I got hold of 2 batteries for my S7 Edge because the original one got swollen due to a bad charger.
I see different writings on them and I was wondering if it's only the writings that are different or something else also.
What do you think? They will arrive tomorrow.
The ones I bought:

Yep thats right. To play it safe, sammy switched batteries. and liquidated what they had in stock, which is all the batteries you see on ebay and alibaba being sold.
Now, which one would be the newer?

Very likely that Samsung took precautions after the Note 7 story and revisioned their batteries. It's not apparent which one of the batteries is the newer one. At least for me. You might be able to compare it to a S7(E) which hasn't got its battery replaced.
I don't know which is the newer battery, but one of them was made by Samsung SDI and the other by Chinese company ATL.
In the case of Note 7 most of the spontaneously combusting batteries were supplied by SDI, while the Chinese market Note 7 used batteries supplied by ATL that were deemed as safe, but when Samsung switched from SDI to ATL batteries for replacement Note 7 devices, some of them started to spontaneously combust as well. (http://tech.firstpost.com/news-anal...ly-to-blame-for-this-whole-fiasco-340300.html)
Of course what happened with the Note 7 doesn't affect the S7 Edge, but no matter which battery you install make sure to use an official charger from now on.

I just bought the Zens Dual Qi charger in the UK for use in the US. Any have the UK version could you let me know the electrical plug type and voltage input? (also if possible the input requirement of the Pad itself, I do not think it required 220V to work) Could I adapt it to use here in the US or am I out of luck. I still have a bit of time to cancel my order.

Tried the Energizer dual charger one, but it is oh so crappy, it requires precise location to work.
Found the answer from another post, I will re-post it for other to see

So, after staying in backlog at most sites I now canceled all of them and decided to order one directly through www.zensshop.com. It was shipped the day after I ordered it and I got it in a day. Did a small photoshoot of the unpack:

The charger is 100-240V, so should work almost everywhere. I believe they are not associated to Maxell, as Maxell is a relatively big company that has just recently launched it, whereas Zens already has their chargers up and running for 2 years. I believe they were the first in Europe, so probably Maxell was inspired by them. I think the design is great and the positioning is very good. You can just put it on the charger and unlike the Energizer ones; it doesn't really matter where you put it. Also it's not under an angle, so your Nexus 4 won't drop off. I am very happy with mine, so good luck finding yourself one if they haven't sold out yet

hey guys,
i have the wiredest problem.
i've phurched a new galaxy s5 and when i connect it to the charger, a charging icon appears but the battery % dosent go up, only down.
i've downloaded many battery analysing app and theey all seem to think that everything is fine, that the current flows and all, but the % dosent go up!
i switched a battery and a cable and its definitly a phone problem (i can charge the battery in another phone)
some suggested that i sould replace the charging port but it looks completly new and fine, and also cost quite a lot of money to replace.
is there any other soultion?
thanks!!
Sorry I encountered the same problem on my old s3. I finnaly solved the probleme by changing the micro hdmi port. Sorry I know you won't here this but i search everything. I replace myself it's not so hard. I do it because my s3 was in ending life.
It does sound like the charger port.....
The replacement parts aren't that expensive (under £10 off eBay).
Just make sure you get the right one....
Look at the pictures......

These parts are device variant specific......
It would probably be a good idea to match 'rev' versions too.....that was certainly the case with the S2....If the wrong rev version board was put in, it led to signal problems etc......

Does NFC work with your new battery?
Fake batteries usually don't have an NFC antenna, therefore NFC may not work of it is fake.

I don't know. Maybe 1 year.
If the battery is fake, as mentioned there will be no NFC antenna. The only way to be certain is to peel back the label and look for the antenna. A fake will also not last as long between charges and will fail a lot sooner. As mentioned, you may get a year if lucky.
So, I had to change my original Xiaomi Redmi 4 Prime charger 'cause I lost it, and I went for AUKEY quick charger -> https://www.amazon.it/AUKEY-Caricabatterie-Caricatore-Samsung-iPhone/dp/B01AHYR04M, tempted by the possibility of charging my phone in less than the usual 2 hours.
However, I'm realizing now I probably did a bad move, since I'm reading many posts about how using a quick charger can reduce your battery life on the long run, some state they've used quick charge from the beginning (I mean right after they bought their phone) and they had to change battery or phone after one year and half more or less, not even able to reach more than 2 years, whereas some other claim they've always used a normal charger and their battery is as still good as the "old" times.
I'm thinking about sending the charger back and take a normal one, what's your opinion about it? Should I go for a charger with 2.0A in output?
R4P doesn't have Quick Charge compatibility in any case. It'd probably overheat like crazy even if it did.
Sure it has...

... see that circle around the thunderbolt icon? That means fast charging, when I charge the phone with a non quick charger, it only appears the thunderbolt. And it's also stated in the block screen, "Fast charging".
I bought a battery off eBay, but I’m either thinking it’s a dud or that it’s fake, my old battery only lasted 2 hours, but now the new battery stays on 100% for like 3 hours, then rapidly drops to like 40-30% then the phone freezes and I have to power reset it, And it shows 0%, than when I charge it will get stuck on like 45% or whatever and suddenly go to 100%
I tried factory reset, downgrade to marshmallow, problem persists, I’m thinking a fake battery, because I replaced my 7 Plus and it’s good, no need to calibrate that

with eBay you really do take your chances. Same goes with memory cards. Personally I wouldn't go anywhere near ebay for either.
With that said, I bought my replacement battery from here... No problems at all. Battery still going strong after 8 months. You do need to calibrate, but it tells you how to do that when the battery arrives.

Or in states
https://www.ifixit.com/Store/Parts/Huawei-Mate-8
Ifixit also has great tutorials on how to carry out the replacement procedure. Both on there website and YouTube....
I bought another off another seller, it's all good now, I'm guessing the other was a fake, it weighed like 5 grams less than original. Now I'm getting epic battery life again + marshmallow
