i've got some OEM batteries already and i just need to find a charger for them instead of swapping them into my phone to charge them...
will this suffice?

From what I can tell with the battery plugged in it slow charges at 300-350ma where as with usb cables it charges at 800ma. I would not expect it to charge a battery in less than 12 hours if it was near dead. But sure it will work with either the international or at&t version. Remember though, you get what you pay for.
Edit: I have bought various items from China, different vendors. A usb hub I bought bit the dust after a few months use.. It was about $4 too. Just don't expect to use it on a daily basis and have it last very long.
good point, i'll stick to oem i guess
it's not like it's a **** load more money...
what do you think of this?

also note: the item is in S.Korea which makes me think it's the real deal OEM
I am pretty sure that is only the charger though so beware. I bought one and it clearly stated extra battery included was oem as well

Pay little more than the cheap wall charger and get this one. It not too expensive, its Samsung OEM shipped from S. Korea. The only thing is that it does not come with AC adapter but you can use the one that came with the phone.

I have one and it works great.

That looks like the charger that comes with the Hyperion battery you can get from Amazon. It does charge slow--I think it takes about 6-7 hours to charge from empty. I didn't mind, though, as it would charge while I was doing other stuff and when the light changed from red to green, I'd just slap another dead battery on there for charging.

Has anyone seen anyone selling and OEM EVO 3D battery? I had a bad experience with cheap Chinese batteries, so I never buy them. I need an OEM.
Also, what about a wall charger for the extra battery. Has anyone seen one? Seidio will probably sell one, but I don't see it up yet.
I'm just curious as to what you mean by "a bad experience"? I also bought some cheapo $10 chinese batteries for my Evo, and they were great, except the build quality was crap, they basically fell apart on me after about 6 months. What happened to your battery?
On an older, dumb phone, I bought a Chinese extended battery. After about 3 months, the battery started causing my phone to reboot constantly. It took me a long time to figure it out. I vowed never to buy a knockoff battery again.

Has anyone tried other phones battery on the photon?
I checked the accessories from the Motorola site, and they have a battery charger for our phones battery and it is also compatible with bw hw bf hf and bh series battery. ours is HF6X right? so if our batteries work with that charger i'm pretty sure the other batteries would work with our phone.
Heres the link http://www.motorola.com/Consumers/U...attery-Doors/Battery-Dock-for-HW-and-BW-US-EN
I dont have another battery from other motorola phones to try it. If someone else does would you try it in our phones? thanks!
I havent tried any different batterys, but ive tried a bunch of chargers and they seem to all work well. used a verison car charger from my friends BB. used an HTC charger. and used an off the wall china mass made discount special car charger.
all of those charged well and i didnt experiance any heat issues.

yeah pretty much chargers are becoming universal as the standard for phones are now micro usb i believe. with the exception of Apple. Reason why I ask the original question was cause I dont really like china branded battery that much, not that i hate it as i've had a few in the past but if i can get OEM batteries cheaper than 20 bucks, i would go that route instead.

Don't think that is OEM, its 1500 maH and made by CS Technology.

Check above. The battery I supplied is OEM for $16 from Ebay. I got it for $25 2 weeks ago. Oh Well. The OEM# for the Photon is HF5X. I called Moto and this is what they told me, PLUS it's on your battery. Just pull it out and look at it.

Well, when I got mine it stated a rating of 1650MAh. I am looking at it right now. Maybe the 1500MAh batteries are knockoffs, but the one I got is a Motorola OEM (that's why I paid $25 instead of $16). Oh Well. I have used it and it works just like the one in my phone.

well if you say so, i'm not gonna doubt you. but the battery you received for 25$. does it look identical to the battery that came with your phone? because on that ebay listing, my battery looks nothing like that.
I know the original Droid X battery is not compatible ... tried it already.

Pretty sure the Photon battery is unique, maybe not when the Bionic comes out but as it stands now. If you see a battery that claims it is for Atrix/X2/D3/Photon (or any combination), it will not fit the Photon, they are just guessing that its the same, which is not.

This site (which has been mentioned on this forum for USBJigs, is offering 2 OEM Style batteries PLUS an external charger for $20? I would love to pounce on this offer..
EDIT: yea i just ordered it... i figured for 20$ if its a bust im not out much.
I was thinking actual Samsung batteries, but OEM "style" has me questioning.
i bought it, i figured for 20$ i would give it a shot, ill update the thread when i get it so everyone knows if it was a good buy or not. but i also wanted a jig (my main reason for looking there) so worst case scenario i just spent $26 on a usb jig and battery charger. (26 after adding jig)
I was really thinking about picking up one of those too. Report back when you get yours and let us know how it is. Is the jig for the sgs2 the same as the captivate one?

