Don't buy off-brand batteries. I personally only use ones from the OEM(LG in this case), but at the very least only buy from a reputable company. Like Anker, ZeroLemon, etc
Hmm thanks, will check if anker do this I doubt it though.

At the moment, I'm just waiting patiently until more options become available.
I'd like to find an external charger and a quality 3000mAh in the $25 range. I really don't want to waste $10-$20 on an ebay chinese battery that doesn't work (or will degrade much faster than an OEM battery).

Yeah, I'd have to definitely agree with that. After all the phone is relatively new and in comparison to the likes of Apple and Samsung the batch of accessories and options we have are limited due to how LG dont have that much monopoly in terms of marketing power,
However I am really surprised as to how carphonewarehouse (as i live in the UK) dont have batteries or any retail shop at this moment.
Like you said external charger and good 3000mAh battery (preferably the orginal) is key to be honest.

Anybody tried these batteries from Amazon?
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0055QL97C/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&m=A1N5BNWVY8XERQ
I've seen these before, never look too much into them. I know a lot of people are against the eBay batteries but I know Galileo makes a solid battery (not sure if one is available for 3VO). But look into MugenPower also.
I'm personally looking into the Innocell 1900mah. I want as much as I can get over the stock 1750 without straying away from the slim size.

they are a good price. Just worried about the quality.
I can at least say the two with charger (similar deal to these ebay batteries now) for my evo back about a year ago still work fine (gave one to a friend for his Hero when I got a extended live batt) also the charger worked GREAT. (It easily rapid charged the batteries without getting hot at all)

Morn concerned they may not charge correctly or the capacity may not be what's advertised.
Anybody else notice that the the Seidio extended battery is only a 3.7 volt? Same as alot of the batteries on Ebay and the ones on Amazon.

You got something against buying straight from the source and saving tons of middle man money? It's like how overpriced most of the cases are. So much stuff is made in china now I really don't care about paying a lot extra for a warranty on a product if i can buy it over and over 5 times before i spent as much as the "official" made in china from an overpriced accessories manufacturer.

I dont have anything against Hong Kong. My wife ordered batteries and a charger like this for her Samsung Epic and when they arrived they were the wrong batteries and the charger didnt even work. At least I have a better chance returning and getting my money back with Amazon or Seidio.
And yes, the shipping time sucks.
FWIW, Just thought I would check today and low and behold, they were available..
I ordered one and I will report back with results.. Make sure you get one with the back with the speaker opening.. one of the other ones does not have it.. the thanks button is right below the link.

I bought one before from Hong Kong, it worked very well (exceeded my expectations, especially for the price)...but I'll never use an extended battery on the 3D just because the texture on the back of the phone makes this phone so unique!
you are probably looking at roughly 2500mah actual
bought one, only 3 left
if this is from a "real" manufacturer, why do they only have 5 for sale?
Sumthin fishy here..

Great! Now I need to decide if this is the battery door I should make a mold for a TPU case around or not. I'm sure seidio and sprint/htc will release their own door as well.

Seidios batteries are traditionally way over-rated as well. My favorite product of theirs is the slim "extended" batteries that are actually less mAh and then the OEM battery I'm guessing this battery will come in at 2500-2800mAh, Seidios will probably be between 2800-3000. You can send the battery to batteryboss.org and they will test it, but I doubt you'll want to drop $75 on a battery and then send it to someone. I actually
have one of these standard size orange white and red batteries and so far it seems good. Maybe 90% of what the OEM battery is. I especially like that is has an Android on it!

$15 battery? Even the OEM batteries can be obtained for less then that. I just bought a Samsung battery for an i500 for $10. Evo 4G batteries are about $10 too. These batteries arent fakes, they arent advertised as being OEM. It's just a chinese brand, and from my testing so far they are well packaged and well performing.
Please make the tpu case for the Seidio extended battery, I love this smoke one I have for the standard battery. And I'm getting the Seidio 4000 this week
I'm getting the seidio "boss" battery, and would definitely buy a tpu case for it. These tpu cases are a gem, so well worth the purchase.

I had 9 original EVO batteries from ebay and they worked PERFECTLY.
Guaranteed they make them in the same factories, just some of them get one sticker, others get another sticker. Maybe they're in different towns, but I'm sure it's the same process and they work great for me. Not like the $60 batteries are made in america - they're made in China as well
These under 20 dollar battery's work.
But for how long
They can last a year but don't be surprised if it stops holding charge/discharges fast/takes long time to charge within a couple of months use
Its like a EverReady battery or those cheap batterys they have at the dollar store
They work but soon you have to replace

Only reason to be worried is because why?
Over-heating melting or what?
In most cases those cheap batteries do not even have half the capacity printed on the sticker.

