hi bodies,
i purchased a Hyperion Samsung Galaxy Note from amazon a week ago, which someone recommended in this forum. it's mark 2600mAh on the back of the battery, so, should be last a little longer than my stock 2500mAh right? but after a few cycles, i feel strange it looks like last only half as long as my stock battery.
i teared off the label whether this battery is good or not, see what i found, there is some code LS514664AR 1750MAH. 2011/12/19.
accoding to my mechanical engineering experience, LS514664AR is the serial number of battery cell, and 2011/12/19 must be the date of manufacture, and 1750MAH is the real capacity of the cell, which means this battery is 1750mAh.
much more less than the 2600mah they marked, and also the 2500mAh original.
i was so disappointed with this company, they made poor products for us, and cheat us more over! i will never trust this company again, anyone else have their batteries? just tear off the label, you can see what you get.

nice find, thanks... never trusting non-oem batteries again
You shouldn't trust any battery, even one that says OEM, from Ebay or Amazon. Especially when they are charging $10 for what should be a $25 battery. When I see that I always order 2 because I know they are fake and will not last as long.
I got two of those Hyperion batteries and a wall charger off eBay for $25 shipped. Even if they are 1750mah, they won't damage the Note they just wont last as long. After SEVERAL cycles they are lasting me 4-5hrs of steady use, which for $25 is worth the money for an emergency backup(s).

I agree 100%. People are foolishly buying these cheap batteries thinking they are getting a great deal but what they are getting is cheap counterfeit battery that doesn't perform as well as the original and could do damage to the phone.
Be smart people, pay the extra money and buy your batteries at legitimate vendors, your mobile provider or Samsung directly. If one of these cheap batteries happen to explode and leak all over your phone you can kiss you warranty goodbye.
The OP should write a negative review of the product on Amazon and post pictures of the counterfeit battery backing his claim.
Arent people just asking too much? If they dont mark it high enoigh will u buy? And if there are no non-oem companies around, will u complain oem charging 30 bucks for same capacity battery? Though i agree company shouldnt mark high, but at the same time these companies.need.to be around to keep cost down. Else oem charging $100 for battery is justifiable (like apple!)
I have a 5000mah hyperion battery for my galaxy note, and I ripped off the label and it says "1500mah" directly on the battery... further peeling of the sticker shows what appears to be 3x1500mah batteries under the shell.. so 4500mah on a 5000mah advertised battery.
I'll post pictures later but it says:

I also purchased the Hyperion battery pack, and the only problem i have had with it, is that the charger broke 2 weeks after i got it. The batteries seem to be lasting pretty close to the same amount of time as my original battery: 8-10 hours w/ moderate to heavy use. I have experienced ZERO problems with the batteries themselves.
heard good thing about this one

it's two inside, if you compare the thickness of your OEM battery, you will find hyperion 5000mAh seems doubled, which means 2*1500mAh=3000mAh.

Yes the Hyperion battery is just one of many batteries with exaggerated claims.. Its lower than claimed capacity became clear to me when I compared its gram mass to the OEM, and it was 10 grams less... Thanks for sharing your tear down finding... I am hoping to to build a data set to calibrated the general capacity and battery mass... Given the generic chemistries and similar constrained volumes they all share in the note.

you guys think this is a gimmick? http://www.ebay.com/itm/5200mah-Ext...ccessories&hash=item4cfeb50af4#ht_2436wt_1161
I don't usually buy cheap stuff... but if there are three 1500mah batteries, or even two 2500mah's underneath that label im sure it would still last...
what you think?
just got my anker 2500, so amazing with this battery, after 2 full cycles, my BMW pro shows it's 2656mAh, even more than what is marked on the battery. I can say it definitely last longer than my stock one, which improved the BMW pro.
here is an other one's review in this forum.

Question, did you buy your battery directly from Hyperion, or some third party vendor?
Reason I ask, is since someone has mentioned, and I've also have seen it suggested on some youtube videos, that because it has some slight name brand popularity as an inexpensive alternative, third party vendors could make even cheaper copies/knockoffs.. To get more sales?
I would be more weary and ready to warn about the vendor you ordered from. This is just a suggestion, for all we know the actual Hyperion battery manufacturer maybe the culprit. IMHO YMMV

I wonder if there are two of those 1500 in that...
I found some vendors on ebay selling what seems are legit "Samsung" branded batteries. Check this picture out;
Made in Japan / Finished in Korea, except that in spanish on the third line, it translates to Made in Korea / Mounted in Korea... Oops..

