new Samsung battery crashes phone!

At CES 2011 Samsung was giving away spare batteries to Samsung owners. (Thanks Samsung!)
The battery charged fine with my 3rd party wall charger (obtained with 2 spare no-name batteries via ebay), but when the new Samsung battery is in the phone and I connect my wall charger, the phone dies until the cable is removed.
Obviously, voltage is dropping below what the phone can handle while the new battery is installed and the charger is connected.
The original battery is a EB575152VA and has a black label.
The new battery is a EB575152YZ and has a blue label.
Anyone else have the same problem?

Grrr! They we're?! I wish I would've known.
Are you positive it's not your charger?

damn damn damn!! i want a spare too!

They're prolly trying to blow up your vibrant to force you to get a Nexus S

Your 3rd party wall charger may have fubared the battery. Just an idea. Alot of 3rd party wall chargers are set to behave/charge a specific way, which can nuke newer specialized batteries if they behave different than the ones released when the aftermarket charger was (even if the new battery is for the same device). The panasonic toughbook batteries are prime examples.

A few months ago I purchased a battery charging stand and additonal battery from Verizon (I own the Vibrant). This battery has the same blue label. It functions fine in the phone but if I connect to charge, it powers off. Additionally, when I put my Vibrant battery into the Verizon charging stand, it will not charge that battery. I have searched many forums and have not found a reasonable explanation or solution. How much different can these two batteries be?

After looking up the model of the battery and poking around.

Though Verizon's Fascinate belongs to Samsung's Galaxy S series, the Fascinate uses a different battery from other Galaxy S phones like AT&T Captivate, Sprint Epic 4G and T-Mobile Vibrant. From the appearance, the Fascinate battery looks exactly the same as that of other Galaxy S Phones. But the chip inside is totally different. The Fascinate battery can't work on other Galaxy S phones, vice versa.
Both rated at 1500mAh, the Fascinate battery's OEM part number is EB575152YZ/EB575152YZBSTD, while the OEM part number for other Galaxy S phones is EB575152VA/EB575152VABSTD. Here are details of Fascinate battery:
Battery Type:Li-ION
Battery Capacity: 1500mAh
Voltage:3.7V
Weight: 33 grams
Size: 51mm x 51mmx5mm
Original battery code: EB575152YZ, EB575152YZBSTD
Compatible with Fascinate, Mesmerize, Showcase, SCH-I500

More than likely it has something specific to do with when its mode changes for charging. The chip regulates the charge to the battery to optimize battery life and decrease efficiency loss. You can read more here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium-ion_battery

Yeah, I made this mistake; I bought the official Samsung external battery charger from Verizon because it was $10 cheaper than the one from Sprint.
Foolish mistake; the one from Verizon only works on the Fascinate and the Mesmerize. The one from Sprint works on the Epic 4G, the Vibrant and the Captivate, but for whatever reason, it's $50, while the Verizon one is $40.
Still, $50 for an external charger plus spare battery is better than T-Mobile US charging $45 for just the Vibrant battery!

I think you need a aftermarket charger in this case. I have got a set from china and work for different brand of battery. Luckily.

Even with an aftermarket charger, it doesn't fix the problem with the battery being intended for the Fascinate and Mesmerize and not the Vibrant. The phone will not be stable with this battery installed.
From my experience using the blue Samsung battery: the Vibant will freeze often, and the battery gauge will not be accurate (off by +/-20% or more), the battery will drain ridiculously fast and the phone will become very hot.

3000mAh battery for vibrant on ebay for $20... came with the extended back cover a bit different at first but I got used to it. Works great.
Sent from my smokin fast vibrant.

I think the Samsung agent gave me a Fascinate battery instead of the one for everything else (including the Vibrant). I may just sell the Fascinate batteries on eBay.
I presume Verizon wanted a different battery to sell different accessories. I'm surprised Samsung went for it. They should have added a tab or something so the battery doesn't fit. Obviously even Samsung has trouble keeping things straight.
This is at least the second year Samsung gave away the batteries. They don't do it in the booth, but at a counter in area between the Central and North Halls, close to the Nathans/Pizza place.
Thanks everyone.. mystery solved.

