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.
http://sunpow.forumotion.com/t207-samsung-fascinate-battery-eb575152yz
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.
Nero v4.1 + Dow

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 !!!

Very interested in these batterys.
Whats the warranty and how long would it take to ship to Aus?

If the picture's anything to go by, this guy's selling the OEM battery on eBay for under $20 including postage.
Doing a search on eBay for "HB4F1" (the battery code) yields many cheaper results, though their photos indicate that they're aftermarket rather than the original.
If you do decide to buy one, I'd suggest you refrain from leaving feedback until you've had a chance to test it for a few days to confirm that you're getting at least the same life as you got with your original battery.
Based on past experience (with other 'phones), you'll never get anywhere near the rated capacity with "no-name" (and in "no-name" I also include Mugen et al) batteries; they're really only good for emergency back-ups rather than replacing your existing battery. And you'll NEVER get more than the OEM battery's capacity, no matter what the aftermarket manufacturers tell you.

$99 is very pricy for a phone that costs ~$300. AND the the phone becomes bulkier, no thanks.

$99 for one battery? I prefer buy 3 or 4 standard bateries and swap when they gets empty lol

I would love to have one of these especially the 3600 mah

ive heard that 1800mah is something like failure or fake, it doesnt last that longer than the 1500mah one. also except that the 3600mah is soooo fat i think its really expensive also considering the fact that it might be used and of course not certified

I buyed two of this batteries. My batteries production date 1,5 year ago and it's lighter than orginal battery. These batteries are waiting for emergency call (if orginal batter empty in a emergency situation) I never charged them and i dont know performance. I am just tested them on my phone. They are %50 charged and phone can working with them.

Have they the same size as a normal one?
the site shows a big back cover.

Nope, they are fat fat that's why they had custom back cover.

[Q] MPJ 4500mAh High Capacity Battery for Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Compatibility?

Hi All,
Has anyone purchased the following extended (4500 mAh) battery from MPJ?
http://www.mpjbattery.com/mpj-4500m...sung-galaxy-note-iii-3-n7200-n9000-n9005.html
Should I be concerned if this will work with our beloved phablet (Model # SM-900V) or not?
Since the website above didn't specifically spell this out, I'm a little hesitant to make the purchase, but, for the most part, I'm sure it will work with our phone. i'm also assuming it is exactly the same size as the original STOCK Samsung battery that came with our phones so I needn't worry about an extended battery cover as well.
Please advise.
Thanks in advance, folks!

Man I wouldn't buy that junk. The stock battery on this bad boy does phenomenal. The only after market battery I've used is Zerolemon. Those were some great batteries. They had one for the s4 that fit in the phone with the OE battery cover and was an extra 2 or 3 hundred mah since they didn't put nfc support in the battery. They also have that big 10,000 mah battery that turns the phone into a brick.

Thanks HarleyDroid,
'preciate the feedback.

[Q] lg g2 slow charging n fast battery draining

hello!!
i recently bought lg g2 D802 16gb n upgraded it to lollipop 5.0.2(v30d-vdf-com) but i m having problem with the battery life ..my father got lg g2 (vs980) and it gives around 6 hours of screen on time (running on jelly beans) but my g2 gives less than 4 n a half hour SOT ..plus it takes 2.30 hours to charge fully even more sometimes...lollipop was supposed to improve these things but its quite disappointing :/ is there anything i can do to make it back on track except factory resting
is there any chance the battery could be fake or not working properly?
any help would be appreciated thanks

so did u find any solution yet?

I have the same pb too..
It's anormal!
To be at 100% => 7 hours of charging.. AMAZING xD
I didn't find any solutions...
I hope dorimanx make a new kernel
With the application AMPERE I'm at 150 mA max.. i change the cable but doesn't work anymore..
Please, help us.

Couple questions:
1. Did you guys buy your phones new or refurbished/used?
2. How did the battery work on Kit Kat or JB?
Based on these 2 questions we'll know if the battery has been replaced with a fake or if the battery is old and needs to be replaced.
Good thing is the battery is inexpensive (10-15.00) and is easy to replace for a novice/beginner

Are you using original cable and original charger? My G2 used to charge slow on Lollipop too, but I wasnt using original cable. But on the other hand, with same cable it was charging good on KitKat, lol.
With original charger and cable it charge as fast as on KitKat.

It's my own G2. Was a new when I bought it.
And I use all the charger and cable from LG..

Mine is same with everything original.

So ? Any solutions ?

I had the same issue.
Do a total wipe including a dalvik cache . Now i have 5+hrs screen on

All the wipes ?
Internal storage too ?
Because I change the rom nothing is better!
And to recharge my G2 is 9hours... xD

I have had the same charging problem with my LG G2 D802 16gb phone from Hong Kong.
I bought it brand new and it always took around 7 hours or so to charge. When checking the charge rate via the system menu or 3rd party apps, it's always charging below 500mAH instead of the max 1600mAH it should charge at (when the phone is switched on).
Even changing ROMS or changing cables/chargers has not fixed the problem. I suspect some phones are just 'faulty' and do not charge quickly.
My wife has the D802T edition (from Australia) and that charges fine.
Unfortunately i dont have a solution to your problem but i can confirm that the problem persists throughout:
* kitkat, jellybean, lollipop
* stock cable/charger
* aftermarket 2A charger
* aftermarket copper core high quality USB cable
* 2A powerbank charging
* switching phone on or off (still charges at same/similar rate)
oh this might be unrelated, but my LG G2 is the RED one... which i think is somewhat rare compared to the black or white colours...

Maybe, but before I was on speed charge.. Strange

Went from 7h screen on time to 2.5.
Also my battery started swelling which is what will probably start happening to yours as well.

Anyone having this problem needs to factory reset their phone. This fixes it.

Did I just get a lemon?

I got a brand new battery (Samsung branded, so "original") a month ago. But...it takes 1h40mins to fully charge from 0 to 100%. I remember the S5 took like 2h at the very minimum to charge from 10 to 100% some years ago with its first battery. Did I just get a lemon with twice as small battery capacity (Again, everything looks like the original battery. Says it's Vietnam-Korean and has a manufacturing date as well at the bottom left corner.). I flashed a stock 6.0.1 ROM to see if there was some fast charging option left enabled from the ROM/kernel I am on but it still said it needed around 1h40mins for a full charge from 0 to 100%. Wtf? Help, please
PS: I can get 4h SOT and around 10h total time with watching YouTube via WiFi for 2 hours and the other 2 doing other stuff around the web and other apps. But this charging time bothers me, it was not as fast as it is now.

Its possible, depending on where you got it from It could be a used battery. Do you see any type of nicks or scratches on the gold connectors at the top? Do you see any swelling on the battery as well? I got two batteries I use for my S5 and one is starting to swell and will not charge to 100% anymore.

Are you plugging the phone to any type of fast charger? My S7's fast charge plug in would charge other non- fast charge phones just slightly faster than a normal charger?
Grasping at straws here lol
You could ask the store to see if you could get another one, if that one is the same it maybe just normal now?