Guys I really really need a larger capacity battery. The one I have now barely lasts me a day even if it is just on standby.
I found this on eBay

The seller seems to have a decent rating and everybody that bought this battery from him for the Hermes seems to have left positive feedback. From what I saw, there are over 20 people who bought this battery from him and nobody seems to be unhappy from their comments. I tried emailing a few of the buyers to get their comments on it, but eBay doesn't allow you to contact more than 1 person in a day.
Some of the complaints I've seen here on the forums about Cameron Sino batteries.
1) The battery status on the phone is always stuck at 100% with this battery
2) Some of them would not charge at all
3) The battery would hardly last a day on a full charge and was only slightly better than the OEM 1350mah battery.
4) The battey door cover is poor quality and is not an exact fit.
At $25.00 with free international shipping, it's a steal and I don't want to be plonking down $80.00 for a Mugen battery considering I might be getting the Kaiser soon.
Any opinions or alternatives would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
EDIT - PS. I did finally buy the same Cameron Sino Battery. You can follow my review and reports about the battery here. (Same Thread - Post 21 onwards)
Well,
I bought me this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/Ext-2800mAh-Bat...ryZ15034QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
It lasts for several days even if using WLAN & BT. Batery status and charging works properly - except charging the battery entirely takes much longer! Now, this is normal with that capacy!
The back door fits exactly! There is a tiny color difference - the back door is a little bit brighter than phone but that does not really bother! In fact you only will notice this the first few times that there is a slight difference!
I bought before from the same seller as well when I still had a MDA VARIO. Made good experiences. The battery I bought now is really working very well, the included backdoor makes sense and getting an additional free wall charger + car charger can't be bad either!
Hope that helps?
If you don't mind me asking... how long ago did you get this for your Hermes?
I have an Orange SPV M3100 with a dark Grey - Black Door. Is there any battery that comes with a back door in that color or even close?
Again thanks for your response.
I have this battery now for more than 3 months. The 2 batteries I bought for my WIZARDS I had over 3 years in use.
I took some pictures to let you see the color difference and that it really does not bother much. If you PM me your email address I can send them to you - they are too large to attach here, sorry!
BUMP... anybody?
does anyone make a case that will fit this extended battery?
I just picked up a 3000mAh battery for my Tytn. Edit to add link http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=150167782211&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT&ih=005 (was kinda pissed as it was shipped from Hong Kong rather than Vancouver) Using TomTom Navigator for hours on end and well as constantly playing MP3s when I can. Plus all the other stuff I do with my phone I was killing a fully charged battery in under 12hrs.
With this new 3000mAh battery I can actually miss a nightly charge and still be good. The charge indicator seems to work properly. I did notice that when it starts to go below 50% it drops fast, however I can go almost an entire day of use and not get below 80%.
The good Battery lasts MUCH MUCH longer than the 1350 that was in it.
The Bad
Weight, it makes an already bulky phone feel twice as bad. Especially if you holding it in your hand talking for more than 15 or 20mins at a shot.
Bulk. It no longer fits correctly in the HTC Branded case that came with my phone. I can stuff it in there and it will close but not nearly as well as it did before.
Backplate. Although a great fit and just as strong as the OEM backplate. The colour is wrong for me. I have the lightgrey almost a slight metallic blue ting to it, and the backplate they sent me was a dark metallic Grey.
As soon as I find out where I left my old digital camera I will take some pics of it and post it up.
Final Impressions.
If you are a busy body that really puts a strain on your phone and can't be bothered carrying a travel charger with you. The Extended Battery is a great investment.
However
If your phone is in your pocket more than in your hand, and can remember to charge it at night then the slim OEM battery is probably good enough.

Yeah, I know what you're talking about! When I received my battery the back door was a dark silver one but my 8525 is graphit! However, it does not look to bad either considering that I do not sit and watch the back of my phone!
I uploaded some pictures here: <link no longer exists>
There is also a link to an eBay auction of that battery on that page. In case the auction is ended already you will find it again in the seller's store or by performing a search on eBay with tha auction title.
Sure,
the phone's weight is a bit more but considering that I can use my Hermes for at least 3 days or more it was woth the US$9.99 I've spent! Lucky me, I was the only one bidder on that item!
The battery door fits exactly, nothing moves nor shakes! Battery status works perfect!
After seeing your pics I REALLY need to post up my pics. Because You have the backplate that looks to be exactly like my phone and I have the backplate that looks to much match your phone. Would you be up for a trade? Once I post up the pics and you can verify the colour and like new condition of my backplate.

