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.

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 !!!
Hello all,
I just moved and lost my extra Sammy battery external charger....UGH. I've LOVED never having to charge my phone itself.
Just curious if anyone has tried any of the aftermarket options on ebay or elsewhere and can vouch for them. I know they may not perform quite as well as the OEM pair, but if they are comparable, it would be pretty good bang for the buck.
Thanks for any input!
From what I've seen the Yoobao 2800mAh is a good battery. It looks like the 3500mAh's aren't really 3500 and just have a different sticker. From everything I've read it looks like the Yoobao is what to go with. I'm actually going to order one today.
As far as a charger, I have the oem charger, and I have the Sprint charger (traveler charger plus) that charges it's battery pack from the wall, and then you can unplug it from the wall and carry it with you. I can generally get about half of a full charge (while using it) without it being plugged into the wall.
[edit] I think this should be in Q and A?
I'd go with Amazon.
I've tried the very cheap knockoffs (batteries and chargers). They do not perform as well as as the Samsung-branded OEM combo, which is available on Amazon in Samsung retail packaging for about $25 plus shipping.
I got a review in the Accessory section on one. Been working awesome for me for months now.

If you are looking for a battery, by far the best deal is the one in my sig for capacity/price. The best battery by far in capacity/size is the OEM battery.

Just a couple of questions about the 3500 mAh battery and the charge dock:
1. Can the 3500 mAh battery charge in that external charger (ie outside of the phone in the charger bay).
2. If you use the dock with the phone upright, does it block speaker sound coming out of it from the back, since plan on using it next to my bed and my phone is also my alarm clock.
Thanks!
The blackberry chargers are awesome.

That external charger works with all batteries including the extended batteries. The dock blocks a little of the sound, but its not completely muffled.
Meetface I was wondering where you've been! Looking for your lost charger I now see.

Thanks all for the replies, I'll have to decide what I want to do.
I like the Yoo Bao 2800mah. I can charge it to full, leave 3g on all day and still have half battery about 16-18 hours later.

That's what I'm talking about. I may be picking this up if you have 3 mo good track record.
I don't care for anything that makes my phone any larger than it already is =]
wow. This thing on airplane mode can even make energizer bunny eat dust!
Devices:
Samsung Galaxy S3 - stock JB leak
HTC Incredible - JB Inc RC3
Since I got my incredible 4g, I've had this thing in airplane mode using it as a calculator, flashlight, etc. I think I've recharged it 4 times in 2 months. I wish I got nearly that good of life out of it when I used it with verizon.
What ROM are you using, OP?
From his post, it says "HTC Incredible - JB Inc RC3 ". I'd guess that means Albinoman's.
What's the point of the "great battery life" if you basically don't use your phone at all to achieve it? Battery life should be determined by a week of normal use. If that's how you use it, then congrats, but for the rest of us, that's why they made watches.

Hear, hear! I'd love to see how long the op's phone would last if they were actually using it (e.g. as a pmp).
I use it in my car as an MP3 player and i charge it a little less than once a week. Now as a phone/without airplane mode this thing was not good on battery life. That's where the gs3 does great.

Just wanted to say that I run with 3500 mah batteries. Recently purchased a ravpower universal adapter for 9.99 on new egg. It charges my batteries fuller than a charger I bought on ebay for 20$ which was an evo charger with an adapter. The old charger would stop charging when battery was at about 75-95%. So I would get about 20-24 hours of battery life with medium to moderate usage.
With same batteries charged with new charger, i get the full 100% and up to 25-30 hours of life. So a good purchase if you want to extend the life of your Dinc. Its a cool charger too because since it's adjustable, and it will fit nearly any flat battery in the future plus it charges faster at 600 mah.
Btw, the thing I think causes the biggest drain on battery is the 3g radio. When turned off, and you could easily get 4-5 days of standby.

soo currently the Newtrent battery packs are on sale and i would like some opinions about the packs. :highfive:
Not needed for 95% of people who can find a power outlet of some kind once every 24 hours.
If you're going camping for a week I guess it could work. Or if you game on your phone 12 hours a day.
Not needed for me.

I have two battery packs. One slimline Anker battery that is great for emergencies. That one has a cord built in to charge. That one is like 3200mAh
I also have a new trent 10000mah one as well. That one travels with me. Has two usb ports to charge up my N4 and N7. Pretty fast too. However doesn't hold it's charge as well as the Anker IMO, but works.

If I'm going to rely on a battery pack, I'd rather get the biggest capacity of ~13000 mah.
I've had a New Trent 11,000mAh external battery pack for well over a year now and it's been pretty solid overall. My biggest complaint is that charging the battery pack itself is a little bit of a pain in the ass because it's really picky about the connection to the wall wart, you have to turn the piece that plugs into the battery pack until it connects just right to get a good charge. I assume this could just be a minor defect in my unit. I would say check out some of the other options out there as well, I picked up a 5,000mAh external battery for $20 on Amazon as a stocking stuffer for my wife this last year.

Do you all get the battery cradle woth v20 ? Here in india they are not giving or selling .. Its hard to find it.. Instead of v20 they gave me lg g5 battery cradle as a complimentary(not from lg store) .. But it is not that useful as it could be woth v20 battery kit. Just using it as a usb torch light and power bank device.
That's quite odd. Honestly the battery life is great hence i do not see the need of buying an extra case with battery nevertheless buy it from Amazon.com or alibaba

Pretty good so far, accommodates a device with a case and a spare battery. Not a bad cradle for the price.
I have this one, and it works great - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01CS0UVR6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_ragFybB0Z6STF
That thing and a spare battery, and I always have over 100% battery available. Whole reason I wanted this phone over a Samsung ?
Edit: Holy crap, forget mine, I want the one in the preceding post - cheaper AND it'll charge the spare battery at the same time!? I am missing out!

Does this charge a spare battery? Why is it so much more expensive than the one I bought for less features? It IS slicker looking but you can't charge a spare battery.
Nope, it'll take my phone with its case on, but it does not charge a spare battery. It was a gift, so I'm not complaining, but yours looks much better to me.