Here is the thread that will get you to the battery
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=910519

Glad I'd found this thread !!!
I purchased an extra battery and charger on eBay recently. Imagine MY surprise when my phone started balking when I put the new battery in. I purchased EB575152VA , but needed EB575152YZ.
Anyone here with a EB575152YZ spare battery system want to trade out for an even swap ? Mine has been taken out of the box, the battery put in the phone, then taken out with a quickness when my phone chastised me. If so, please contact me or I'm going to eBay it. I'm so SO thankful I found this forum.
There's really not a lot of helpful info out there. You guys just saved me several hundred dollars in a blown up phone and a voided warranty.
Cheers !!!

Can we use samsung Galaxy S 2 Battery with Samsung Omnia 7 ?

Can we use samsung Galaxy S 2 Battery with Samsung Omnia 7 as it much bigger

You should stick with what the battery OEM gave you as their designed around the phone.
I assume the battery for S2 will be longer and wider and thinner since its a thinner device than Omnia 7

thx, i found one in amazon but it much thicker than the one with device
so i thought this would be like official alternative

Someone posted that the Omnia HD battery fitted. Don't know If It's true as I haven't first hand experience with that model.

i think Omnia HD has the same Standard battery Li-Ion 1500 mAh
so there nothing new with it

yup, using omnia HD batteries just now. the batteries have the exact same model number!

batteries of the samsung wave also fits!
confirmed by myself yesterdag

also the samsung wave 1 and 2 use the same Standard battery Li-Ion 1500 mAh

Mugen battery, my review
I will have a review on this battery later down the road. Im getting one of these from free "10-15 day" shipping. Once I get the battery, and play around with it.... I'll review this battery compared to a couple roms.
Alien V4, Cyan prebeta#4, and one more if I may. APRX of normal use, and running benchmarks. I should get this battery in about 12 days or less-ish.
Let's see how awesome this battery can be!
Edit: I will have close up hi-res pictures also, since I know some people sweat over those... >

SGSII 1800mah battery, SGSI compatible for $20

http://www.mobilecityonline.com/wireless/store/productdetail.asp?productid=28506
Confirmed by multiple sources to fit in Samsung Galaxy S I variants such as the Vibrant, Fascinate, etc. Since it's a Samsung made (read: Not Chinese hackery) battery, the 1800mah is all but guaranteed.
Have since received the batteries in the mail. They fit perfectly in both my Samsung Vibrant and Samsung Fascinate. Initial battery life tests seem to confirm the 1800mah listed on the side.

I see no point in that as you can now get a 2000mah battery from Samsung. It makes your phone a bit fatter and comes with a different cover but it adds some decent juice.
http://blog.gsmarena.com/samsung-re...galaxy-s-ii-gives-you-all-the-juice-you-need/
I might get one later.

So does this one is still the same size as the normal one?
I'd like one for my sgs2

Wow, where to start. First, that 200mah requires a fatter phone. The whole selling point of the 1800mah battery is that it doesn't require a new battery cover, and thus does not require a new case. For the many of us with Otterbox cases and the like, this is very good news. I highly doubt I'd give up my Otterbox for a mere 200 mah. If I were going for an extended battery that required a new battery cover, I wouldn't aim so low as 2000mah, but would opt for the Momax 2700mah battery with the kickstand battery cover, or the crazier 3600mah upgrades on the market.
Secondly, this battery is SGS1 compatibility. The Vibrant, Mezmerize, Fascinate, Epic, Galaxy S 4g, i9000, etc all have 1500 mah batteries. To get a legitimate 1800mah battery that doesn't require an extended battery door is a real boon.

Does anyone know if Samsung do any extended/ higher mah battery for the nexus s?

Received the batteries in the mail today. They fit perfectly into both my Vibrant and Fascinate, and initial testing corroborates the mah rating of 1800.

Can now confirm that the battery is not only legitimate, but holds up to the 1800 mah claims. Quite the steal for $20!

Would this work on a Samsung Focus?

If the Focus is a Galaxy S variant, then yes. Otherwise, no.

How much more does the battery last?

So far, for me, it's lasted about as long as it's rated, meaning about 20% longer than stock.

yo the sprint galaxy s2 epich 4g touch ... ugh so long to say that... umm , it comes with a the 1800 already

I will trade someone two of the stock Galaxy S 1 batteries for one of those.

OMG~SAMSUNG is everywhere

Hi pals
Found an interesting NEWS from Taiwan, it looks like SAMSUNG invests a great number of bulks for selling their phone. Including some malicious attacks. You guys who know Chinese may easily understand how Samsung promote and sell by manipulating threads or replies. No sure XDA is under their radar or not~ just have a look!