Finally ordered the Cameron Sino 3000mah battery. It should be here in a week. I'll post a review once it gets here.
I did not even realize it until I started taking close up pics of the battery and back cover. It is a Cameron Sino battery.
Here are the pics
I have shrunk the pics down to 640x480 if you want to see a higher Go to www.captfiero.com/cellphonebattery/master
LOL... if only you had posted these pictures or had figured out you had a Cameron Sino battery a week ago... I would have had my battery by now with no need for further research
Thanks Capt. Fiero.... feel a lot better about my purchase now that I know there are other TyTN users with the same battery... minus any of the problems I had outlined.
Great Pics... fantastic zoom quality.... what camera are you using?
The Camera is a rather cheap camera, but dang it, it takes the best Macro shots of any camera I have looked at. Better than some $1000+ units. Its not great for distance or low light, but I will be keeping it for a long time to use for inside taking small high res shots of stuff.
Its a Fuji FinePix E500 4.1mp with a Macro Zoom feature.
I need help to buy this battery with 3000 mAh.
I am from Serbia in Europe and don't have here e-bay.
Can somebody who can to buy it to send me it with post-express.
I will pay!Please!
The guy I bought it from ships to any location in the world.
Check his website http://www.megacapacity.com
It's only about a dollar or two more expensive than it is on ebay.
Hmmm... I have a Cameron Sino 3000mah battery on my Dopod 838 and I only seem to get about 11-12 hours out of it. Most of the time it's in standby, and with wifi off with only bluetooth always on.
Is this normal? I've always thought that the battery life sucked, but just thought it may have been normal...
How long does it take to charge the 3000mAH battery to full capacity?

So, when do we trade the back plates?
Just picked up an Orange branded TG01 (WM6.5) that is in great shape so immediately came here to peruse the forums for a good ROM. Before I get started just want to say that you guys perform a great service and I really appreciate it! I've been periodically checking in here since end of 2008. Had it not been for the excellent ROMs like the Schap's 4.31 (WM 6.0) ROM for my ancient, but bulletproof, HTC Hermes 8525 not sure what smartphone I would have ended up with.
Regarding TG01, I have searched these forums a bit trying to find which is the best way to proceed, but still too much of a TG01 n00b at this point. Here are some questions/comments if some of you wouldn't mind answering for me: (Thanks in advance!)
1. I'm guessing Android development is dead on TG01 since it seems most developers have moved on already. Is that correct?
2. There are no polished versions of Android where all functions work at this point?
2. From my searches so far, it seems like the developers' WM 6.5 focus was/is mostly on stripping out unnecessary crap, like I found that Orange likes to include, to free up memory, resources, and improve battery life. Is that a fair assessment? Even after some preliminary searching the forums here I still haven't a clue which XDA ROM has the greatest functionality, but without the pork. I have to say that I'm really disappointed in the (I guess) stock WM 6.5 in my phone. It seems so dumbed down compared to my old WM 6.0 vsn. I had access to just about every possible feature/setting of the OS, but this 6.5 vsn is so limited for access and customizing. Of course I'm sure much of that was from the cooked XDA ROM. I see now why the general public was so negative about WM 6.5. Anyway, looks like the only alternative at this point is to find the best WM6.5.X ROM for my TG01 since WP 7 seems like vaporware for this model also.
3. Does the TG01 actually have an internal GPS receiver? When I click on that feature it begins looking for a network. Is that because of the Assisted-GPS or because the phone doesn't have the receiver? Orange Maps is installed, but it gives me an error message, probably because I'm in Thailand, and this phone came from the UK.
4. Trying to sort out the tiny 1000 mah battery problem like everyone else has. One option I found in these forums is the very expensive Mugen battery kits. Are there any other alternatives?
Sorry about the n00b questions, but I like this phone and hope to give it a good home (with some upgrades) until prices come down on the newer Galaxy line of phones. Phones in Thailand are expensive, even older models. While a new Galaxy S 2 sells for about the same price as in the US, the Galaxy S still sells for around $440. Even a new Omnia II still sells for $235 here. New ones on eBay are selling for ~$95.
Will stop for now. I welcome any and all comments and advice.
Thanks!

