
Whatever happens, I'm just going to buy that nice extra battery pack casing. Just to be sure. L
I bought a 100% original battery from a samsung dealer here in mumbai. He told me he had to source it from a service center as original accessories like these have not been launched "officially" by samsung.
Cost me 1200 indian rupees = $26
6 month warranty by Samsung. And the thing works just like a charm !!
it's a FAKE battery, the Genuine ones have a different markings specially where it says G7
i'm using those FAKE batteries, although they might be very good replicas of the old G7 batteries, they are not real
but performance wise, they work just as good as the OEM (originals) from Samsung
you will be better off buying this instead

At least this guy is honest, and say clearly NOT REAL
there we go i made topic just for you guys

If you get SGS batteries on ebay, you are best off getting 3rd party batteries, rather than branded fakes.
Because branded fakes simply are designed to fool the buyer long enough into thinking they are real. This means good enough capacity, and good enough external build quality. They aren't designed for quality
Has anyone come across a UK or European supply for spare batteries?
I do a bit of geocaching so a spare battery always comes in handy.
I have not found any suppliers in the UK selling the battery yet. Even though Defy has a good battery life I still like to carry a spare battery with me as well.
I'm also after a spare battery, always useful to have.
I've raised a support request with Motorola UK asking them where / when they will be available. They should be available in their own online store at least.
I have a sneaking suspicion that the popularity of the DEFY might be taking them by surprise.
I did a little bit of research lastnight and the only official accessories is available for Motorola Defy is the battery door/cover going for $9.99.

It appears the battery door is sold by amazon (at checkout time) but when I visited amazon.com (US) I could not find it. Nonetheless, this is rather a good news that it is possible to replace the battery door in case it wears off or damaged.
doesn't any other motorola phone use the same battery?
the milestone 2 uses a 1540mah battery, can anyone confirm whether they are the same.

The Bravo uses the same battery but that is a US only device.

Aftermarket batteries have shown up now. Anyone got any experience with any of these companies?

I am thinking best to wait for a Moto official battery.
I would prefer an official Motorola one, but if nothing is forthcoming in the next couple of weeks I'll buy a 3rd party battery.
Northing back from my Motorola support request as of yet.
I have just ordered this one.
Lets see how it works.
Defy battery now available on the motorola site $40 just seen it.
Well, i just recieved to emails: One with the notification "payment recieved" and the other a little bit later from paypal, saying that my payment has been paid back - my order is canceled.
I dont think those shops got any Defy Batteries stock.
Well, got a couple of garbled emails back from Motorola - god I hope I don't need any real support with this phone
One email in broken English suggested to contact expansys, who don't yet list the BF5X (in fact, they misleadingly list the MILESTONE battery as an accessory for the DEFY, when in fact it is physically the wrong shape).
The next email that arrived a day later told me they would be in touch when they knew where and when they would be selling any batteries!
It's quite funny but I also pointed out that their sites for online registration don't list the DEFY in the models dropdown. So they directed me to another Moto UK site that doesn't list the DEFY!
I've found this place in the US that have them in stock, take PayPal and ship internationally:
http://www.thinkmotorolabravo.com/motorola-bravo-battery-oem-13558.html
So have ordered one as I can't be arsed waiting for Motorola UK to work out where they are and what they're doing.
Any news on actually avaible third party spare batterys?

Not so much looking for a spare battery as much as an higher capacity battery. Any word on something like that?
Just been browsing ebay UK & found the following - 3.7v 1800mah. Can't post a link due to being a newbie but it's on ebay.co .uk & the item number is 200569859076.
Is very cheap in price so I'm wondering what it would be like in reality - too cheap to be any good?
guys the battery that came with my phone has started getting swelled. so i m thinkin of buyin a new battery for my phone
i tried searching the battery on ebay and i found a expensive one and a cheaper one
the expensive one is b600be series and comes in a samsung packaging (the one in my phone is also b600be)
the cheap one is b600bc series and comes in loose packaging and does not have nfc capabilty
also
although i dont want nfc and would like to save some bucks i am not sure if the b600bc one is original althouh the seller has mentioned it as original and also gives 6 months warranty . i found a plenty of top rated sellers which were selling the b600bc battery
any idea or suggestions regarding which one should i buy ?
Original Samsung batteries should have NFC. Only fake batteries don't have NFC.
Also, fake batteries tend to swell faster.
okay
thnx for the info i m gonna but the original one then.
What is Nfc??

It was the same Samsung part as the original. Had it for a few months now, works well.
Did you get one yet? I got this one off ebay last year, no complaints. I think there are only two options this style with the yellow trim and another that claims to be genuine samsung (but is probably fake) with orange/brown trim.
Installed NewPower99 about two years ago: Still going strong
The original battery started dropping fast below 40% charge one day, so I decided to get a replacement before those would be hard to come by.
I am quite astonished that they are still around in large numbers.

No issue having it shipped to Germany, either, because amazon.de won't carry anything alike.
Which Battery?
I replaced my phone battery and now it's not working well. It has also effected the phone speed. So, try to get only original battery.
I bought this one on amazon for more than 1 and half years. Still works fine. KingSener 9000mAh 3.75V SP3496A8H Battery For Samsung Google Nexus 10