I'm sorry, I'm not sure. There were links for different phones on that site, I just clicked ours and these accessaries were showing.
The batteries will work however you will not be able to plug in the USB cable. Doing so will cause endless boot loops. Its a known issue when using i9100 batteries.

guess that's the catch then...
Those are Chinese generic batteries that are available on eBay and elsewhere. I had a set and charger for the Captivate, purchased for less than half what that seller is asking. They did work, but nowhere near as well as the OEM battery despite having the same nominal capacity rating. The charger was also really weak at 300mA? or so and took hours to charge (USB is 500mA). They were good when I needed a few extra hours in a pinch, but that's about it.
Swapping batteries also can throw your battery stats off.
I have no experience with the USB boot loops etc.
Speaking of made in China batteries for the I9100 I just got one in the mail. Seems to be working fine with no reboots, hope it stays that way.

And there's apps for having separate battery stats in case you have different sized batteries.

Bought the same pack from a different seller a couple months ago. I think I paid about $10. Regardless price can't be beat.
Pros:
Pretty good life, roughly 75% of OEM.
Cons:
Charger has since crapped out, one of the pins broke off inside.
Batteries wouldn't charge in phone, gave message "battery disconnected" on screen
One of batteries died on, wouldn't charge.
Overall a good deal so long as your charger doesn't crap out like mine did. I've had this same charger come with almost every cheap battery pack ive bought for different phones. It's the exact some one except the size of the battery slot changes for each battery. This is the first one i've had crap out so i'd say its a fluke.

How much did you pay for yours, $30?
I have this one as well.
I have the same pack and I purchase from the same listing at Amazon. It allows me the added assurance of battery power.
CONS:
The batteries wear down faster than the OEM battery that comes with the phone
Something else to carry so you need to have them in your pocket or a traveling container of some sort to carry them with you.
PROS:
Fast swap with a fresh full charged battery.
I love the charger has an USB port where you can plug your micro usb cable in and change the battery in the phone at the same time that you charge one in the dock.
It was worth the buy for me. I'm always looking for more ways to accent my device experience.

Wow very nice deal.... ima have to get me a kit for emergencies...
Just wanted to mention that I purchased two Anker stock size batteries and wall charger with additional USB port for $29 shipped.
They come in a very nice box... almost looks like a gift box, and everything has 18 months of warranty. Can't beat it for the price. I bought it from Ankerdirect on eBay.

I'd had great experience with S3 and S2 batteries and chargers from them. The Note 3 charger is ONLY for the Note 3. It's not a universal charger that will charge any Anker battery, but I prefer that, because the previous models, though universal, were a bit difficult to adjust the pins on for charging.
Really happy with the investment.

Has anyone used a NOOT battery before? According to their website, it does have NFC built in.
It's currently $5 per battery on Amazon. Looks exactly like the Anker, but with different branding. Most likely the same battery but at less than 1/2 the cost.

Do you really think Anker's batteries are designed in house?
You can contract your name onto any product template up in the Shenzhen
Have you noticed that many of their products look like the generic ones you'd find on the fleabay sporting different brands
They have good CS, I'll give you that
To those who have this kit, does it take longer for the charger to charge compared to the stock charger? I had this with my note 2 and it took forever (around 12 hours) to do a full charge on a completely dead baytery. I'm thinking if I should get this or the official Samsung spare battery charger

I picked this up recently. $30 seems fair considering the batteries support NFC. I prefer the non-universal charger that this comes with.
I had the equivalent ($20) product for my S2, and the Anker batteries outlasted the stock and replacement OEM Samsung batteries by a long shot. Of course, the original battery that came with the S2 did swell up like a balloon in less than a year.

I would never buy that battery. Ever.
There's a reason that it's half the cost. You get half the reliability.
And yes you can get cheap stuff over there (Shenzen) because a lot of it is the cast offs and slightly imperfect versions.
I've been getting close to two days of average use per Anker battery, even though my Android System usage has spiked since updating to Kit Kat. So slightly better than the stock battery on Jelly Bean.
I've bought anker batteries for all my phones and so have my friends. The factory Samsung batteries ive had all ballooned up. All my ankers are still good. They seem to last longer than the factory batteries, maybe I'm just imagining things.
Currently I rarely ever charge my phone on the cable, I'd rather not risk wearing out the usb port.
I wake up, swap in the charged battery from the charger and stick the old one in the charger. Rinse repeat.
Is it just me or these batteries with charger cost US $260
Many sellers raise their price to something ridiculous when they are out of stock. Still $29.99 on Amazon.
I bought a set of these for me and my Fiance as soon as we got our Note 3's. We are both very accustomed to having spare batteries, we also had some with our Galaxy S3's. I have not had any issues to speak of with these batteries. Life is on par with stock battery, charge as expected, charger is functional etc. I would highly recommend them. I think I snagged them for about $26 on Amazon a couple weeks ago.