@CrashMurdock,
Welcome to the Forum - and no such thing as too late
I believe my WM6.5 ROM (see link in signature below) is about as close to a definitive 'simple' but fully functional Titanium edition (ie. what the Tg01 could have looked like out of the box! ). There are a number of carefully selected cooked in enhancements and additional apps, but it does not include Mobile Shell, given that is something which can easily be added to taste if required.
You may wish to try it out and see what you think, even if just from interest to see how the device can behave. Overall I would hope you will find it a dramatic improvement on the stock ROM you are currently 'enjoying'. Beyond that, there are a range of other WM6.5.x ROMs available - a good place to look for a roundup is Pere's ROM Table which lists all the editions available and provides links to their sources.
With regard to your question about GPS.... the TG01 has a proper integrated GPS receiver which works extremely well when set up correctly and with suitable GS mapping software. Personally I favour Garmin XT when driving and Google Maps for general reference, but there are others using Tom Tom and other apps quite happily. I have made various registry edits in order to effectively control the GPS and am now very happy with its performance, whether using Google maps or Garmin XT.
You also mention the 'battery problem'. Personally I favour the Mugen 1300 mAH battery which is only a tad thicker than the stock battery and retains the original back cover without problem. Just a littlet trickier to get the cover off but mainly knack. Another Mugen (or could be the stock) then lives in my wallet as a charged spare. No problems then with endurance, particularly if you have the opportunity to top up from a laptop sometimes.
Best regards,
Kevin

If You have any electric skills and nothin against thick tg01, You can utilize middle or large Mugen covers and
"naked" li-pol battery in connection with original 1000mAh battery. This solution is about 3 times cheaper than utilizing original Mugen 2600 or 3900 batteries.
There is the thread on the forum with my solution and pictures.

Hi Kevin,
Thanks for the warm welcome and the great info! I actually already downloaded your KPW110618.007 vsn a couple of days ago, but haven't installed it yet as still in the fact finding phase. I will definitely give it a whirl. Also, thanks for the links to Pere's ROM Table, I looked at it briefly the other day, but am unfamiliar with many of the terms used, so was/am a bit confused since being new to the TG01 game. I'm sure that will pass shortly. Hope you guys don't mind more n00b questions.
That's great news about the GPS. I have an old Googlemaps cab, but am hoping to find an app that doesn't require online service as cell-based Internet here in Isaan, the northeast Thailand farming region, is beyond slow. My TG01 shows Edge service only, although my 8525 shows G service availability. Not sure if a new radio version will improve that or not. Any ideas? BTW, which registry editor are you using?
I just checked your Mugen link. Looking at their 'fat' 2600/3900 mah kits, I'm wondering why Mugen didn't take advantage of the phone's massive real estate to make a double/single layer array of 1300 mah batteries wired in parallel instead of just stacking them up making for a very thick case. From a left hand side profile it would look something like this:
**********************************
* 1300 mah battery * 1300 mah battery *
**********************************
battery-------------> * 1300 mah battery *
compartment ------>******************
or better yet...
**********************************
* 1000 mah battery * 1000 mah battery *
**********************************
* 1000 mah battery * 1000 mah battery *
**********************************
battery-------------->* 1000 mah battery *
compartment ------>******************
(Sorry for the crudeness of the diagram as the infernal extra space remover kept trashing it. The asterisks represent the battery pack arrays)
I would definitely like to get weekly charging cycles like I have with my 'fat' 3000 mah Cameron Sino battery I have in my 8525. I found 1000 mah TG01 batteries on eBay for around $8.10 each including free shipping. Here's the link:

This phone needs and deserves a 'fat' battery setup to feed that 1 GHz CPU and to preserve the micro-USB port. It's a shame that Mugen batteries/kits are so extremely expensive. Sure would like to have one of their 2600 cases for the project, though.
Kevin, thanks again and I look forward to more exchanges.
Cheers!

If You have any electric skills and nothin against thick tg01, You can utilize middle or large Mugen covers and
"naked" li-pol battery in connection with original 1000mAh battery. This solution is about 3 times cheaper than utilizing original Mugen 2600 or 3900 batteries.
There is the thread on the forum with my solution and pictures.