Whenever you hear a story about a phone exploding in someone's pocket, there's a cheap battery to blame.
Seems too good to be true, but I'll avoid it. I'd rather spend the money on an OEM battery with 3,000 mAh so I'm assured that it'll work, and that it'll last.
Here's a hint: if a battery is advertised as being the same size with more capacity, it is too good to be true.
I ordered one for $8 off ebay. I'll post results in a few weeks when I get it.
I live on the wild side and ordered the miracle Chinese 3500 batteries. Oh well, life is a gamble. When I get them in two months, I'll report my review. Oh well, it was just $17.99
What could go wrong...:cyclops:
Batteries and sd cards are scams on ebay. The batteries often even have a label underneath the top one with a smaller capacity written on it. They also don't last very long at all. Even if it works well new, prepare to be displeased in a couple months.
I have bought those black ones in the past and they were pretty bad. Like they only lasted a couple hours. Hopefully these are better. But I have also bought the ones with a yellow and red stripe and they were much better. Not as good as an Anker but still pretty good. Here is one for 6 bucks and it ships locally. http://www.ebay.com/itm/3300mAh-battery-for-LG-Sprint-Optimus-G3-LS990-D850-D855-S-Stylus-/191257900734?pt=US_Cell_Phone_PDA_Batteries&hash=item2c87dbf6be
These aftermarket batteries is one thing I will not touch with a 10 foot pole. No matter how much I need a spare. There's only a few reputable 3rd party battery manufacturers that I would buy without hesitation. But I wouldn't go near eBay batteries.

I did a run down test on one a few years ago, and they were about 75% compared to factory, haven't tested since then and that was in the HTC Rezound.
If you have the time, charge them up and do a run down test with screen on full brightness playing high res video until it's dead, repeat that with stock and then you'll know what you've got. And you can let us know

Ebay is fine if you know what you're doing. I purchased one from a seller a while back and haven't had any issues with it, but I made sure to do my research beforehand.
The seller took pictures (not generic web images) of each battery he was selling, still in their LG hard plastic packaging that you would get if you bought it from a store. Not the no-packaging bulk factory batteries that everyone else sells. And unlike those bulk batteries, the one I purchased had the same language writing as my stock battery: English, Korean, French, Spanish, and Portuguese(?). Compared to other batteries you see on ebay that are all in Chinese save for some bits and pieces of English.

Because I don't have one within a 100 mile radius of my current location? That's like assuming I live in a big city and have access to every single store and manufacturer dude, not cool.
I bought 3 battery from ebay 2 from 1 seller and 1 with the LG charging cradle. I have been using them for 4 months. I read reviews on amazon about so-called legit batteries and people say that it isn't compatible with phone.
Hello,
I bought a genuine battery from Amazon and discovered that is really old (produced un june 2014).
I checked also other sites on Amazon and all batteries seems 1 year old.
The battery seems impossible to find in real shops.
I have heard that LG battery cells are not the best and break down over time. Does anyone know if this is true? just wondering anyways if not buying a genuine battery what would be a good brand to buy?
On my Samsung phone I was pleased with an Anker brand aftermarket battery.
Personally I advice you a better one (IMHO):
http://www.amazon.com/Battery-Anker...F8&qid=1446501645&sr=8-2&keywords=lg+g3+anker
This battery is really well made and got premium cells.
I've purchased one for my Samsung Galaxy S2 (ofcourse related model) and it totally outperforms stock battery.
I'm really happy with it!

Exactly...i 've got one from aliexpress..It looks like its original.
I bought Anker G3 battery (two) and charger package for the cost of probably just one genuine battery (if you can actually find a real one), couldn't be happier. Performance as good as the original battery. The charger is very convenient to use and the charging speed is decent (overnight). So now I have three batteries, always fully charged and ready to go for any trip I will take.

Hi, so I am having issues with my battery life of my lg gt recently it has been so bad that I can barely have more then 2 hour of screen on time. When I bought it new I remember that it was much better. I tried everything like reset the phone , using air plane mode and lower brightness but it doesn't help that much. Is there anything I can do because I don't really want to buy a new battery since it's really expensive from lg and other buyers from ebay have really bad reviews.
Sounds like a failing battery.
So what if it costs a good chunk from LG? Be thankful that you have a removable battery at all- with most other phones you would be struggling with a heat gun to pull the back off to even get to the internals.

Amazon Canada has the battery with charge case for $55, but it says ships in 1-3 months. I find when they say that, it usually ships quicker.
There's probably a lot of fakes out there, so buying from amazon or a reputable ebay seller with a good return policy is probably your best bet.
They sell batteries on Amazon for like $8-10.