Greetings fxdjacentyfxd,
I plan to do just that similar to my crude diagrams to Kevin, above. I'll search for your thread.
Thanks!
Never is too late! Welcome aboard....
Regarding your comment, I suggested exactly the same idea somewhere in the forum some months ago... I agree with you, Mugen design sucks!.
Now I'm using a 2600 mAH battery and I'm very happy with it.

Hi again Pere,
Thank you for the nice welcome! I had a much better experience once I bought a 'fat' 3000 mah battery kit for my HTC Hermes/8525 a couple of years ago. I'm not great at soldering so plan to get one of the Thai phone shop technicians to do the honors. I've just ordered (2) Cameron Sino 1000 mah batteries so will try a triple battery "optimized" array. Yesterday I sent an email to Mugen asking if I can buy a 'replacement' 2600 mah rear cover. Hope they'll part with one...and for a reasonable price.
Cheers...
Nice!
Please share pictures or video if you have success

You could ask me
Cover cost is 7$ ( any TG01 cover ) with shipment to any country.
There is internet shop in mugen, so You did not have to ask them about it.

Greetings fxdjacentyfxd,
I am confused! After reading your post I just went back again to
Code:
http://www.mugen-power-batteries.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=Toshiba+TG01&x=29&y=10
and only found the same three products of 1300 mah battery, 2600 mah battery with rear cover and stylus, and 3900 mah battery with rear cover. Do you have a direct link listing only the back covers?
Thanks!

He he, it is special backdoor . I got it from mugen few months ago .
https://www.mugen-power-batteries.com/mugen-power-battery-backdoor.html
Cover model for largest battery for tg01 is :
HLI-TG01XL (Black)
I checked it few minutes ago and it is tragedy
From unknown reasons two things has been changed.
I guess they had many orders for covers only, not batteries and changed
inquiry form.
1 ) First, cost of cover has been changed from 7$ to 14$ !!!
2) You have to insert "battery order" number so in other words You have to proove You bought battery in mugen. It is without sense. What about if I bought tg01 in second hand from big mugen battery and cover has been destroyed ?
I had luck. My total costs was 7$

Ironic as that was going to be my excuse if Mugen asked me why I wanted the back cover only after requesting one online a couple of days ago. I was going to tell them I just bought the phone used (true) and accidently dropped it and the back cover is damaged. If they asked for battery ID stuff I would just say the phone is in the shop being repaired as it stopped working. Instead, I got an email from Mugen today saying they don't have "cases" only back covers. I'm thinking WTF??!! I was very clear in my written request for a 'replacement' rear cover for their 2600 mah battery pack for the TG01. Will see what happens tomorrow.
Thanks for the info!

Just got an email from Mugen with a direct link to order. Either battery (2600 mah or 3900 mah) back cover is now $14.98! How long ago did you order yours for $7? At least international shipping is still free so not a bad total price considering. The problem is as you mentioned that the buyer must provide "Your Battery Order Number". Also, there's this note at the bottom:
"PLEASE NOTE: We will only ship additional battery doors to customers who have purchased batteries form us and only for the battery types purchased."
Looks like I'm out of luck with the pirates at Mugen.
Weighs at only 8.9oz, it pack's 12,000 mAh battery in a small package, enough to charge your mobile phones and more. Perfect for everyday use, longer trips and emergency situations.
Features:
Highest quality Li-Pol battery with capacity of 12,000mAh (LTE battery is rated as ~2,000mAh)
Dual USB outputs to charger 2 devices at the same time
Give your smartphone up to 95 hours of extra talk, internet, and video time, so you can truly enjoy what your phone can offer
2.1A output to charge your lte or tablet efficiently
Compatible with all cell phones with micro USB connection, such as Blackberry, HTC, Samsung, Motorola, LG, etc.
the battery comes with a number of different tips. This ensures that it is as universal as possible. In addition to a wall adapter and a cable for charging the battery the system includes tips for Sony PSP, Sony Ericsson, Samsung, Nokia, miniUSB, microUSB and, of course, Apple mobile devices. Last year this nice array of tips would have been important. Yes, we’ve all become a bit boring with regard to what we actually carry day in and day out, but something tells me this won’t last for long. I’m not sure what new device will woo each of us, but I have no doubt there will be something.
Input:
DC 5V/1A
Output: USB1: DC 5V/1A; USB2: DC 5V/2.1A
Battery capacity: 12,000 mAh
Dimension: 5″ x 3″ x 0.92″ (127mm x 76mm x 23mm)
Weight: 8.9oz (250gram)
this battery is a beast. It has a huge charge capacity and yet it is fairly compact and light. It is also simple to use. There is one button on the top that, when depressed, shows you how much charge is available and begins the flow of current.
On one end you will see the microUSB charging port that will make sure the battery is up to a long, grueling day of use. To the left of it is a 1A USB port. This will charge your lte as ac. On the other side is the 2A USB this charges as a dc current.
And, of course, the battery can be used as a flashlight. The first time I saw an external battery with this feature I was like “Why?” Then I actually started using it and discovered that it comes in rather handy. The light on this one is bright. That, combined with the capacity a fully charged Power Bank will offer would likely mean this light could be turned on at the start of CES 2012 and still be going when it comes time for CES 2013. (Okay not so much, but you get the point.)
This Power Bank 12,000 mAh Battery is a huge battery in a small package. It is well made, feels quite sturdy, packs a punch and has pretty much all the tips you are going to need
I bought mine off ebay for 25 bucks. best 25 i have ever spent. my self with my lte. My wife with her 3D down to my ics tablets. all have fully charged and still it had juice. i leave it laying around all the time. i hardly ever have to charge it up fully.

Just an fyi, looks like the ebay seller OP mentioned is beginning to update the listing to $50 (which is more on par with most other battery packs in that mah range.
If you click on his auction lists, there are still some listed at ~ $25, gett'em while you can at that price.
Thanks again OP, just ordered mine.
It appears that while the black unit is now $53, the white one is only $23.55. Just ordered one.
Just bought one too and don't have any need for it at all but for 23 bucks why not

Received email from the seller that there are issues with their remaining stock of these. She said that a new shipment will be getting in on Oct 16, or she offered to send a different model (10,000mAh) and a $3 refund for the price difference. I'm opting to wait for the 12,000mAh battery. I'll let everyone know how this works out...

Ditto for me, I just wanted to add that the email was fairly apologetic and seemed genuinely interested in providing a quality product.
Also, all the listings are marked to ~$50 now. Glad we got in for half the price!

i finally had to charge it. my wifes used it every day for past week to charge her 3D in her purse.
As a lot of people I don't want to run out of juice and ordered a couple of "Genuine Samsung" batteries on ebay (one for myself and one for a friend). Paid 6.50 pounds each that is approximately 10 dollar. I received the items accordingly and unpacked them. As a technician I checked them intensively on al sides also in comparison with my original battery. Off course, I knew this sounded to good to be true, but the sellers feedback was good and no feedback reported fake goods.
First thing I noticed was that the serial number on both batteries was the same, this can never be the case with a serial number
Second thing is that the contact are lying deeper in the battery housing than the original one
Third thing is a small placard next to the contact points to cover two small holes of the assembly.
Than I started searching on the internet and found the following text which I qoute:
[/qoute]
We particularly focus on the Battery to discuss, because it is difficult to identify real and fake battery. looking from the appearance of many fake Samsung batteries, it almost can not distinguish the fake from the real, however , the fake will not become the real, teach you a few methods of identification, real and fake battery will be crystal-clear to present in your eyes .
Method 1: Check the new battery whether there is a film on the back
when you buy assembled battery, there is a normal film affixed to the back, however the original battery did not have. it is the easiest way of identification.
Method 2: Check the battery positive labels work
the label of the original battery is pasted precisely and its size matches with the size of the grooves, there is no obvious gap; the work of the assembled battery(Cell phone accessories wholesale) is usually less stringent , the size of the label is inconsistent with the battery grooves, giving the impression that the label is not affixed rightly.
Method 3: Check the litter bin symbol on the label
there is a small dot in the circle of right corner of the original battery‘s litter bin, but if you observe carefully, you can pick it out; there is a solid round dot in the bottom of right corner of the assembled battery’s litter bin, it is said that a small number of positive labels of assembled battery also have a small dot , but you'll also find that the patterns of assembled battery’s litter bin slightly larger than the original battery. This point may require you to spend more time on observation, if you do not have experience, you can pretend to select several types of Samsung cell phones, then take the opportunity to make a comparison between them, you can see which one is real and which one is fake.
Method 4: Check print quality of the letter under the bar code on the label
printing font of the original battery is rather special, scan lines are constituted by the dot, they are clear and grainy, the "/" between “S “and “N “slash is very obvious and serrated (sorry picture is not clear); Print quality of the assembled battery is obviously much more rough.
Method 5: Check the battery's internal parameters
Enter your cell phones "* # 0228 #", the original battery generally can display manufacturer, capacity, voltage, temperature and other information. Press the "^" button on the navigation keyboard to page up, the percentage displaying in the bottom of the page is the remaining capacity. The assembled battery does not display electric battery manufacturer, capacity.
Method 6: Check the battery contacts
Samsung original battery(Cell phones wholesale) metal contacts are bright and neat; assembled battery contacts are jet-black and the arrangement is irregular. If you observe closely you may find the differences between their contacts, but it is difficult to make a judgement if there is no comparison. it seems that it is really a bit difficult.
Usually one original battery will take you more than 100 yuan, while assembled battery can be purchased for about ten yuan, a huge difference may let many people fond of bargain, when you purchase cell phones, you can use the aforementioned ways to distinguish carefully,let the thing be worthy of the money.
[/unqoute]
I hope it is clear for everybody. Cheers .

All very interesting but sadly complete rubbish. First of all the serial numbers are in fact batch numbers, so if you buy two batteries from the same batch they will have the same number.
Without picking up on every single point individually the differences in labels and casings on genuine original batteries are simply because they are made in different factories around the world and as with any factory they have different equipment. In fact the labels are almost certainly produced by label printing factories and the batteries are, in many cases, manufactured for Samsung by battery makers rather than by Samsung themselves. Think about it - there are literally hundreds of millions of mobile phones sold around the world every single year which means hundreds of millions of batteries - do you honestly believe that every single label and battery are going to be identical?
I have sold thousands of Samsung mobiles over the years and have seen many original batteries (as supplied with the phone) where the labels look completely different. I have purchased batteries directly from Samsung with no small dots on circle on the waste bin. I could go on, but sorry, the above post is simply an opinion and nothing more with no foundation whatsoever.
When you buy "genuine" batteries for 10 dollars, you should realise that you're not probably gonna get real goods. "Genuine" batteries go for atleast 20 dollars.
Why do people insist on quoting the OP???

Generally yes, but there's nothing stopping the china factory from doing a little business on the side by selling the batteries online directly to the end users.

Except laws and contractual agreements. Anything they do "on the side" is illegal so its the Black market. Its best to assume if its too good to be true - it isn't true, even if sometimes those products are genuine

On one hand you're right on the other hand I'm right lol.
I know for a fact that some official Universal Music/Studios factories (that press discs) also press pirate discs by night (when the factory is supposed to be closed). So you know, you never know :angel:
Specially when it comes to places like China, where western thinking and logic doesn't mean antything.
I never said you were wrong. A genuine product leaked on the black market though, is not really genuine, even if by manufacture, it is genuine. When it leaks to the black market, all integrity is gone. Half of what makes a genuine product genuine, is warranty.
But if someone says, a genuine battery is $20, anything that is $10 is fake, they're not correct. Sometimes a genuine product on the black market can be $10, however, chances are that $10 battery IS fake. You cant keep buying $10 batteries hoping they will be genuine.
One of the easiest ways to identify a fake battery is to look at the weight. I bought a so called "genuine samsung battery" for my S3. When I weight it on my precision scales, the fake battery was 20 grams lighter than the original battery.
After being burnt once before after buying a cheap battery for my BB off ebay, I'd only buy batteries directly from the manufacturer, like Qcell, Zerelemon... Are you guys willing to share the names of the sites you bought the dodgy batteries from?
And level block size has anything to do?
I did the " *#0228* " and the original battery which came with my Note 3 reports "Level block: 8" while the eBay one I bought through Auction reports "Level block: 4"
Weight: Original one weights 54,60 gr. while the one from eBay weights 43,54 gr. That is 11 grams less...
I just wanted to ask this before I start peeling them off...

The number of level blocks appears to correspond to the current charge level (43% = 4 blocks or 96% = 8 blocks). The important thing should be the range shown ("0~8"), and when 100% charged, does both batteries say "8 blocks"?
The weight is a good indicator that it may be fake. Probably it's using a smaller inferior cell padded with a plastic filler to make it same size as a genuine battery.
Anyway the idea that the BatteryStatus screen can help check if it's genuine appears completely moot because the screen does not show any manufacturer info about the battery, as was originally claimed in OP's post. Even with the stock battery, all it shows is a bunch of numbers. It doesn't show the manufacturer (name) or capacity (mAh) even with the stock battery.
I bought 2 month ago one of the ebay-'originals' for 14€. Approx. 70% capacity and not grewing during 3 charches. I sent it back and the substitute showed the same. I bought a battery in Samsungs-eStore then (30€ incl shipping) and everything's fine: began with 85% and grew upto 100% after 3 charges.
All labels are different. The weight of the fakes is the same as the old original, the new original differs. So keep it simply and buy from Samsung.
Purchased a battery from eBay India for around (INR) ₹700 around August end.
It got swollen like a bread in oven (within last month)
Today got it replaced from service center for brand new one
I had receipt of ₹1600, VAT paid, though I paid only ₹700, which made the purchase completely authorized.
PS. Before purchase, I clearly asked the seller if I can get this battery and walk into service center, will it be valid. He responded positively, and it worked
So for me, it was like getting genuine battery for $11 :good: :good:

I am going to get a nexus 6 and 9 and I am looking for a good big dual USB portable battery charger. Anyone who could recommend me one?
Thanks!
there is HUGE market for these. alot of the high capacity ones are a scam however. it depends on what size you are looking for but this one i believe is pretty much considered the best in a capacity/value/reliability standpoint. I own one myself and it has a huge amount of power.. but its heavier then you will expect lol. it also dropped like $16 since i bought it. but i would reccomend looking around online for a few days and read reviews before you buy one.

Anker has proven to be a damn good brand for portable chargers. As someone with a Nexus 4 it becomes a requirement when doing things such as playing Ingress or using Google Maps.
Not saying the Nexus 6 will be plagued with the same battery issues (in fact this seems to be the first time we saw a proper battery for a Nexus device, plus with 5.0/Volta we might be seeing more stability in battery life) but in any case I have had no issues with my chargers from Anker.

This site does pretty good real world analysis of stuff like that. Here's their review of USB backup batteries...
http://thewirecutter.com/reviews/best-usb-battery-pack-travel/
I usually do my own research then check in to see what their take is on certain items and the things that make my short list usually end up in their short list too. If their arguement is convincing for their top pick i usually go along with that.
With that said, I'm ordering the recommended battery.
Thank you all for your answers!
I asked the same question on reddit. Seems like the most people recommending a Anker one. So I think I will get me one of those
Anker has great batteries. I still have my 9000mah battery from over a year ago. It's still running strong which is great.

I'm actually in the process of flying to California and I'm stuck due to delays so the battery is really coming in handy.

I don't mind I've just been playing games on the G3 because I have a 9000mah backup to charge it
I love this one. It's slim, not too heavy and charges at a good rate.

50 000 mah's it says. I am not sure if its that high under a load but the packs can go for a long time betwixt charges.
that said, i have three of these. I have 4 dashcams in my SUV and two of them run off these battery packs. i can go 2 days 24/7 recording using a DOME G90 A70 (ambarella A7 chip -- used in the gopro hero 3).
less than 20 bucks.
same cells Anker uses. the distributor i purchased from is in LA so super fast shipping. these same packs are on amazon under different names.
please dont get caught up in brand names. these packs i have had for several months and they are/have been solid performers. they don't mind a little LA heat either.
just another option. my real world experience with these for several months using dahcams, plus my one max, gopro (it can charge the gopro) and moto xoom, tells me this pack will go well with the nex 6 and 9.
i keep one of these (50 000 mah) in my gopro pelican case kit at ALL times.

i have one of these suckers, mine claimed 30000mah lol. I feel that is more around the amount, i can get around 2 fills of my note 3 battery while the phone is on. It has lasted for almost 1.5 years which is awesome
You won't be disappointed with Anker. I own 10000 mAH second gen for almost 2 years. It is still very strong and deliver as promised.

Flux Portable battery charger
The tech market is flooding with a variety of portable chargers each which varies with its size, design, battery capacities, and more such things. I owe a flux portable charger and I also suggest you should go for it as it will enable you to charge not only your Nexus 6 or 9 but also your other smart gadgets.
Anker is a good name for Accessories maker. Considering a quality and performance, Anker is reasonable in price. I've recently bought a 20,000 mAh Anker power bank from Amazon, and I used it a lot and loved it.
